Comments (14)Val, Actually that first seedling is a MONET'S GARDEN kid. With the apricot color and cherry red eye it does look like it could be from a cross where TO GOD BE THE GLORY was one of the parents. That seedling's been firing off scape after scape most of the bloom season, with lots of buds and a desent scape too. I did cross this seedling with TO GOD BE THE GLORY, MOMENT IN THE SUN, PAULA NETTLES, MIKE THOMPSON and also one of it's full sibs this year. It'll be fun to see what those crosses produce.

Comments (12)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.

Comments (8)Thanks for the comments everyone! Kate - I do think #2 is a good looking seedling, and I'm glad to know it reblooms. It's starting out with only 7 buds, but bud counts this year are no indicator of future performance. I've got some rabbits here too, but they mostly seem to be nibbling on emerging new baby fans. Julia - I had the fewest seed pods I've ever collected, and most of them had only two or three seeds. The heat and lack of rain kept them from developing more. It was very disappointing not to be able to hybridize with the many new plants I've bought in the past three years since I bought them expressly for hybridizing reasons. Most of the seed crosses that did make it were done with extra early patterned daylilies. Mantis - I've never used Liquid Fence. The best thing I've tried is a product call Deer Out, which I bought online. It has an oil in it that causes the product to stay on through several rains. But I was out of that and had a little Repels All left in a bottle. The smell of it is horrible -intense garlic mixed with mint. It almost keeps ME out of the garden. Repels All really works well on keeping rabbits and groundhogs away from my plants, and the deer for the time it stays on. Sherry - I really like #4. The bloom has a lot going in with it. I like the edge, the patterned sepals, the little darts that come out of the throat into the eye, the colors and the shape. I've got a lot of pretty seedlings from the cross of White Tooth and Skater. I hope at least a couple of them will develop better bud counts next year. #4 is among my top four favorites out of 11 siblings. Kay - Both of the seedlings you like rebloom, so that makes them winners in my book. Brad - Last Chance for Romance is a great one for the late season. I'm thinking about eliminating some other "late" cultivars that aren't really late bloomers in my garden. I've already moved one out. Debra...See Morelilykate7a
