Have anyone seen NUDE YOGA? Isn't that the oddest name. I think HOT YOGA would be a good name for a red one.

Yes, I got a catalog from Critonic Gardens and it is one of their intros this year. It's a pretty odd looking flower.

I do like the look of Dottie Warrell's Break Dance. It almost looks like an applique. Is it just the appearance, or has anyone seen applique throats on diploids ? I do have a few Mahieu's. Gates of Morning and Gates of Pearl. I don't have any pictures though. As for Curt Hanson's Nude Yoga, I have seen it blooming in a clump. It is certainly a standout, tall with tremendous branching and blooms. One you can't miss in the garden. I have heard all kinds of comments from people. I find the new forms like this pretty exciting. Who knows where one can go. As for the name, my take was that of a flesh , pink color moving in different poses.

Unusual Forms are my favorite daylily shapes. They look good from the front, sides and back.

They require some conformance to rules just as the spiders do. I hope that Jules shares them here. The AHS pages have them in the mean time. Not just any thin daylily is a spider nor a UF!

Love Margo's, Jim's, Bob Schwarz's, Dottie Warrel's stuff. Mine too! <big grin>

Bobbie, I have plans to list the rules with examples for spideries, doubles, sculpted etc...

Life has gotten away from me in the last few weeks. I have not had much time to devote to building the cubit. Trying to get some health issues in order so I know where I stand before going into vocational rehab to try to be trained for a new job, since I am no longer working. If they cannot come up with anything for me, I will probably apply for disability. Figuring out all this stuff, and getting updated at all my doctors, getting records - whew, it's not easy!

David Kirchhoff was supposed to send me some examples for doubles, but I think I need to remind him!

Does anyone grow TUSK? Just wondering how fertile it is.

I really can't say for 100% but if James didn't keep it for his hybridizing then it probably is very pod difficult. He usually keeps any spider/Ufs that will set pods readily. On the Trimmer website it even says in the description "some pods"
With you being in a cooler climate it may set better than down this way. I'm sure the pollen is good though.

I received a single fan of Tusk from the LA a couple years ago. Came very close to loosing it (rot?) Tried several different things with it, nothing worked. Finally popped it into my Dip bed, where it has survived.

It is now a small single fan, still far from blooming stage - although I will admit that after this drought this summer, I had almost zero increase on any of my daylilies. So I am not sure I can "blame" it's lack of growth on anything except the weather.

I don't expect to see any bloom next year on it, but I am hoping for more normal growth if we have a more normal summer. Right now it is the size of the seedlings I planted this year.

On the other hand, it is still alive.... and it's not bothering anything where I have it planted, so I just baby it a bit, periodically hit it with daylily booster, and let it do it's thing. ~Jan

I have it, but it has been a slow grower for me. It bloomed the first year (2010) but then I moved it last year and it really struggled and didn't bloom, but now it seems happy with two nice big fans so I hope it will bloom next spring/summer. Here was a bloom from the one thin scape I had -- and I didn't get the wonderful deep colors here because of our heat, but I still loved it.



Edit: I just checked the description of TUSK on the Trimmers' Water Mill Gardens website, and the only mention of fertility is at the end where it says "some pods" with no mention of pollen.

I have limited time but i do cross some spiders and Uf...

ROLLING RAVEN one of the best pod setter i have

seedlings

Lyle, you always have the most FANTASTIC seedlings! Really gorgeous!

I just love that peachy quilly seedling.

I love spiders and UF's - wish I had lots more of them

Very nice seedlings! Well, I am thinking I am not running it any higher than what I have put in on the auction for TUSK. I love hearty plants. Great blooms are nice but I want the total pkg!

If only I had a small army of gardeners to work for me free of charge and happy, I'd have one of each. These are stunning daylilies. I love big spiders and UFOs. Lyle, your phots of Rolling Raven and Zero to Sixty are awesome!!!

Yes, they are lovely, I enjoy the dark and dramatic ones too! One of my favorites here is JUMPING JACK FLASH. My JJF looks darker than this pic tho.

Would love to see this thread continue, as I love the spidery/UF dls!

I think I replied to this thread before, so overlook me if I repeat myself.
I made more dip uf seed this year than I have in several years, I even built another bed just for dip seedlings. They are my favorite form also, but like a lot of us I got side tracked with the tet thing. I bought several new dip ufs last year to use this year, the first dips I had bought in several years.
This never has two blooms the same
could not set a seed on it but set a lot of seed with the pollen
BONIBRAE THE FREAK Mattie 2011

This was a gift, the pod parent was LILLIAN'S WOMANS TOUCH
Will set a seed pod almost every bloom
EMMA'S CURLS Falck 2012

EMMA'S scape

I got this to work with my near white ufs
It has six way branching and lots of buds
LOOPY LOO Shooter E 2012

This is not the best photo of OOPS but somehow
it's the only one I can find this morning. I did not
set a seed pod on it because it was so small when
It bloomed, I did use the pollen a lot.
Very rare and was hard to find.
OOPS ANOTHER MIRACLE Hendrick 2007

I did buy a couple more but they did not bloom.

I have some more spiders/ufo's that I haven't added, so here they are. I have a lot, its what I mainly hybridize.

Well, this is all but a few. I have a few that I really don't have good pics of. I told you I had a lot so I hope I haven't bored anyone.

I love BONIBRAE THE FREAK! For the first time ever I bought seeds last winter--including some with B. the Freak as pollen parent--because I had horrible seed set the previous summer. But lost most of my seedlings this summer due to the heat and drought. Still have a few that made it through the summer but not many--so sad..... Anyway, here are a few of the spiders/UFs that have been good parents for me.

None of these are new varieties and I do try to use pollen from a newer daylily. And, I'm finally starting to use some of my own seedlings as parents, which is kind of exciting!
