Love them, Becky!

At least it was not raining this morning, but it was very cool so many of the blooms were not opened when I went down to take photos. Only this one seedling stood out this morning.
ROSE EMILY x UNK

I really like that one, Larry. Looks like Howdy with an even prettier red color.

So pretty, Larry!

Liliesmaniac said:So beautiful, Dave. I like the sdlg x Pirates Patch.

Me too. It looks a bit like my new cannot-have beau "Purple Leopard"
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Purple Leopard')

SSE16-08, Sweet Dixie x Triple Cherries Seedling opened this morning. Edit to add, Third year bloom.

Larry, Tee, Dave, and Stan - Loving the colors, shapes, and styles of blooms you are sharing! I have to confess .... the reds literally jump out at me! But those yellows, pinks, and peach colored blooms are very attractive too!

I got very little rain last night. I think the clouds just spit at my yard.

These are the seedling blooms today. Some I posted previous blooms, but at least one of these is a new bloom:
New bloom for this year, but this is one of only two plants that are still surviving here in my garden. I have to laugh ... it's 1 fan. Stayed 1 fan since it started growing from seed in 2014. The seed came from Mike ( @Hazelcrestmikeb ) years ago. I am truly amazed that a one fan daylily can last that many years without dying off like all other before and since it was sowed.
This is Buddy Hudson x unknown:


This one is another bloom. I've shared others prior on this thread. I believe the marker is wrong, so I don't know what cross created this one, but I am drawn to this flower. The color reminds me of one I lost several years ago, but this bloom is bigger:
NNN49:


Another bloom of UUU12, but I am not sure about it's parentage label Triple Trinity x The One Ring. What do you think? Possible? I am almost leaning to another cross with Dragonfly Dawn. But I don't know. A couple years ago when these were started on my window sill in the Fall, my dear ornery cat knock the entire plastic container I had all the cups in onto the floor. It really mixed the seedlings up.:


And the second bloom on UUU16 Dragonfly Dawn x Unknown. Just as lovely as the first bloom I posted yesterday:

All nice flowers, Becky

loving all the seedlings being shown. Betty's and Regina's patterns with blue are exciting!
Looks like a little light relief on your Whooperie X Pleated Perfection kid, Larry.
Dave's purple with white edge sepals is different, pretty.

Becky, the Buddy Hudson X unk is a wow. So sad and aggravating when sdlgs with a gorgeous bloom lack something with plant, no increase is not good, but it has survived Your question on the other sdlg as to cross....one cross is dip, the other tet. Is the sdlg dip or tet? That should at least narrow down your possible crosses in the tipped over tray.

Becky, I really love your UUU16 Dragonfly Dawn x Unknown seedling! And Larry, your ROSE EMILY x UNK looks wonderful!

Two new FFE's today, and unfortunately I had to pick both of them for pollen because it's in the upper 90's today.

DRAGONFLY DAWN x BITES LIKE A THOUSAND TEETH? I suspect this parentage isn't correct. DRAGONFLY DAWN as the pod parent looks like it could be correct, but there's really no hint of teeth in this patterned bloom, and BITES LIKE... is one of the toothiest around. But I really like it, so I'm changing it to DRAGONFLY DAWN x UNKNOWN...



If anyone thinks the listed parentage could be correct, please let me know...


FROG'S EYE x BLUE ON BLUE - This one is really a BIG flower -- I measured it at 10.5", and both parents are 8.5" or less. It's pretty quirky and interesting, so I have to keep it at least for now.

with everyone! The seedlings this year are gorgeous.

Thanks all! I can't take credit for the UUU16. I did not do the pollinating, but I am delighted to have the honor of growing it. It's in a container, so hopefully it will last more years than those in the ground. Nematodes, ya know ...

Char - That Buddy Hudson is in the ground. I think it has not multiplied because it struggles to survive. In ideal soil and growing conditions, it would probably thrive and be just amazing. The fact that after 6-7 years it is still alive, that says a lot here in my root knot nematode infested and hot zone area. It doesn't get shade either in summer. I am always amazed every year when it sends up a scape and blooms!

Betty - DRAGONFLY DAWN x BITES LIKE A THOUSAND TEETH is beautiful! It could be the correct cross. Sometimes it takes a year or longer for teeth to show up. I will say though that DD genetics tend to dominate many of the crosses. I have grown numerous crosses of DD and I can always tell when they bloom that they have a DD parent. The genetics are unmistakable! DD is my absolute favorite parent plant for seedlings, but it doesn't like my climate and soil. So all the beautiful seedlings that I have grown don't last more than 3 years max. Usually only 2 years. I have also noticed that the bud count is often low per scape here. How many buds are you getting on your scapes of DD parent seedlings? Mine are usually 5 or less.

Thanks Becky! I'll keep that notation for the next year or so that it could be the correct cross - just in case... Re the number of buds, I haven't even counted yet -- probably not many, as most of my scapes don't end up with that many buds, probably due to our heat or something.

Nice seedlings everyone. As Larry says the rain is over for a few days.
Little ones, first blooms

over the first one Fred. The second is nice too.
