I haven't posted any seedling photos in June. Rain, interruption of internet service due to lightning and a habit of nodding off at night are some of the reasons why. All the beautiful photos that others post are a bit intimidating, too :). There aren't going to be too many more new ones anyway, I think. Mine are as much for curiosity as anything else. Information if someone is growing something and are tempted to use it.
I'm going to start with a repeat of one I've posted. The green center has gotten greener on subsequent blooms and does not fade as the day progresses. My photos just don't pick up how green it really is or how large an area the green covers. The plant is also measuring as a true spider as well as being a UF. And it's going to rebloom. All in all, it's earning another year and up-sizing to a larger container if I can manage the latter. 'Cat's Cradle X Green Arrow':
I've had two seedlings from 'Grey Witch X Skinwalker' bloom. For some reason they surprised me. I think I was expecting a narrower form than showed up. Here's one:
And here's another 'Grey Witch X Skinwalker':
I had only three 'Tigereye Spider X unknown' plants. This one grew better by far, but it had the advantage of being in a larger container and for a longer time than the siblings. It has measured as a true spider on all the blooms, but barely :)
A 'Purple Many Faces X Skinwalker' result:
'Selma Longlegs X Skinwalker' with the garden name of Litter Mate, it curls more as the day heats up:
'Selma Longlegs X Lilting Belle' which is growing in a hanging pot. The blooms are big and the plant is behaving oddly. Probably worth keeping another year and seeing what it might do in a larger capacity container. It's interesting. I'll post two photos so you can see it hanging :):
...and hanging:
And another repeat. Didn't much care for this one at first, but a couple of blooms later am beginning to like it. That's what happened with its pollen parent years ago. No explanation for it. This is 'Lilting Belle X Milady Greensleeves':
I have several containers crowded with seedlings of 'Spider Miracle X unknown'. Some have managed little scapes and blooms and the appearance has been all over the place. Orange with eyes, red ones and a couple like this one. Maybe at some point I'll be able to get them out and see what they really can do. It'd be easier to just discard the whole bunch if they wouldn't tease me by blooming:

. But the colors and patterns on daylilies is just amazing
