I just LOVE that first one (Jan drooling)

Buddies black lady one is such a great color. Beautiful!!!
Fred do you think the last one will get a richer color with age??? If it does with that heavy texture it will be a beauty!

Those are all lovely!

Just a Heads-Up, folks -- Fred has posted some seedlings on the Lily Auction. I've bid on one (Anotheririslady), and there are some really nice ones there!

Just gotta say that Mango Sundae is a stunner.
Now that's the look I'm aiming for in all colors and eyes/edges.
Beautiful, just beautiful. Love the wide petals as well.

Yesterday was the kind of day you want to see everyday when you walk into the seedling beds. I had more blooms over 6" on the baby seedlings than I have ever seen, some were even nice. Rained all night so there may be no photo taking today.
This first one was the seedling of the week. Getting a lot of nice eye and edge from seedling 210.

Correction, meant to say Mango Sundae x HB42 seedling. I looked back
at your pic of Mango Sundae and the baby is so much better than the parent.
Just beautiful, as are the others flowers you are showing. But some just grab
you more than others.

Glad to see you are getting a six inch seedling out of Happy Happy. I am going
to pair HH with some larger flowered ones this year in hopes of getting the larger
size. With its background, I thought it might be difficult to do. I certainly like the looks
of what you accomplished with the HH cross. Gives me much needed inspiration.

Congrats on getting many that are six plus inches in size. My six plus inchers are much older
flower crosses, and most certainly not as nice as yours, but even so, it is kinda tough
to cull them when they grab you with their size. But cull I do anyway.

I just got Happy Happy and I sure hope it blooms this year. Would love to use its pollen.

The HH seedling is really great but that last one is to Die For. Love the color and edge on it.

James' seedlings

Most of these I don't know what they are out of

Those are all nice. Such a variety too. I especially like the purple one
and the last one.

I really love #8, the red one with the very defined watermark blending into yellow, then green. And the edges with the white piping and scallops -- truly wonderful to my eye!

I was at Jame's yesterday afternoon and those spiders and ufs are huge.
Raining yesterday so some of the photos may not be the best
This was the seedling of the day.

Very nice!!! You sure can see the Happy Happy influence on that last one.

Beautiful! Love the second one and the last -- HAPPY HAPPY gives such incredible edges, but the seedling using BEST EDGE really has the other edges beat! Wow!

That Best Edge one sure does have the other edges beat. I wonder what
Best Edge x Happy Happy would do.

AGAIN BEAUTIFUL

BE & HH could only be beautiful. Maybe Fred will have some of these in his seedlings. Thats a good idea Kim.
