Three New Seedlings, Reblooms, Lates

2 days ago

last modified: 2 days ago

I was surprised to be getting seedlings blooming this late in the season. I don't think they are lates. I think it just took this long for them to get enough sun and moisture to scapes and bloom.

(Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise) X Big Pink seedling ffe - I was surprised to get a near white out of pink breeding. I like how the green throat spills out on the petals. The sepals also show some green. The petals show a pink blush, and the edge is a combo of green gold and teeth.

Jurassic Pink X Big Pink seedling ffe - We'd had several days of temps in the high 90s when this bloomed. It would probably be a darker pink in more normal temps.

(Cowgirl Spurs X Blazing Saddles) x Skater's second bloom

Wheel of Time started reblooming this week.

Lightning Round continues to have pretty rebloom flowers.

Zuzu's Treasure with it's last rebloom flower.

White Tooth X Skater 2L reblooming

Remembering Rose has never started blooming so late before.

Last Chance for Romance today.

Last Chance For Romance is doing well with all those blooms so late in the season. It's a pretty thing, and my other favorites this round are ZuZu's Treasure and Lightning Round (that edge is what makes it for me)..................Maryl

(Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise) X Big Pink seedling is very pretty! Jurassic Pink X Big Pink seedling looks very delicate, and Last Chance for Romance is doing great.

Maryl - It is nice to still have a few blooming. Joan Senior must be a blooming machine for you. Chris - I think the next photo of Glitter Gal will be even better. Creep, creep, creep. Kay - I have a few, but 15 to 16 seems like nothing after having 650 in bloom. As you know, it's hard to adjust. Columbus would never let you pet her, unless you gave her fishy canned food. And then maybe one stroke or two. She really hates to be touched. Debra

I always like Royal Jester when you show that one. Blue Jay is really nice too, you have several nice ones reblooming. I have a few reblooming, but most of those are finishing up now. I was most surprised with Mississippi Man. I only have a single fan, but it just put up its 2nd rebloom scape. Looks like it is adding a couple of tiny fans too. I have always loved dianthus, and there are some really pretty varieties now. Like Maryl's, I think all of mine have gradually died out. Some of the biennial forms outlasted the perennial. Guess I need to replace mine, yours remind me how much I miss them.

That's pretty amazing that you are still having rebloom. Ice Cream Emperor has such wonderful form, I think it's my favorite of this group........... We are due a freeze very soon, and it's gotten chilly enough to do in my Periwinkles............... It's almost vacation time for this gardener and with our little mini drought and my poor arthritic bones aching from dragging a hose around to water, I'm looking forward to it..............Maryl

Nat - I'm glad you like Kisses From Heaven. It's one of the few edge-no eye daylilies that's still alive here. Maryl - I've never had rebloom on this Pink Aloha plant in its current location. The first Pink Aloha I got that I grew in a pot had rebloom the first year. (I've had three Pink Alohas. The first two died in pots.) I thought the Kentucky Lucky shot was especially good. I'm glad you think so too. I may enter that one in the AHS contest. Debra

I really like all yhe green on that 1st seedling. Wheel of Time has such an unusual color I think. I like Last Chance for Romance, such a pretty pink. Looks like they are lined up like can-can dancers.

I love that white seedling! I think the green defines it. Both the Cowgirl Spurs and the White Tooth seedling look promising-what are your thougts on them? How nice to have clumps this time of year like that one on Last Chance for Romance.

The first seedling I like alot. A good one with the green throat. Next one that stands out is the Cowgirl one. Last Chance For Romance looks like it does really well for you.Still several buds yet to open.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on the near white seedling. I look forward to seeing how that one does next year.

Kate - The Cowgirl Spurs seedling does look promising. With our weather conditions this year, it doesn't have much of a plant under it. We'll see how it does in future years. I have around 10 seedlings from the White Tooth X Skater cross. While this one does have the largest bloom and the widest edge, it's not one of my top favorites in the group. It's hard to evaluate the seedlings this year or make selections because the lack of rain caused lower bud counts and branching.

Nancy - I agree that the Last Chance for Romance flowers were lined up like can-can dancers. Wheel of Time does have a lot of colors in it.

Julia - Last Chance for Romance just started blooming last week. It has 15 scapes and lots of buds, so it should be blooming for most of August.

Kay - Thanks for the comments on the seedlings!

Maryl - Thanks for your comments. I thought the color on Zuzu's Treasure was especially good for this time of year. Lightning Round does have a pretty edge.

I like the white midrib on Last Chance for Romance. Did you get my Houzz message?

Your seedlings are my picks for today. The white seedling is very pretty with all that green in the throat. The third seedling is my other favorite. I like the eye, the color on the sepals and the shape of the bloom. Last Chance for Romance is making a pretty clump.

Mantis - I can no longer send messages on the Houzz Messenger. I can read the messages, but I cannot type a reply. It freezes on me. This started in July. Miss Demeanor is short some years, but it is because of grub predation. I'm sure it would be a good grower for you. In the future if you need to message me, try NGA.

My easy favorite is the first white seedling with the green throat and A nice greenish edge. It would be a nice addition to any garden……hope it continues to do well for you.

Debra,

I really love the first one, (Natalie Antoinette X Symphony of Praise) X Big Pink !!!!

What a great color and I too love how the green spills out!! I'm not big on toothy daylilies, but this one is a winner!

Last Chance for Romance looks great, nice clump shot. And Zuzu looks nice as ever.

Thanks Brad and Sherry for the comments on the first seedling! I look forward to seeing it bloom in a year with more rain and lower temps.
