Besides that the garden has been taking care of it's self for the most part this year.
I really like the first one and fifth one. The second one and last one are really nice too! That last one looks like it has a bunch of buds. They all look like they will be really good garden daylilies! When would these seeds have been planted? The seedlings that are first blooms for me this year were planted in the late summer/early fall of 2016. Just wondering if that was normal.
Most of these where planted in 2016 some in fall 2015. I'm going through all my older seedlings and tossing out all that haven't lived up to our expectations. My wife Krystal hates when I dig up a daylily. She wants to keep them all but the more new blooms she sees the more I think she understands why I've been culling some. Over the next few years we should have some really nice seedlings come from our breeding program and from seeds that I purchased or that where shared with me. 
wasted the pollen and the pod parent. Right now I just dabble and tell myself use the best daylily available. No specific goal. When you will have to cull what is your bud count for keeping? And what other statistics do you use?
That is a bummer about Blue Jay Tapestry. I was anxiously awaiting your results. I have a lot of selfs that I would like to put a kind of solid eye on, and I thought that would be a nice one to use. I would say do not give up. This was a strange year. I have a daylily that I have been using because I like the color to see if I could get something similar with better stats. Last year it was pod and pollen fertile, no problem. This year I concentrated on using it, nothing either way. I do not even think they started and aborted. So things can change from year to year. I do not know why that happens but, maybe try one more year. Results could be different. 
. Does not seem to work here. Then I said Stamile and looked at its parents which are both evergreens. 
What is that about? Don't understand it, not sure if I could use it or will I be causing myself problems. I like that idea of white, too.
Last night I spent the whole time cleaning the evaporator coil. Internet comments were it took like 12 hours. They were not kidding. It took me an hour and a half, maybe two hours just to unscrew its door. Crappy rusted hex screws, without the screwdriver inset. 3 or 4 simply would not budge. My daughter and I took turns trying. After a half hour of searching on the internet, I found a hint to heat the metal screws to loosen. It said take a blow torch to it, cause I have one of those. Then I thought I have one of those long lighters for candles. I heated them for a little bit and they came right off. What a blessing. Actual coils a little bit grimmy and dirty. Everytime I came to a problem I had stop and look for a solution. Have it back together not really screwed together. I need to go buy new hex screws with a screwdriver top. I am not going to use those other ones. Say a prayer for me that our AC holds, next step would be a service call 
I think I may send her to Home Depot and go to bed.
for your prayers. I think the AC just can not keep up with how hot it is. I clean the condenser coils outside regularly because of all the cottonwood trees. Can be weekly when the trees are seeding. So I cleaned them again real good, changed batteries on the thermostat 'cause it seems like it had been a couple of years, changed filters which I do regularly. I even vacuum the filters in between changes. I have a very big cold air return that is 50 percent filters. I actually designed it that way because mobile homes can lack air flow. Cleaned on the drain-out and the evaporator coil. I timed it and its cooling cycle was about 15 minutes which is ok. I think the last time we had such an extended heat wave was 7 years ago, so the unit was much newer. I have it set at 82 now.
