Seedlings that have bloomed recently

14 years ago

Here are a few pics of some of the more recent seedlings that have bloomed. I've decided to wait until next year to make any final decisions on which are going and which are staying. Fortunately we have lots of room so I can give them another year.

Woowee!!! I love number three. They are all potential keepers though.. 6 & 7 are pretty teriffic too. I couldn't see 6 very well though because the pic is so large. The last one caught my eye too!! I still like 3 the best though...Lovely, they are!! Ellie

You have some really pretty ones here though. The first one is just a pretty bloom. Several of them have good eyes.

The yellow looks soft and pretty with the eye and the color. Why don't you wait and see what you get next year.

The edge and watermark on the 6th one are really pretty.

THANK YOU ALL for your comments! I did not know what to expect from crossing Sister Clara to Lav. Blue Baby but it is one of my favorite seedlings! We've had a lot of rain here so some have been splotchy. Here is a pic of Sister Clara for those who haven't seen it. My sister borrowed the pic because she sold some of hers earlier this year on the lily auction. Nancy

I am a lurker here trying to get with it regarding newer daylilies. I have to jump in and say these are gorgeous seedlings. #1 has a perfect balance of apricot & rose to my eye. And the antique mauve-looking one with a pinched throat (?) in photo 7 on the right - yummy for my cottage garden style. And the richness of wine purple in #9 reminds me of the Emmerich photos I've seen. Wow!

Whose roses have been blooming recently?

The first time I saw Augusta Luise was at a rose show and someone was exhibiting a whole bunch of this rose - probably more than 20 flowers in the vase. At first I didn't really notice it but it was one of the prize winners and many people were standing around it and commenting on its strong perfume so I stuck my nose into it and WOW it was beautifully sweet and I knew I had to get one. I found one at a rose nursery the next day. They have grafted a whole heap of these on fortuniana but only a handful were successful grafts. The owner told me that this is one of those varieties that's really hard to graft onto fortuniana. (Hence the premium price you pay on roses grafted onto fortuniana). I was just happy that they still had 3 plants left so I grabbed one and it has done very well ever since.

All very nice, Sara-Ann. I really like the first one, Memoire. That second one, maybe Crazy Love, is also really nice. I have been thinking about getting Plum Perfect myself, as I hear it does not fade in the heat. Thanks for showing us these lovely roses. Lisa

I like 4, 5 & 6, but no surprise there! I always like the lavenders, and red seems to be growing on me. Do you have the cross info for them? I see you've been hybridizing with your seedlings... :o) Do you have a crimper???

Thanks for the encouraging comments. These seedlings were all started under lights in January of 2008. Some of them bloomed last September through October. For many of them this is their first summer to bloom. That's why I think they need more time before a final evaluation. The red one is from a cross using Tet Robert Oliver. That one measured almost 7" this morning and the scape is almost like a tree trunk.

Number 6 measured at 6" with decent branching and a height of 36". So things may improve some next year.

Number 3 and the last one for me. They are nice blooms...let's hope the plant and scape make them a keeper.

Very richly colored blooms.
I especially like #6 & 7 of the bunch.
What a proud Mom you must be!

I was going through them to see which I liked the best, but they are all so pretty. If I had to choose it would be #5 with the large blue-violet eye and edge.

You have a difficult choice to make. Hope they all turn out good for you.
