My seedlings 2019 part 1
I think I am going to try to post almost all of my seedlings that bloomed or still blooming this year in a couple of (lengthy) posts, if Houzz permits of course ))
I recently discovered that there's a link in my profile where I can see my posts and it was interesting because I found my previous years sdlgs posts and I don't keep very good records so it was helpful to find out how old some of them were ))
I really appreciate any comments but of course skip if you are not interested, oh also as usual would like to know what you don't like, because most of the time I Love all my seedlings lol But seriously need to cull. I have one patch where I will be clearing some that haven't bloomed for 3 years so I can plant next year.
Anyway, in no particular order
1 - from Man of Sorrows #1, tall, large bloom, a lot of my flowers are splotchy this year, it had nice blooms too, I just like that that is bigger than MOS
2 - another Man of Sorrows kid, first time blooming, I like the large watermark
3 - Tahlequa Flame kid, tall, plain but I kinda like it especially when it recurves
4 - sibs out of Blood Sweat and Tears #1 - tall, opens well, the purpliest of all
5 - BSAT sdlg #2 - like when it recurves but this year it didn't always
6 - BSAT sdlg #3 - was new last year and very interesting form, but just like this this year, it's tall too, I will keep to see what it does next year and if curled (quilted?) sepals return
7 - Eyes On The Prize x Elegant Candy - one of my favorite, best budded, long blooming, opens well, double scapes, sets pods, just would like it to be a lighter color
8 - seedlings out of Stranger in a Strange Land (SIASL further) which itself is doing horrible this year, anyway #1 - probably going to compost, it's ok-ish, bigger bloom, double scapes on almost all scapes, but just doesn't open well
9 - SIASL sdlg #2 - very similar, double scapes too, will keep this one
10 - SIASL sdlg #3 - tall, but don't like the form, will go
11 - SIASL sdlg the best of them, double scapes as well, funny but looks really similar to one I got from a different cross; not the best pic, I need to move it
Will continue in comments

4 years ago12 - Last to the buffet line x Eyes on the Prize - moved it last year and it's the first and only of my seedling that got taller and better, we like it a lot (it does look v similar to my other Eyes On the Prize sdlg)
14 - sib to the previous one and will compost, it's short and don't like the form
15 - tagged as Utopia or Oblivion kid but I have my doubts, anyway, very good scape, double scapes on all, kinda like the look but so splotchy; I would love to cross it with something but have no idea what
16 - my oldest seedlings, cross Chance Encounter x Red Friday #2; yes, I still keep, just can't decide what to do with them; this one has that stippled look
17 - Chance Encounter x Red Friday #3 - tall
18 - Chance Encounter x Red Friday #6 - med height, thick petals, we like this one and it stays
19 - another SIASL sdlgs, I have 3 of this cross, and they are all late, I think they will stay where they are because of that, but I'll just keep two of them, they are slightly different
20 - Tower of Babel sdlg, midseason late I don't know, sometimes I like it but sometimes I think I don't need it
21 - another Tower of Babel seedling that is sadly often splotchy, I really like the color though but don't know how to try to improve it, late
22 - Chance Encounter x Undercurrent #1 - med height, it's pink lavender, I like it

4 years ago23 - Chance Encounter x Undercurrent #3 - very light, although looks yellow here, this stays
24 - Utopia or Oblivion kid, now that seems more like it, i kinda like midribs on a darker flower; it's in too much shade so it can stay there ))
25 - Filipina Bride x bee; new this year, I usually don't allow bee pods but I was getting rid of Filipina Bride and decided to keep, plus all my other seedlings from FB didn't survive; it looks like a slightly bigger version of Lullaby Baby, I will keep it another year to see if it gets any taller, too short as it is now
26 - Intelligent Design x Wild Horses; new this year, original scape was tall and just started reblooming on a shorter scape
Have one seedling yet to bloom left and it's the same cross, interesting because this one was early
27 - Lavender Heartthrob seedlings, #1, new this year, this was ffo after that they look v sim to LH
28 - Lav Heartthrob sdlg #2, also new this year, I lost a sib after transplanting but this one looks almost exactly, after this flower I broke all the remaining buds, it's med height but larger bloom
29 - my fave from Lavender Heartthrob cross, 2nd year blooming, 25 6, 14-15b
30 - Guilded Appeal x Red Friday, not sure if I should keep
Thanks for looking!
I am going to work on part 2

Comments (8)Thank Nina...Was it Jim Cooper? I seem to remember someone identified a noid with that pic... Sharon, for some reason, I can never ( until now) get a good shot of IG. I'm glad you like it... Chris, mine isn't always that pink.. Sometimes it's lighter but it has never been peach yet. Sometimes it's a little on the lav side of pink. All I can think is the soil is so different. My soil is terrible, mostly sand in some beds and clay in others. Go figure!! Kay, it took me awhile to identify IGG. When I bought it from a friend, I did not keep up with the names. She is very old now and doesn't remember...anyway, what's really neat about this daylily is that it's so late in my garden. It's just now putting up a rebloom scape.. Thanx you all...Ellie...See MoreImage Heavy - My front yard garden - Part 1 - 15 pics
Comments (8)Julie, the hostas in the urns stay there year around (at least for the last two years including the two winters). But I can do things that people in most places, including most of MI and WI, can't do. I live on the Keweenaw peninsula and we have lake effect snow... big time! Last winter was mild. Only 163 inches of snow. The winter before we had 288 inches. In both cases, we maintained an average 30+ inches on the ground at all times. So the tops of those urns were under an additional 15 or more inches of snow. Heaving and winter kill is definitely NOT a problem here! That's the only thing I love about all that snow :-) Julie and Linda, the aegopodium (Snow on the Mountain) was here when we bought the house. It doesn't seem to have spread at all in the past two years, so maybe it just doesn't like conditions here all that well. The vinca and generic stella like daylilies are much more problematic as they seem to pop up everywhere. The vinca is pretty, but there's just too much of it. The daylilies are in the shade and never bloom so they are not something I want there. i-like-to-grow, we started a hen and chicks (sempervivum) collection last summer. There was a great place that we ordered from online. They had a huge variety and really good prices. I've been searching this morning but couldn't find the url to pass on. I can't imagine I didn't bookmark it somewhere, so if I find it, I will share :-) On the other hand, collecting hen and chicks will NEVER be like collecting hosta! At least not for us :-) They are just a great extra dimension for the garden and are easy to grow!...See MoreUpdate on my tomatoes part 1. (pics)

Comments (17)Thanks so much again, everyone! Thanks Julia! Yes, some 2 years some first year, I almost never cull during the first year of blooming. Thanks Kay! Thanks Sherry for liking the 56! I totally agree, way too similar that makes it even harder to choose )) Thanks Signet! Oh I need to be more brutal, I am way too soft )) I have a very small yard so I either shouldn't be crossing or culling like 80% of them. Thanks Debra! Ooh 34th got a like, yes )) 41 is a very small bloom, I don't mind 4 inches but it is smaller than that. I made a mistake, 53 purple is 19 inches, so the red 54 is even shorter.. I did make some crosses of them with each other, if they ever get planted then in 2-3 years I will know lol I really expected more from Heartbeat of Heaven but apparently my pink seedling has very strong genes, all its seedlings mostly look like it. I wanted to give it an edge and make flowers bigger....See Morenat4b
