Seedlings and Daylily Clumps

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

This morning I found a very unusual first-time bloomer in the seedling patch. It's a UF with faint pink tips on the petals and sepals. This is from the No Boys Allowed x Unknown cross.

Here are three of the seedlings from that cross blooming today. They all have blooms in the 7 inch range.

The Dancing Flamingo x Bubblegum Delicious clump had 13 huge blooms today. It's much taller than last year, taller than my yardstick now.

The Tribble With Blue had 14 blooms - what a performer!

All American Chief

Michigan Nikki

Carolina Pale Face

Green Mystique

Little Mystic Moon is one of the few minis I still grow. It stays because it performs well in the shade.

Laughing Skies looking darker in color than normal.

Those No Boys Allowed seedlings are all good, but I do love those watermark eyes. Dancing FlamingxBubblegum D clump is really impressive! Your posts of The Tribble with Blue is convincing me I need it. Trying to ignore, but that clump is looks really good. You have not really had it that long, have you?

Nancy - The Tribble With Blue has been here three bloom seasons. I think I got it the fall before that. Laura sent me at least four fans to start with, and it multiplies fast here. Also, it's been much taller than the registered 18 inches in my garden. Scapes this year vary from 23-26 inches.

Floota's photos have led me down the buying path many times. (Kind of like Rita's and Debra's) Rose F Kennedy, Hyacinth Macaw, Blue ridge Memories (I am pretty sure that was Floota). Her garden is stunning and her photos are magnificent! And so lifelike. Avelon, I already have Purple Honey Creeper, Cerulean Warbler, Ada Mae Musick, Asian Fairy Bluebird and Bird Talk...yes, like the China and tea roses, Lambertsons do well here, so I buy his. Leif and Liege, one of my sun starveds was a bonus plant from him. I do like Baby Blue Eyes, but I tend in that direction. kay

I've been going up and down and up and down just taking in all your lovely flowers. The garden shots are great, since there is so much green in addition to the flower colors. Those of us in the no-rain zones are pretty tired of burned out brown. I do love all of them but I'll just mention Dancing With Sandra, Late Round, and Pinhill Claret Symphony. Hope there are still more late bloomers to come. I'll be watching. Avedon

Debra (and Jean): You are right about the heat. After the rain we went right back into the inferno. Heat index over 100 today - going up to 106 later this week...... I was busy yesterday until the later PM and went out about 4 to see what had opened. I saw a new to me one that had opened that morning but had already gone over by the time I got to it (FFO was definitely not colorfast). (BTW Season Finale by contrast was still colorful).....What is the back ground color of El Desparado? Yellow or peach when first opened? Does it bleach out to almost white by the end of the day?............Maryl

I guess that's up to you if you wish to slice them off and leave a 4in stub of the leaves or not. I usually moved mine in September and slice them off then. It just depends on how you wish for them to look the rest of the year. Just tamp the dirt down firmly around them and they should stand up without having to stake them.

hmmm, how would one choose a favorite? I can't but the white seedling with the pink tips is certainly worth keeping an eye on. The clumps sure are enormous with all those blooms. Great post Debra.

Almost a perfect star shape on that first seedling! The Dancing Flamingo clump is stunning. All American Chief always makes a statement. And how pretty is Green Mystique!!

Your seedlings are quite nice, but I love the shape on the first one. It does look like a star. How cool!

You have some lovely clump shots. I like them all but Michigan Nikki especially catches my eye. I am still debating about adding that one.

Kate, Nan, Julia and Sherry - Thanks for the comments on the first seedling. Because of the faint pink tips, I think it is quite unique.

kay, Sherry, Kate and Nancy - Dancing Flamingo x Bubblegum Delicious is a wonderful clump. I will be lining it out later this year, registering it next year, and introducing in 2023. I have a name in mind, but I don't want to broadcast it until it is safely registered.

Nan - Michigan Nikki is hardy here and multiplies well, but it is an evergreen, so I don't know how it would do for you.

Kay - I do love All American Chief. In fact, after I got that one, I seldom considered adding any other red UFs. It just seems to be the perfect one for me.

It looks as though Green Mystique will have a good year here. What is the size of the flower on the Bubblegum clump?

Mantis - The flowers on Dancing Flamingo x Bubblegum Delicious range from 7-8 inches. The first few blooms are always 8, and later blooms range from 7-7.5. I measure the scapes a couple of days ago. The tallest two are 37 inches, but the majority are 34 inches tall.
