While they are all nice, the second is exactly my type of eyed daylily.

I agree they are all very beautiful. If I was choosing from a catalogue I would choose no.2. My favourite shape in daylilies and love the colour combination and the fine edge...A BEAUTY. If that is their first season then the skies the limit. Well done.

Ms. Wade seemed to be a fine woman with many assorted tastes. I would have liked the quilts plus some of the chickens. Ok all of the chickens and all nick nacks. Add the dolls and the kitchen things, IE glassed , dinner ware etc. Many years ago I went to a sale like this for Auntie. My mom and I were there, in fact some of the firsts, and it was priced right. Some of the things I love most in my nick nack collection were from her. Have a great day all. Cannot wait to see what you got! Paula

A dear friend retired after teaching MANY years. She was feeling a bit sad, but her last day made her glad to be leaving. One of her 'entitled' students -- smart, but lazy -- failed to turn in a paper that made up a large percentage of his final grade. She failed him. His wealthy parents took it up with her, and she stood her ground. They took it to the superintendent. They didn't want him going into high school 'with that blot on his transcript', and it would be 'inconvenient' to the family's plans for the summer if the boy had to attend summer school to make up the credit. The superintendent took it up with my friend. She stood her ground. On her last day at school, after a good-bye party, she learned the superintendent had changed the student's grade to 'pass'. A year later the family contacted my friend, asking her to tutor their son, and she did. The family chauffeur would bring him to her home and wait in the limo until the session was over. By now I suppose he is a vice president in the family firm I wonder what he took away from this experience...

I use this orchid mix, some members here highly recommended it so I thought I would give it a try. Have only used it about a month and I love it so far, just have to be a little more on top of my watering. I can only find it at Lowe’s Online but if you sign up for their free MyLowes program it ships free.

All of them look great. The last two are my favorites because of the colors and they don't look like any registered ones that I know.

They are all beauties! I love the roundness of the 1st one, the matching eye and edge of the 2nd one, the wonderful two toned eyezone of the 3rd one, the shape form and ruffles of th 4th and the color combo and double edge of the last one. If you need a southern test garden...I'm your gal!! :)
Thanks for sharing.

I like the color on #2 and #4, but the form on the other two (#1 has near perfect form IMHO). You can be proud of any of your seedlings.

Congrats...all beauties! Of the five, #1 is definitely my favorite. I think you should cross #1 (love those big fat round petals) with #3 (great eye).

#2 is my favorite. The form is perfect, and it looks as though the edge is double - purple, then thin white.

Awesome!

I'll have to put my vote on #2, #3 and #4, although all of them look like worth daylilies.

Keep posting more of your seedlings

Congratulations on those beauties - all of them! Do you know parentage? Are they all from the same cross or different crosses? I like them all, but if I had to pick favorites, it would be #2 and #4. Thanks for sharing these with us. Do you have more seedlings to share?
