FFE Seedlings 2022

last year

There were a lot of first time blooming seedlings this year. A lot for me (v small yard). Nobody sees them so I figured at least people who like daylilies will look at them.

Still dealing with some health issues that makes it unpredictable when / if I can use computer. Last year I couldn't manage a single post, but could comment more. We'll see how this goes.

#1

Attempt to get a better edge on my seedling by crossing it with Gilded by Grace (GBG)

eyed/edged sdlg x GBG

#2

eyed/edged sdlg x GBG

#3

Attempt to get a red eye and edge, by crossing lights / whites with Raspberries in Cream (RIC)

#4

#5

#6

Attempt to give my dark red seedling with a thin white edge a better, wider edge by crossing it with Kingdom Without End

sdlg x KWE

#7

sdlg x KWE

#8

sdlg x KWE

#9

sdlg x KWE

and the biggest one of them all I almost killed with care, barely survived..

#10

Russian Destiny x bee

I normally don't keep bee pods but RuD (I call it Rudy) is my latest tet so why not get a VL sdlg, but it's an exact copy

#11

Attempt to get a big flower, UF shape by using my only huge UF which is Yellow Titan (YT). I was expecting mud..

But oops

#12

sdlg x YT, I know Bonanza, but walnut broke the scape after the FFE and the thing opened every single bud in a cup of water! I think it deserves another year

#13

pinkish brown

#14

and orangish brown

#19

#20

another cross to give my dark red seedling a white edge, Born To Reign's pollen

#21

late purple wm sdlg x attam

You got some really nice seedlings! Of course, I love the dark pink/purples with watermarks! # 7, 8 and especially 20 appeal to me. They all look good to me though. I am sorry about your health issues, I hope this went ok.

eri54, here is a picture of Dublin Elaine taken June 19th, 2013. I believe it is the best clump shot I have. Dublin Elaine has always been a good grower for us, very reliable and rarely singles. This picture was taken in the evening about 7:00 p.m. and the flowers look good, no melting out. Dublin Elaine Dick, a closeup of this photo shows a couple of insects. I didn't realize they were in the flowers until I saw the blowup of it. One is probably a grasshopper, don't know about the other one. Also, on the pictures of Good Impression and WB MCR and this one, there are little black insects, they are very prevalent on our plants. I have found slugs on a few flowers, and ants, too. Beautifully Embossed, just realized this is the first Maryott hybrid I have. Maryl, you asked about this one. This may be the last bloom, there weren't many buds on it. It appears to have opened up a little bit more than the previous blooms.

Well it is a pretty one, and I can understand why you want it. Purple Tarantula is another really pretty one. I moved it last year but it still did pretty well this year and will do better next...Pink Tarantula is improving each year..Next year is the leap year. Thank you Julia. I have quite a few putting up re-bloom scapes; some of them have several so that extends the season. I am already moving some of the plants around or out and new ones in for next year. I seem to reorganize every year. kay

Thanks all for your comments. I was particularly happy with those two purple seedlings today. Sherry - Fuchsia Sunrise does have an unusual color combination that I also find pleasing. Kay - The temps are down from 100 to 95 - cooler, but certainly not cool. Nan, Kate and Kay - Maney Augustine is growing in a shadier part of the garden, and the blooms have pretty much kept their color. It always makes a showy clump. Nan - I'm so glad to read your flowers are looking better too! Debra

Best Budded Daylilies of 2022
Q
Comments (15)
Sherry - I was looking at this thread again and noticed your comment about daylilies with fewer scapes having more buds. This is something I've really noticed since I've been hybridizing. My seedlings tend to have more buds the first two-three years they bloom. Once they grow into large clumps, the bud counts go down. I think that's a good reason to divide large clumps into smaller divisions. Debra

What a great bunch of seedlings! I really liked the first two and then kept scrolling through the rest and saw many more I liked!! Numbers 7, 8, and 9 really caught my eye!! Good job on these.

I love the first three eyed and edged seedlings! Those crosses worked out well for you, getting nice, wide edges. The Seedling X Kingdom Without End cross worked well. My favorites are #7 and #9.

In the second group of seedlings, my absolute favorite is #16 - such great shades of pink in that one! I also like #20 - lovely colors, shape, and a pretty edge!

Nice seedlings! I especially like #1 and 2. #2 has quite the extravagant edge. I have always loved the look of Gilded by Grace, but it won't grow here. I'm glad you are getting something dramatic out of it. I also like #16 (pink is my color) and #20 (love the watermark.

I hope they all do well for you.
