I like clear, solid color, but for some reason I was attracted to this pale 4-year-old seedling. So far it has avoided the compost pile. I may register it as Morning's First Light:

I've taken up way too much time and space on this thread. You can see the remainder of this year's seedlings here: The thread "Remainder of my 2017 seedlings" in Daylilies forum

Just when I thought my daylily blooms season was completely done, I got a first ever seedling bloom. The seed was sowed in Fall 2016. (I for some reason didn't make a list, so the exact date is unknown, but I know it was like September or October that I sowed several seeds of this cross.)

This is TTT26 (which is a cross of CCC05 x Little Jet Setter):

Thumb of 2017-08-29/beckygardener/07245b Thumb of 2017-08-29/beckygardener/ce4058

It often surprises me what mixed genetics produce in a seedling bloom. These are the parents to the above seedling:
CCC05 (Laughing Clown x Zanti Misfit) Pod Parent:
Thumb of 2017-08-29/beckygardener/cc071c

Little Jet Setter (Pollen Parent):
Thumb of 2017-08-29/beckygardener/c5d566

Obviously, it looks mostly like it's daddy's side of the family! Thumbs up

It looks a little like "Little Dreamer" (a grandparent):
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Little Dreamer')
With the prominent eye of Little Pleasure (another grandparent):
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Little Pleasure')
The foliage reminds me of CCC05 and appears to be resistant to rust and multiplies pretty fast which explains why it already has 4 fans!

Interesting, huh?!

It's very pretty, Becky!! Isn't it amazing to get such a dark eyezone out of that cross?? Looks like the veining carried over very well too.
Great surprise and thanks for showing pics of the parents! I'm currently sorting and naming pics of seedlings so I hope to be sharing some posts like this too!
