I like having a few darks together, with the right setting in the garden they add a nice focal point..

Thank you, Witch Hollow has been a favorite with garden visitors too.
Nice grouping Lyle, what is the front one with the white edge?
Midnight in Memphis, beautiful! Love the name too.

Debra, love that seedling. So you have stats on it?

Well I am on vacation, so won't be able to sit down t my desktop until I return. Wish I had time to post some photos before I left, but you know how all of that stuff works - best laid plans and all that

Debra, nice group. The seedling looks like a keeper, nice color.

Char, the daylily in the photo front with the white edge is COSMIC SENSATION...good parent.

COSMIC SENSATION X TALLADEGA - these seedling photos are of poor quality, and only used to show the results of a cross for darks.

Jan - I don't have stats on the seedling because they varied so widely from its first bloom in fall 2012 (extreme heat and drought) to spring 2013. The scapes were tall - 32 inches - with 5-way branching and 22 buds during the first bloom, and 24 inches tall with 3-way branching during the second bloom. This year should give me a better idea of what the plant can do. Blooms are right around 6 inches.

Lyle - My seedling comes from a Cosmic Sensation cross too. Your seedlings are very pretty

Thanks Lyle, I checked it out in the database. Most of the Salters plants do fine for me, I'll have to add it to the every growing want list. There are some really nice kids registered from it.

Debra, your seedling is really pretty!
