Mnclerk - The seedling has a 6 inch bloom on a 28 inch scape right now. But it's still in a crowded seedling bed. When I get it planted in my evaluation bed in full sun, it may grow taller with a larger bloom. I won't be sure of its stats for a couple of years. If you are just looking for a near white to plant with Tuxedo Junction, and don't want to cross the two for seedlings, I would recomment a dip, Margo Reed Indeed. Celeste - I can't wait until it heats up to see what will happen to the Precious Candy's color. My last photo from last year had such contrast between the petal color and the eye and lots of teeth on the edge. Debra

I have balloon flowers which always re-seed each year. I never know where they'll pop up. I picked Siloam Sambo as my favorite in your other post and it's still my lst pick. Love that dark eye and deep color. Celeste

Thanks to all of you who gave me positive comments on Born to Run, but 1 out of 16 blooms so far isn't really very good. It has set several seed pods. Maybe I'll have better luck with its kids. Rita, Jean and Linda - Love On A Wire is nicer than I remembered from last year. Today's bloom was the ffo, and I really liked the color and the form. Julia - Westbourne Little Lamb's eye is a true red, although the veining may look wine colored. It's so well budded and well-branched this year compared to last. But the scapes are still shorter than registered. It's such a cheerful flower. Casey - I'll take every good bloom I can get from Born To Run. It may be one of those daylilies that only looks good grown in a greenhouse. That's where I first saw it growing, and the blooms were flawless. Celeste - I hope Born To Run will do great for you. I've seen lots of photos of it looking pretty. Chris - I have no idea how American Doll would do as far north as you are. It had a slow start in my garden. But here in it's third year, its really clumped up and the scapes are tall and well-budded. Avedon, Cindy and Celeste - Tyrolean Treasure is a very nice bitone and a strong grower. It's one flaw is a propensity for scape blast. Nancy - Francis of Assisi is not as tall as it should be where I have it growing, but so far no flowers are actually down in the foliage. The blooms are floating right on top. I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble with Born to Run, too. Debra

Celeste - Empire of Desire takes awhile to open, but it does open flat here by 10 a.m. I hope your carved daylilies will open well this year. We always like to give them more chances to perform well. I usually give my splotchies and poor openers four years before moving them out. Debra
