I agree Fred I'm still building my landscape, not hybridizing, so nothing goes to the compost pile until it just won't grow! Can't see any of yours making it there in my yard Whistling Whistling Whistling

I do sell some on the lily auction each year in late summer after I have decided what I think is worthy of registering. What I am showing here came from the 2014 crop of 2500, so culling is brutal here.
Here are the rest from that crop.

Fred did you list these or compost them? If not, there are a couple that would fit with one of my goals if you plan on letting go of them.

That bottom one I would grow just for the sake of growing it...

Wow, Fred, that first flower looks like it has some sculpting. So textural and interesting. I bought my first UF daylilies this past summer, so have seen no blooms in person.
josieskid My first registration in 1998 was a UF and the are my favorite form, most never look the same from day to day. I think you will be very happy come bloom season.

All these will be evaluated in 2017 as three years old to decide which make the cut.

"most never look the same from day to day."

Fred, I've been looking at and reading about UF's all summer, and I never saw anything like this statement. I hope you mean this in a good way, because I'm SO in love with my UF's from pics on the internet. My favorites are the cascades, with their long, graceful curls!

And I can barely wait till next summer!
I are sooooo smart!

I do mean that in a good way, UFs do so much twisting and curling each bloom will be a little different, makes for an interesting bloom season.
