Fred - I will soon have some mini daylilies blooming. They are a first for me! Can't wait to see what the little ones look like. I think I am going to like them!
Here are today's seedlings:
CCC107 (Drink the Light x God Save the Queen). 2 fans, one 19" scape, 7 buds, 6 1/2" bloom, some rust (1.5-2.0), and diamond dusting as well as the golden trim on the ruffles. This one wowed me this morning. First bloom ever on this seedling and I expect it will get better.
Morning:
Late afternoon: (It does fade.)
Hopefully you can see the gold trim and diamond dusting on the petals:
ZZZ67 (Dragonfly Dawn x Dragonfly Dawn). Second year of blooms, 1 fan still, 7 buds only, taller this year at 26 1/2", bloom size has increased to 6 1/2". Rust 2.5 - 3.0 .
Morning:
Late Afternoon:
And DDD27 (Westbourne Family Tree x Spacecoast Cranberry Kid). This is a really interesting one. It does not have the pink colored petals that the parents or previous pedigree has. BUT .... It does resemble Ida's Magic somewhat. I've had blooms that were totally unexpected the very first year they bloomed. And then the following year's blooms changed completely. So I am wondering if this might be the case with this particular seedling. Otherwise, I'd have to say I either mis-labeled it or the person I received the seeds from made a mistake on the cross label.
No morning photo as it was having a hard time opening with the cooler night temps. This is a late afternoon photo:
