Rollercoaster Rush:


You can see the ruffles on this cultivar .... which actually look like teeth ..... this is where Gerry's seedling bloom gets those big ruffles (molar teeth)! A very nice cross, indeed!

Rebloomers ;
Born to be wild x Can't stop

Emerald starburst baby

Anna - Beautiful seedling blooms. I saw Born to be Wild genetics in your first one before I even read the cross.

Anna,
Love the colors on the Emerald Starburst kid! Just beautiful!!!

Do you know the other parent of the cross?

Regina , the other parent is Shasta Blue butterfly , bought on lily Auction 2 yrs ago

@lechat1 : My youngest daughter prefers the Born to be wild x Can't stop bloom and I find your Emerald Starburst baby absolutely ...My million-daollar question: Is it fragrant? I might cry if you say no... Or I'll have to breed for something close AND fragrant... Oh, I'm gonna get into so much damn trouble with daylilies...

@beckygardener : Thank you for posting! It was my mistake- I got the Rollercoaster and managed to type in Russ instead of Rush... twice lol... DOH!
Another awesome member helped me via tree mail also

to everyone who takes the time to LEARN and TEACH!

Diana it's easy to go broke with this addiction luckily we have a few dealers on the classified who give us our fix at a much lower price than retailers

@ediblelandscapingsc : That might be my saving grace!

The 'Emerald Starbust' seedling is beautiful, Anna.

I had maiden bloom on another seedling today, however, apparently our nights have gotten cold enough now that nothing has opened well these past few days.

If anyone is interested DND is hosting another seed swap this November for more info check out http://garden.org/thread/go/56...

My seedlings are starting to flower. I have a problem with some of them toppling - becoming disconnected from their roots. This one I staked to try and get it through to blooming but last night the scape must have snapped. I continued the scape in sugar and water today.

These are taken by flash tonight. The colour is about right - a muddy orangey red. Lol.



Parents VOLARIS X OLD TANGIERS. This is the first of my seedlings to flower where I actually did the pollinating and not a bee. Not a glorious start. This one took 6 months from germination to flowering



PS Added. I was all ready for BORN TO BE WILD genes to come shining through. For them, I bought VOLARIS. Sniff.

Wow, that is fast - only 6 months from germination to flowering! It has a very nice coppery color!

What are you feeding that thing

Becky - I really like your pedigree chart. What program are you using to make the charts?

Debra - Thank you! I actually wrote an article here on ATP about making those pedigree charts: http://garden.org/ideas/view/b...

Nice one! @Gleni

It might look better in the afternoon.
