The only one i had.

A red seedling on a sunny day after 4:00pm: I see I need to reset my clock in the camera. The plant does get some shade from my large oak trees. I think I picked the perfect spot for hybridizing, if the oak roots don't take over my beds.

I came home last Monday after a day spent with my MIL to find my first seedling bloom ever from a cross that I did myself. This was from the summer of 2017. I've been waiting that long. The cross is Lavender Curls x Shelby.

There was no scape, just a skinny stem with a small bloom on it, almost sitting on the soil. I picked it, put it in a cup with water, and went to get my phone to take a picture. That was when I saw that there was a snake in my wall register. I get snakes in my house all the time, but I thought I had all the holes filled with that expanding stuff.

Every time I walked past that bloom, trying to deal with the snake, I thought, "I'll get a pic of you in the morning." That's how rattled I was! The next morning, I looked at that shriveled little mess! Oh, that's right, it's a DAYlily!

Not sure if it'll make it. Fans have disappeared and only thing left is the scape. Somehow, I didn't even notice until the blooms showed.

These from the 2016 planting:


Katherine Caldwell/Dragonfly Dawn Seedling #1--I kept this one because Fred liked it. He may not like the fact that the flower is so big, the scape can't support it. I have to stake it .


Dragonfly Dawn/Thundercat #5--this one is certainly showy but the scape is short.

I have had a few others in this group bloom but I won't show them, they will be gone by the end of this season or sooner.

@Avedon,
In my garden there is not such thing as a bloom to big for the scape, I only have scapes that are not strong enough for the blooms.

These are the ones for today. Wished rain didnt spot dark colors. Yellows do fine with rain.

Nice seedlings everyone.

HB34-17 LILLIAN'S RAINBOW AT DAWN X (WILD DREAMS X COSMIC AFTERSHOCK) 5"

Love that seedling, Fred!

Oh my, very nice Fred. Love that color.

Piaffe/Katherine Caldwell--unless something drastic happens, this one will be a keeper. The color is not right, it is very much more coral.


Katherine Caldwell/Dragonfly Dawn No. 7. This one has put up two new scapes, so now there are four.

Both of these are beginning their third years in the garden.

Very pretty, Avedon. Keepers for sure.

All beauties

My Heart Belongs To Daddy/? Seedling No. 1----this seedling has a rather unusual color, looks tan to me. I like it, but the scape is short. If the scape were taller, than this one might have a chance of staying.



My Heart Belongs To Daddy/? Seedling No. 2---just a big yellow, probably won't make the cut.

Recent seedlings with faces I like
S17-21 4" NOID x 'Key To Treasures'' several siblings that have yet to bloom this year

Very nice, Dave!

Avedon - You have some nice ones! I really like that pink/coral out of Piaffe and Katherine Caldwell!
