It is blooming now but I can't go check on age changes because I just got back to Toronto and my garden is 3 hours away. What about temperature changes? It's been cooler than normal here and very wet. Here's a picture from last year. Looks like it's more creamy in the middle. Lots of heat and sun last year.

Well according to the Iowa region it isn't Rosy Cheeks. Here's links to their pages for Rosy Cheeks and Iowa Rose.

Nah, that's Iowa Rose ~ far superior to Rosy Cheeks, beauty-wise.
Where are we going, and why am I in this hand-basket?

Yep, I cast my vote for Iowa Rose now.

Henry's Surprise is a weird one with unusual genetics. I forget exactly what but from time to time I see it discussed on other forums.

Mags, you must have some good daylily parents. I did a few pollinations on some older varieties. Pods forming on most. Daylilies are sooo much easier than lilies from seeds. Love your Asiatic babies too. Who is the mommy and daddy?

It was seed I bought three years ago, I think from the Lily Auction for the daylily. They are waaaaay easier to start and grow. Liliums are fussier and take more time. I started a whole bunch 3 years ago and haven't done any since.

Still, lilums have my heart. The cross on both of those is Calendar Girl and Pink Cream. Can you see it now? There's a his and a hers. Hilarious!

I thought they were such adorable babies and totally look like mom and dad. The Pink Creamish one looks like it could look like a side facing Pink Cream. How cute would that be?

Okay...I am way too excited. I am truly honored to work with such wonderful material.

I like those outfacing and downfacing lilies. They don't get spoiled from pollen dropping on the petals.

In the last years Anthony have snet me pollen from some of his lilies. That have given me a great opportunity to do crosses with lilies that I don't grow. The first seedling from such cross are this one. It's a cross between yellow tigerlily and Lowana.
