Sue, your lates are starting already? I'm still waiting for pretty much any seedlings to get the season started! Had 1 lonely sdlg blooming today and thousands of green buds stubbornly refusing to open....

This years daylily season is not normal, it started with delay and usually the lates start here around mid July, this year many flower earlier and some ee are still flowering
At the moment the seedlings beds with the late tets are starting while in the very late dip beds there are only a few flowers open (they have parents that start in August).

Very white late seedling (one parent is Sagarmatha - not my cross):


Late and very fragrant older seedling (Final Touch x Suzy Cream Cheese, one of my first crosses), high scapes large flowers, just yellow but makes a great impact in the garden setting:

Thank you so much for your generous offer, Karen! I am thrilled.

Thanks everyone.

Another nice one Kenny.

Sue, your yellow seedling is nice. I think yellow is under appreciated as a color, seen as being overly pedestrian in the vast array of colors and styles that Hems have, causing some cultivars not to receive the praise they're due.

You maybe right.
I'm not a fan of yellow ones and this seedling is only kept for sentimental reasons. Accidentally this one was planted in a more dark space in front of a hedge where it now brightens up the whole szene. I have several yellow late and very late registered plants here but no one is comparable in flower size and performance here in my garden setting. Maybe I should count the buds and evaluate this seedling?
It is parent plant for some quite good late one.

I'm interested in breeding for lates Sue. The latest blooms are predominately yellow for some reason. I like that color but it needs something to go with it

Another mystery cross- could be Wolverine x SC Chomp Chomp (best guess)
The other possibilities don't involve parents as toothy as this seedling.
Three total- this one is the toothiest.


Really tall, sturdy scape, (around 4') branching and bud count pretty darn good for a first year bloomer.
Another one that I'm trying to figure out- seedling or NOID. No clue what this cross could be. 99.9% sure it's a seedling as I dug out all of the seedlings I could save on one day and didn't havea chance to mix them up with registered daylilies. Checked my lists anyways, nothing matches and I can't imagine that I would have bought this.

Still can't upload more than 2 pix. Even tried reducing image size. Ideas, folks? What could I be doing wrong??

So, it's iPhone to the uploading rescue…
Sun Bear x Heavenly Velociraptor









Sun Bear x Coral Majority
I had a long cross of 50 seedlings, didn't have the time to take all of them, so this was a nice surprise.


More unknown. Siblings- terrible bud counts.




Dragon Seeker x Ocean Spirit
Siblings haven't bloomed yet- any day though.

Linda Sierra seedlings










(Pure and Simple x Dan Trimmer Seedling) x Bass Gibson (FFE)



David

OK, I waited for all the siblings to have bloomed and now can show them together.
Along Came Amanda x Gaudy Grasshopper. Fall 2020 germinated.
ACAXGG201 (I posted this one before, but just to compare here it is again, 4-4.5" flower, 36" scape):


ACAXGG202 FFE (6" OK flower, a bit plain-looking, 48" scape):


ACAXGG203 FFE (3.5" small flower, high-contrast sharply defined eye, interesting watermark on sepals):


ACAXGG204 FFE (similar to first one, eye a bit more subtle, but not recurved so appears bigger):


I can definitely get rid of the last one. Keeping the first one.
Probably keeping the second one to breed for tall daylilies.
Third one, not sure. Will keep for now. I do not hate it, but it is small.

As I've said before. The first one is definitely a keeper Orion.



Second rebloom flower on my lonely rebloomer. Looks pretty good when it opens properly. Hopefully the canoeing will lessen in its second year, but I'm not betting on it.

Orion, I like your last one- the green throat contrasts great with the pink.

3Will- that's a rich red! Very pretty : )

Two seedlings from yesterday that are getting better every year:

L'Orangerie De Montfort x Gryphon Stanley Saxton
I have several seedlings out of this cross - one is outstanding in color (very very intense - as far as I know there is Primal Scream somewhere in the pedigree), height, flower size and bud count - and it flowers quite late despite the midseason flowering parents:







This one is loaded with buds, starts late and has a quite nice ruffling - I don't like all this peach and yellow lates but this could maybe be good enough to register it:

Kentucky Lucky x Blown Away

Very pretty seedlings everyone!
Dave, the first is nice, a pretty one for sure.
Will, your rebloom is fabulous, love the intense color.

Agree Sue, the orange has wonderful depth and saturation. Great color! Plant is pretty darn nice too.

Orion, #1 & #3. First is gorgeous. Third is cute and could improve with more time, as a small if that is a direction you want to go it has potential. I really really like #1.

Seedlings today, still have more that haven't bloomed yet.

Court Magician X unknown



I forget this cross lol



Unknown



My Friend Mary Jane seedling I think the pollen parent is Venus flytrap, So many crosses of My Friend Mary Jane crosses have her pattern. This bloom has so many different looks at different times.


Charming Heart X Lavender Lattice. Looks darker than the pic, gorgeous deep purple.


Violet Becomes You x Buffalo Thunder




Mary Lena x Assouira


Baltimore Oriole seedling


My Friend Mary Jane x Venus Flytrap
This one shows small white teeth in hot weather. We only had a few got days this summer, nothing consistent.


Another Baltimore Oriole seedling




Spider Fingers seedling




Supernatural x Cobalt Rings





Violet Becomes you x Buffalo thunder




My heart belongs to daddy x red viper




Rocket Man x. Bali watercolor


Oklahoma sand burr x Vampire Fish



Vampire Fish x Eyed Alligator




Glass Bead Game x Toopher #1


Glass Bead Game x Toopher #2

Unknown x Unknown [dip]

Not much to look at but a good garden plant underneath: 22 buds @ FFO, 3-4 way branching, good fan production...13 scapes this year, fertile both ways. Likes MI dirt a lot more than my TX sand

A few brand new lovelies, but also a couple older, previously bloomed seedlings that I'm excited to see.

Peggy Jeffcoat x Double Magician.


This one looks like a spider form maybe? Need to measure…
Red Star of Krypton x Dances with Zombies


I'll need to dig a bit for the tag on this one. don't want to disturb the plant too much until fall.


Bass Gibson x Elvira's kiss


This mystery seedling has been blooming consistently for years. After packaging my crosses one season, I found this one seed left behind, so instead of tossing it, I labeled "mystery seed cross".

Beautiful seedlings! 😍 the mystery cross.

Agreed! Love the toothy ones : )
