Yellow Titan has had a poly every day this last week in the heat wave. Here it is peeking around the shed today.

Nice!

I just found this thread, beautiful polys everyone.

I have a poly seedling, FFE, Black Eye X noid.

Margaret, what a beautiful seedling!

I have a couple that are 'supposed' to poly, and never had - but, this FFO did today

Good Girls Do

Margaret, that seedling is stunning!!! And to be a poly on it's FFE is awesome!

Jan, that bloom is gorgeous!!! I really love the colors!

Thank you Jan and Natalie.

I agree, Jan, your bloom is gorgeous.

Here's Northwind Drifter from yesterday

Seedling from today, Happy Returns X Noid

Sorry, but I have to ask... what is FFE? I see FFO in the AHS dictionary and know what that is, but FFE puzzles me. Thanks!

Im guessing it means first flower ever, but thats just a guess, since its a seedling.

Yes FFE on a seedling, means first flower ever.

Margaret, that one is stunning too!! It's your lucky year!

Thank you Natalie. I have been pleased with the seedlings so far, considering when I hybridized them I was new to daylilies, didn't have many plants to work with and it was mostly for fun.

I think even if your not a serious hybridizer it's a great way to get new, interesting plants for your garden.

I couldn't agree more Margaret! Most of my first attempts were with pretty old and basic daylilies, and I was thrilled to be having all that fun! I just wanted to see what happened. I have better plants now, so it should be even more exciting next year when I get back into it! I love polys so much and would be thrilled if I got seedlings that were polys most of the time! Doubles would also be great, but I'll be happy with anything that isn't too ugly!

I use FFE for first flower ever.

And I enjoy seedlings - and playing with hybridizing. My problem is having the patience they require

Jan, I think when you live in climates such as mine, you need patience even when you purchase fans, I have a few that I bought as fans and have yet to see a bloom, some are 3 years old, so actually the seedling bloomed before them, cause there is no sign of a scape so far!!

Thanks for the explanation on the FFE. That makes perfect sense and I think that makes Margaret's seedling even more special because it is so well formed and what a beauty!

Thank you.
