BRIDGETON CORSAGE (I moved it from a poor location to a much improved location. I hope the sepals improve) MAGIC LACE KINDLY LIGHT Have a great rest of the day. Back to the grind for me. David

All the rest of the pictures are seedlings. This is the incredibly frustrating thing about hybridizing. Why can't I get a great flower on a great plant. Why are the great flowers on puny plants and the blah flowers are on great plants. I absolutely love this flower, but it will never be registered. The plant is just too weak. It is Fox Point X Randal the Runner. Back Draft X Sam Abel has about 25 buds per scape. Mary Lena X Crimson Stories. Merry Moppet X (Spacecoast Tiny Perfection X Forestlake Ragamuffin)ea Back Draft X Identity Crisis Bodacious Bite X Lined in Lavender a row of red/white daylilies No parentage is known on this one. We just call it The Jumble. Bob is fond of doing a word puzzle in our local newspaper called The Jumble. One day he was bringing in one of his tubbed bananas to overwinter in the house. He walked by the table where cups of seeds were drying and knocked a bunch of them off. We planted them, but we have no idea of what their parentage is. Nancy

Signet, we just got Carnosaur a few weeks ago. I think it was grown in Florida and already had a scape. Actually, we are baby-sitting Carnosaur for our club so it didn't cost us anything. In three years we will take back the increase to auction and keep a piece for ourselves. The luck of the draw gave us first pick this year. Maryl, the sad story is that we no longer have Krakatoa Katie. We had several lined out double fans and a few small clumps and it all died. The small clumps tried to grow this spring, but didn't make it. We have had several do that this spring. They put out a small fan and then it dies. There were only two other people that had Krakatoa Katie and one of them lost his. His yard flooded in the winter (a drainage issue in his subdivision) and it died. The only Krakatoa Katie that lies is in Indianapolis. He has about 6 fans of it. We told him that when it got big enough, we wanted to buy a couple of fans from him. After growing it for about 6 years, I'm surprised that all of it died. Debra, our goal is to get a wide red edge on the white daylily. Unfortunately some of the best edges are on the southerns. I was using Stellar Stitchery because of its red edge (and it has white teeth on the sepals), but it died this spring. I will try to replace that one. Bullfrog Kisses and Marilyn Monroe both died as well. We do have some seedlings with red edges that are offspring of Stellar Stitchery. They look good and we will be using them this season. We also will try flip the eye color to red by using Sam Abel, one the the widest edges on a hardy one that I know. Sam doesn't set seed very well though. What I'd really like is a red edge with teeth (red, white, or gold--I don't care). That's a few years down the road, I'm afraid. Here's a seedling that will be used this year (if it is still alive--I think it is). Not as heavy an edge as I want, but it does go almost all around. It even has a few teeth on the sepals. It is Stellar Stitchery X (Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick). Nancy

The Houzz hobbits are playing games with our posts, it seems. Glad it was resurrected because there are lots of pretties here. Shirley Koch is right up my alley!! GORGEOUS. I see you're posting one year old seedlings and wanted to ask what percentage of your seedlings bloom the first year, roughly? And when you say one-year, by that do you mean they are started inside the prior year over the winter? I ask this because I just got started with seeds. I started roughly 260 seedlings in Feb. and March and they got planted in the garden in late May/early June. They are doing terrific and growing well. I am wondering if I could expect some blooms next summer. Also, I have 5 seedlings of Ink and Pink x Exotic Starfish....so I was happy to see your photo of Ink and Pink. Seeds were bought off the LA but this year I'm making my own (limited) crosses. Not much space so I have to be selective.
