Yes, I have. See how it does as the day wears on. See through petals means thin substance so it may look really ragged after noon time. But then again, it may not.

So far it did well throughout the day, but maybe I'll move it next year to se how it does in a hotter part of the yard.

Getting ready to plant the five seeds that were taken from the cross of Mister Butters and Mint Octopus--fingers crossed that something good comes from this.

Mister Butters and Mint Octopus - those two names of parents alone should create something interesting! Butters and Octopus ... like Buttered Octopus? Whistling Hilarious! Hilarious!

I happen to like both cultivars, so I do think you will get something very nice from this cross! Crossing Fingers!

I had 3 seedlings re-blooming today:

CCC67 - Trahlyta x unknown. Bloom was down in the compact foliage. This always happens on the reblooms:

ZZZ31 - Cherry Custard Cheesecake x Palace Garden Beauty. This one is always a perfect bloom:

CCC03 - Laughing Clown x Instant Graffiti. This is the first bloom on 2nd round of reblooms. This plant has bloomed and rested 3 times so far this season:

It sure is, I agree I think I need to try and germinate some Cherry Custard Cheesecake seeds, if I have any left that is.

Fred - I really like your mini seedling! Love the large eye on it and the colors! How's the bud count?

Thank you Valerie and Cindy!

Cindy - I hope you do have some seeds left. Do you still have both cultivars (parents) of this cross?

I got home today from work at 3pm, during a rare mid July rain. I went to take a quick glance at my seedlings, and saw one that I already liked, had fared very well in the rain. If you inlarge the first picture, you will see the beaded water drops on it, but it still looks great. I already liked this seedling, 36" scape, 6 1/2"-7" flower, but looks larger, petals are 3" wide, ok purple/red color, but the watermark is a cool color that I have no idea what to call. I included a few other seedling photo's taken at the same time, to show the difference in how they held up to the rain.

All are nice, Gale, but I agree, that first one is a stunner! I tip my hat to you.

Well, I did have two new bee pod seedlings to open this morning, don't know what the parents would be, but suspect 'My Path' was involved somewhere.

Nothing really stands out about them at the moment, the blooms are nice and clear, but not very large. Not fancy in any way, but still I did find the pink one drew my attention. So I suppose they will have to show me something: plant habit, rust resistance, bud count, something to make me want to keep them , or they will both get tossed.

Clarity of bloom color is a good trait to have, Larry, so even though the blooms aren't very fancy, I wouldn't be so quick to toss them. Observe them for a while on plant traits, but also think of daylilies with bigger blooms, fancier faces, better plant trait that you might have, that could benefit from clearer flowers. You could try a reciprocal cross and see which gives you the better offspring. (My guess is that fancy onto your seedling might give you the prettier, clearer flowers, but that's just a guess, and it might not give you the plant traits that you want.)

Fwiw, I like both of them, but agree that the pink is attention drawing. Most of the "pink" daylilies in my garden are either too pale/washed out, blotchy, or else are more of a coral than a true pink. So congratulations!

This evening four seeds of Beautiful Edgings X Unknown will be planted. There were fourteen seeds in this pod, but I am only going to plant the four largest and it's anybody's guess how they will turn out as to the pollen parent. We have found a sprout on one of the Katherine Caldwell X Unknown cross--there were four of these planted. There is a sprout on the Moon Over Monterey X Dragonfly Dawn cross.

I love everyone's seedlings. Someday I hope to have some of my own to share (I certainly have a lot of seeds to collect this year Whistling )

I have a quick question though...when reporting parentage, is it generally agreed upon that the pod parent is reported first then the pollen parent? For example, if I reported a God Save the Queen x Peacock Candy seedling it would be assumed that God Save the Queen is the pod parent and Peacock Candy is the pollen parent?
