Seedlings and Garden Shots

2 years ago

This is one of the seedling beds with dayllilies throughout the backyard in the distance. The Inimitable kid is in the front, backed by Seedling Leonard. All those buds in the front belong to the Inimitable seedling. The Inimitable seedling will be registered in two years, if line-outs go well.

Seedling out of Skin of My Teeth with bud counts in the high teens and multiplies well. A possible intro in three or four years.

An Ultimate Sacrifice kid I like - no improvement on bud count this year.

Wonderful seedlings, Debra, you have some real winners. Not sure which is my favorite, actually might be in order you have them listed. Beautiful garden shots.

Is the Inimitable seedling a decent increaser? Is the Skin of My Teeth seedling usually clean? If so, they sound very appealing.

Kay - glad you enjoyed them! Avedon - SCREEN PATTERN has been impressive this year. It is also very fertile and I've crossed it repeatedly with YEEHAW...hoping for some patterned seedlings. Debra - Thanks! Everything seems to be blooming about a month early, but I'm hoping for good rebloom on these early bloomers. Nate - SP did the exact same thing here. Nothing last year, but giving me a good show this year. Rita - Yes, you and I share a love for the "hot" colors. I'm enjoying the few patterned DL's I've added...but they don't stand out from a distance. Kathy

Your daylilies look fabulous. I know they will look great in bloom. I always love shots of your garden. It is so very pretty. I don't know which shot I like best or which gardenbed. They are all so pretty.

Sherry - Yes, it's over 4 feet tall. Avedon - Thanks! I have a name in mind, but I no longer reveal names online until after I have my registration confirmed. A name I wanted for another seedling was used by someone else before I registered mine.. The person may have gotten the idea here, or maybe great minds think alike. Debra

Debra, I am really impressed by the whiteness of the petal color on Ruby Lipstick X Purify My Heart. I am using Purify My Heart more in hopes of getting that pure of a color. We did a comparison of background colors on our reds and whites and Purify My Heart was by far the whitest. We took this picture to compare them. From the top left are Abilene Lillian, our seedling Empire of Dawn and Dusk X Ruby Lipstick, Remembered Kisses, Ruby Lipstick, Purify My Heart, Phillies Starter, and Open Book. I wish we had included Empire of Dawn and Dusk. I used to think it had the whitest background, but now I think Purify My Heart might have supplanted it. Our seedling is not nearly as white as Purify My Heart or your seedling. We got quite a few seeds with Purify My Heart so in two years we will see what happens. I hope your seedling proves to be very vigorous and floriferous. Nancy

Seedling beds are so pretty all scattered around!!! What buds on that Inimitable seedling! (Please don’t register it with a name as hard to pronounce as that!!! Lol!!) The Skin of My Teeth seedling is pretty and deserves registration!! The other seedlings look good too. Your garden beds are still looking colorful!

Mantis - The Inimitable seedling doubles or more every year. The Skin of My Teeth seedling is sometimes extremely clean and sometimes has minor imperfections like you see in this photo. It's never what I would call really splotchy.

What a lovely post, Debra. And you mentioned Leonard again. The bed shots are just beautiful! I like the Skin of My Teeth seedling and, of course, The Ultimate Sacrifice one too. All of the seedlings look really good and the nimitable seedling is lovely and sounds as if it is a really good one.

kay - Thanks for the comments!

Kate - Inimitable is the parent of the seedling. I don't have a name in mind, but Inimitable will not be part of the name I choose. For now, it's just a way of identifying it.

Nancy - Thanks for the comments on the seedlings and the garden shots.

Garden pics are wonderful to see. The Inimitable kid seedling(now that is a mouth full) looks very good as does the others. Hope you get a good soaking of rain.

I notice when viewing your pics, your photos don't enlarge bigger than what is posted. Am I the only one that sees that? . Or is it my computer?

Lol, Debra!!! I was only teasing with that comment! I have Inimitable in my garden and my husband has always laughed at me talking about it or showing him pictures of it. :)

Kate - I figured you were kidding about the name Inimitable.

Julia - When I click on my photos, they enlarge to bigger than they're posted.

Beautiful photos of beautiful flowers. I really like the Alan Lane Agin seedling--teeth and a watermark! You can't beat that combination.

Nan - Thanks for the comment about the (ALA X CS) x Midnight Castle seedling. It's a more narrow form than I prefer, but I do like its bite. It was covered up by surrounding seedling this time, and didn't perform as well as last year. I hope to give it some room later this summer.
