Three More New Seedlings Today and Three FFOS Yesterday

5 years ago

Katherine Caldwell/Dragonfly Dawn Seedling #2--color a big surprise. It's hard to believe this one and K.Caldwell/DDawn Seedling #7 have the same parents, but that's the unknown when doing hybrdiizing.

Dragonfly Dawn/Thundercat Seedling #6. I took this picture at 11:30 a.m. this morning in full sun. Here it is at 6:30 p.m. in the shade.

The eyezone on this one must come from Thundercat.

Moon Over Monterey/Dragonfly Dawn Seedling#4. This is a good example of two nice daylilies not producing nice offspring. Last year I tossed a seedling from this cross and I am sure this one is going to be removed. One good feature it has is the substance, it is pretty thick, but that's not enough to make it a keeper.

Stella's Ruffled Fingers--almost never see a bad flower on this plant.

Sweet Seneca Cameo--lots of scapes on this plant so lots more flowers to come.

Happy Returns--blurry picture because the wind caught it.

Nice seedlings! I especially like the second one. I can really see Thundercat in it. It's good to know someone is getting flowers and now we have something to look at.

I totally understand. I only upload a few photos since it seems to take me forever to get anything to upload. I'll just continue to enjoy them on this site. Your photos are great and I really enjoy seeing them. I've been watching for years and I pipe up sometimes and sometimes I just read and enjoy without saying anything. Everyone is so nice and there is a load of knowledge in these postings. I love everyones pictures and everyones kindness. Thanks and blessings to all, Mona UGHHH, i got that silly msg saying I had to change my "Subject" because I already had one. So I stuck a "2" at the end of yours. I wonder why I get this sometime and sometime I don't.

Three Things That Happened at Your House Today

1. Grocery shopped using regular coupons, digital Publix coupons, and saved money using apps as well-Ibotta, Checkout 51, Receipt Hog, and Upromise. Sure makes shopping more complicated but I am experimenting to see how much I can save if I put my mind to it,. I did get 2 free boxes of Cheerios among other saving. 2.Bought hydogen peroxide and epsom salts for 2 projects I will work on later this week-KT spot teeter and a home-made concoction like Pyrex Crystals or Downy Unstopables. 3. Walked the dog. We don't walk nightly like we used to. I have been lazy.

Update from o j, Was out of time at earlier library, so ... ... secondly, came to talk to you folks ... ... shopped for milk (on sale) and yogurt ... ... bought some glucosamine sulfate - that may help my arthritis. Had a bowl of soup at local restaurant (as had had only a coffee and slice of bread since morning), then, came here to talk to you folks (again). Tomatoes, all gathered last week, were pretty well friz; have some cabbages to get in tomorrow (before snow flies), then all that's left in the garden is swiss chard, that's sending up new, fresh shoots ... and broccoli, that's recently been sending out tiny bracts. They're both tough, when it comes to frost. Three-quarters of a mile of garden seems about enough. ole joyful

Seedlings are nice but as I have said before, when I look at those pics, my eyes are immediately drawn to that grassless, weedless background!!! Maybe because I am still pulling spring weeds out of my beds!! But, seriously, pretty seedlings.

I'll have to take a peek at my Happy Returns. I didn't see anything on it a week ago. Everything is behind here it seems (including me). Where was spring? It went from 60 to the mid 90's (94 yesterday) almost overnight it seems.............Maryl

Your seedlings are looking good. I like the color on the first one. Your second one reminds me of my Blazing Saddles seedling, so I like it a lot. You've even got the petals pinching on the first bloom, so that qualifies it as a UF!

Thanks, everybody. I think the Dragonfly Dawn/Thundercat cross is the pick of this group. I will let MOM/DD bloom out and then pull it out. Maryl, you are right, we were having nice spring type weather here, but it suddenly disappeared and the heat is on--bad news and we need rain, probably a lot of people do.

Brad, KC/DD #7 is the best one of this cross so far. It stays for another year.
