Greg, I agree that pictures rarely show the true beauty of a bloom. Stone Palace Merrymaker is a beauty! And that bi-color seeding of yours is awesome! (Angie Alabama X ((Flying Carpet x Twilight in Tangiers) x David Kirchhoff))). I love bicolors!

Betty, your seedling is stunning! What a great cross:) It looks sweet as candy I tip my hat to you.

I love Dr. Strangelove, but it is hard to find except at a premium price. Interesting habit it sometimes throws scapes with completely lavender blooms which will continue to bloom that way, so the suggestion is to make sure the grower has seen the fans bloom that you are purchasing.


Robinjoy, I have heard about Dr. Strangelove reverting back to its lavender color on some scapes. I did not get to see the blooms on my plant when I bought it, but so far all the fans have fortunately bloomed striped flowers. I guess it is important to get this plant as a double fan when purchased. If one of the fan reverts to its solid lavender color, the other one may still produce striped flowers.

David M, love the ruffles on that Ellison seedling and Wild Cherry Wine.\

Greg, gorgeous seedlings! I really like this one, ((Thelma Douglas x Gaudeamus) X ((Annette's Magic x Wonder of it All) x Lemon Fringed Pastel))~!

Pat, MORNING CHEERFULNESS and RASPBERRY WINTER are my favorites. They are super nice pinks!

Betty, your beautiful pics are such enablers! Last year, I added RMS, GO, and IM due seeing your pics of them. I may add Purple Ninja this year! I agree with you about Lilian's Ivory Tower. It is a perfect white daylily!

Nice collection of pretty faces, Mike! Roman Cohort seems to have it all. I remember you posting it over the summer and it even reblooms up here if I remember from your posts, so its more than just a pretty face.

Pat - What a nice group of daylilies you moved on. They did have pretty faces!

Betty - I like all the ones you posted, but that seedling may be the prettiest. As you know, pinks are my favorites. I hope that one does well for you. The other one I was excited to see was Watermelon Summer. I have that one coming this Spring, and if it looks like yours I'll be jubilant.

Mike - It's great to see your photo of Superstitious. I love the name, and I've been tempted to add that one, but photos vary so much I can't tell what color it really is. I grow and love Tranquil Waters and Roman Cohort here too!

When did NGA start posting full size pics instead of thumbnails? I like the change!

After looking around in our garden these are the prettiest faces but not the best performers.
No pics
Max Factor, Flash of Mischief, Coachs Magic Man, Luck Be a Lady, Duke Ellington, Duke of Gascone. I am sure there is more. Will add to this i know.

Debra in regards to Superstitious, I have a better picture on my Facebook cover photo. I have seen other pictures of it from abroad that does not look nowhere as good as mine. May have something to do with care. The other picture on Facebook is Tranquil Waters.
I am also excited about Watermelon Summer coming this spring from Paul Lewis

Greg thanks for posting the picture of the seedling from seeds you bought from me, it's rare that I get to see the results.

Thanks again

Debra, I think your WATERMELON SUMMER blooms will look fantastic -- can't wait to see it! The edges of my daylilies seem to usually be only about half of what people who live in more humid climates get, so I'm expecting great things from your WS... Thumbs up

Mike, how did you get those really big photos? They're fabulous - and such beautiful blooms!

About 6 years ago I decided to start a toothy line to go with my my polychrome goal.
Maiden blooms from last summer, toothy and a few polychrome, 2020 as a year sucked, but I think I had my best year ever for keepers
I made the cross for all the seedlings but one, I-731.
I have listed seeds on the auction for most of the kids pictured, some plants set several pods, some only a few to none.

My favorite was I-734 (F-38 (Vampire Bat x Wild Hair x Buddy's Vampire Lady), but it may be because the photo reminds me of a warm summer day and I'm cold after shoveling for an hour and a half this morning with more to go during my lunch hour. Smiling

I-495! Also funny to me because that is the name of a big road that circles Boston and frequently has bad traffic...

Glitter Gal --nowhere close to the 41-45 bud count, but such a captivating late bloomer. Always a nice way to close things out.
