Thank you to each of you! I am so glad that all of you enjoyed the slideshow. It surely helps one to anticipate Spring after a long period of no daylily blooms!
Karen & Glen - LOL! I didn't even count how many photos were in the slideshow. I had many more seedling blooms, but those in the slideshow were the best from 2015. I have a good 50+ more seedlings that haven't bloomed for the first time yet. Probably will bloom this Spring. I have over 300 seedlings currently. And will be starting more seeds over the holiday break from work. I started off with seedling daylilies and that's all I had for about 4 - 5 years. It's become a bit of an obsession, I fear. And then this time last year, I acquired my very first named and registered daylilies. I now have 49 registered daylilies, the rest are all seedlings that are growing in various raised beds and borders around my front and backyard. I have a standard residential lot. Not acreage.
Regina - Thank you! I was pleasantly surprised to see a few toothy seedlings. Next year they should be even better. I have been told that by year 3 of blooms, they should become stable and I will know what I really have.
Polymerous - Thank you! Doubles are new to me and I am finding out what form looks best. But ... beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some that I didn't care for other people really liked!
Natalie - I believe there are a number of free slide show creators online, but I usually buy programs for different types of projects. I am really into photography and videos. I create videos of and for my granddaughters all the time and also take a lot of garden photos that I use in my slideshows.
My favorite video creating/editing program is Cyberlink's "Power Director". I have the older version 11. It is now up to version 14 and is on sale for the holidays:

Cyberlink also has a user website where other members create special effects that you can download and use in your own videos. So I download a lot of those for free as well. This program offers the option to make slideshows and I can add music to them as well. YouTube has royalty free music on their website that I download and use in many of my videos. This YouTube video tells you how to access and use the music:

I use my Scrapbook Factory Deluxe Program to make most of the intro & credits pages in the slideshows and also for my videos. And I use that program to also make creative photo pages that I use in my videos/slide shows or for Snapfish or Shutterfly photo books that I make and give as gifts to family members when they run excellent sales from time to time. I burn DVDs and slideshow CDs all the time for the granddaughters.
Power Director and Scrapbook Factory Deluxe are my two most favorite and most used programs that I have actually purchased (both programs came in CD format).

I don't really buy any other programs. These are my two "go to" programs for videos and photos. Most cameras now take video as well as still snap shots. So having a video editing program was a priority for me.
Sorry to be so long winded about all that information. I just love doing something creative with my videos and photos and don't mind sharing how I do it.
