Becky, both of those Trahlyta seedlings and that DDxWT seedlings are very worthy. I would put those in my collection anytime!

Fred, the eye on your (WILD DREAMS X SUBURBAN MARY LOIS BURKETT)X LILLIAN'S RAINBOW seedling is stunning!

Becky, I also like the DDxWT seedling. She's lovely!

Becky - Those are really nice ones. Dragonfly Dawn X Whale Tails is a standout, and I would love to see more of Drink the Light x God Save the Queen.

My new seedlings have just started to bloom. I've gotten some real dogs to start out with, and one that was first a frog but is trying to be a prince.

(Sun Bear X Julie Newmar) x Blazing Saddles - Bloom size just over 8 inches and has some white teeth along the edge. Vigorous growth going from one fan to four in less than a year.


Insider Trading x The Ultimate Sacrifice ffo

Beautiful Shive!

Gorgeous seedlings

Thank you to all for your kind compliments. It's partly the luck of the draw when you grow a seedling. I've gotten amazing blooms from unexpected ones and ugly blooms from crosses that I thought would create something amazing. One just never knows what a cross might produce from any given seed.

Debra - CCC107 (Drink the Light x God Save the Queen) originally had it's first bloom of the year on April 13. I took a photo of two blooms on May 2 and also shared a photo of it's sibling (CCC15) in the photo above it, in this post: https://garden.org/thread/view... It's sibling CCC15 is still blooming, while CCC107 is now producing reblooms. Both seedlings I've enjoyed, though CCC15 has produced the better foliage. It's always interesting to me to see siblings that look more different than the same. I have also noted that the color is more vivid when the temps are a little cooler on CCC107. The heat here in central Florida is enough to drain the color out of anything living.

BTW - Your (Sun Bear X Julie Newmar) x Blazing Saddles is most attractive! I could imagine using it for hybridizing to see what it might produce!

Debra, your Sun Bear seedling gives me hope! it's pretty : )
I have some babies from it and I'm looking forward to its maiden bloom (next year if I'm lucky!)

Some really nice ones Becky, love that first one.
(Sun Bear X Julie Newmar) x Blazing Saddles Really nice Debra

Beautiful @Shive1!

shive1,
I often don't care for teeth on a lot of daylilies but (Sun Bear X Julie Newmar) x Blazing Saddles looks very nice with it's white teeth.

Here are three siblings from the cross BLUE GOBLIN x TET OUT OF THE BLUE:

Very interesting... love it!

GOD SAVE THE QUEEN x CASPER'S REVENGE - This is a sib to the one that bloomed first last year, only this plant decided to wait another year to bloom:


And here is its sib that first bloomed last year:


ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL x SACHA - Love the big green throat!


This is an interesting seedling that can look quite different:
WILD DREAMS x BONIBRAE COTTON CANDY SWIRLS

And a third bloom from this seedling is my avatar picture.

And these last two are for Dot (Ladylovingdove) -- both are seedlings that I've posted pictures of before, and the seeds came from Dot. I really love both of them, especially the first:
SOUTHWESTERN MEMORIES x RIO FIESTA


SOUTHWESTERN MEMORIES x CAN'T TOUCH THIS - A small with about 4" blooms:

WOW Betty! Gorgeous blooms on those.

Wow Betty

We have been gone and missing the blooms and hybridizing. Back home this week and catching up by dabbing lots of pollen and weeding. Here are some 3-4 year old seedlings that I selected for evaluation.

These first 2 are sibs and there are 2 more that make this cross a real winner. I lost the parent seedling of these which is #12-450(Stargate Portal x Fancy Face)'
12-450 x Cosmic Kaleidoscope




These next 3 are sibs and this cross gave me so many really nice flowers with such variety.
These are Galaxy Explosion x (Nikki Schmith x Blue Oasis)

@kidfishing Galaxy Explosion x (Nikki Schmith x Blue Oasis)
The first one...
Really like the yellow rib against the deep eye...

I am always under the impression that my seedlings must hate me. Yours are marvellous. Mine are always so and so.
Anyway, first flower ever for this seedling.
I found out I made a mess with tags so now I'm not sure who the parents are. Weather is not ok, still a bit cold and rain this night.



It's 33" tall and 8" wide.
Maybe it has not deployed its full potential, because I can't recognize any trait of the crosses I planted in it.

I love a raised midrib that carries the base color through the eyezone.

Good morning :)

My seedlings are not quite as sophisticated, but I was happy to see some blooms yesterday and today!

Wild and Wonderful x Dragonfly Dawn



Delaney's Rainbow X Amazing Adam
