more blooms, more seedling names, clumps.

2 years ago

last modified: 2 years ago

Finally named some more seedlings. While they are pretty and good performers [around 10 buds] I feel they need more buds to register. I will just enjoy.

I decided to go with names with letters of the alphabet not commonly used as we notice when we do the alphabet.

Veracity, sister to the one I named a couple of weeks ago, First Light. Beryl Quinn x Fiordiligi.

Quasi-Quasar. Kent's Favorite Two x Bittersweet Holiday. I really liked the name you suggested Debra, but decided this too was appropriate [usually the brightest in the garden] and a little used letter of the alphabet.

Castle Pinkney

Coral Majority is going crazy, 4 scapes, 9 rebloom scapes

South Seas Clump

Highland Pinched Fingers clump

Judge Roy Bean clump.

Red Viper Clump. Scapes are usually tall and strong. this year just tall. Being held up by string to a pole.

Red Volunteer wet clump

Enough for now. Still way behind.

I liked the names Veracity and Quasi-Quasar and the seedlings that go with them! The Castle Pinkney and South Seas clumps are so pretty. I wonder what has Coral Majority so scape crazy this year? Glad to you have lots of rebloom coming on it.

Jan: Your 505 looks like it is 'muddy' versus the more white coloring that Paul posted. I can see the green edging. I also am noticing that the green throat which would have extended on to the petals is actually a yellowing verus the prominent green. Perhaps your soil conditions are having an effect on the bloom color? I'm just speculating as I have seen several photos posted by sellers where their petals/sepals appear whitish but buyers are saying the plant is blooming more muddy. Kay: Yours appears be blooming with a very defined ruffled edging versus Paul's photo. The watermark could be a soil reaction but the petals are definitely different. Looks like you may have more buds to open so see if the next ones are so different. If they are, contact Paul. He is one very helpful person and may have some thoughts on why the differences are happening. Julia

Please make your seedling photos smaller. Only a small portion fits on my monitor, and I can't tell what they look like. Your named daylilies fit just fine. JUST FABULOUS lives up to its name! Debra

Let's Dance Tonight is provin to be a good parent. This is it crossed with Empire of Dawn and Dusk. This is Love All Serve All X (Mary Lena X Crimson Stories) I am finally getting the dark ones like Tom Adams. This is Love for Jesus X Burning the Midnight Oil. This is Miracles Have Message X Call Off the Search. Another bicolor--Sonoran Desert Rose X a Richard Norris seedling another dark one--Snidely Whiplash X Burning the Midnight Oil I would bet this one has Klehm parentage--maybe Princess in Alexandria. It's in the group we called The Jumble 2020. The wind flipped a tray of seedling upside down and the names of some got lost. It seems every year we have a jumble collection. This is Westbourne Frills and Thrills X Chico Tim. Notice the split in the upper left petal? This is the kind of damage I observed after hail a couple of seasons ago. I love the tropical colors on this one. A few more to come . . .

Brad , Wow Quasi Quasar is such a true red! Love it ! not many daylilies that I have seen are a true red. So many are blue reds or orange reds.

Love the name Veracity . It is such a soft baby pink. I often find myself attracted to blooms with the white midrib , add a little something to a bloom.

Your Red Viper probably needs dividing. Castle Pinkney most caught my eye. You've had good rains, haven't you?

Mantis,

You are probably right about Red Viper.

Yes, we are way ahead for the year in rain as we have been for several years now. Not at all complaining. I hate drought.

I like the seedlings and their names, both pretty! Most of mine have a quite low bud count this year, but so are the registered ones.

Beautiful clumps, Coral Majority and Castle Pinkney are my favorite.

I like Veracity too. Nice open bloom with a pretty color. I'd like to see more of it as it develops.............. I lost Coral Majority to the February arctic blast. That's the second time I've lost it over the years. I actually like my South Seas better though. It takes a licking and keeps on ticking. It even rebloomed for me last year. A surprise that I think probably won't happen again any time soon.................Have I missed your Smokey Mountain Autumn? Always look forward to seeing it...........Maryl

Maryl,

Smoky Mt. Autumn had a terrible year, Few buds and scapes, short.

I have Coral Majority by the front porch, so it gets shelter from the porch and the house. It has done well in all aspects, and perhaps that is why. It gives a big colorful greeting to everyone for 2 months or more many years.

The seedlings look good. I like the color of Coral Majority and South Seas. My South Seas also performed well this year. Red Volunteer and Red Viper clumps look pretty with all those blooms.
