First one is a cheat, one of this pair of blooms was open yesterday.
But today this second one makes LFO:

Amazing to see you still have seedlings blooming! Hoping there's no freeze and you can keep them coming Crossing Fingers!

Stealth Stella is still blooming now that it's November, but I'm not going to take another picture of a little yellow flower peeping out from the mass of dead brown foliage.

This first-year seedling bloomed in April and May, and now once again, today.

Pretty seedling, Orion!
Does anyone know how to stop spending money on flowers?

This first year seedling was scaping as it was colder so I brought the whole thing indoors to speed it up. Finally bloomed, and seems stripey as hoped for Crossing Fingers! (the prior 3 siblings were not Grumbling ).

Emerald Starburst x Yankee Pinstripes, 2021 seedling 4. (ESXYP214), FFE:

Yes, it is a poly nodding
This weekend I have to get it outdoors before winter sets in. It will have to go in a planter, unfortunately.

Orion, I like your seedling better than Yankee Pinstripes. Is that sacrilegious?

Thank You!
Well, we will have to wait to see what it looks like in real life outdoors, 2023. Crossing Fingers!

YP pictures show a huge variation in styles of bloom, when you look at them all. Some are very nice.
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Yankee Pinstripes')

But yeah, I was hoping for YP with a bigger greener throat. These are from purchased LA seeds in Nov 2021 (seller: Mthrnatur). Something like the C137-1 from Regina (scflowers) here, where she used Emerald Starburst x Pink Stripes:

Until she puts that impossibly gorgeous one up for sale, this one might become a fallback for me (if it survives winter).

I also have 1 remaining unbloomed seedling from that batch.

Thumbs up Oh that one looks really good Orion! Stripes and a large green throat. So much potential there for it to improve when it blooms during normal bloom season. Hope that last one is stripey too!
