Unfortunately I only have two new seedlings that I've selected so far this year. Our drought situation here in Bakersfield has precluded my planting anything in the three beds that I was planning for seedlings, so I have lots and lots of seedlings in 4" pots -- and it's very rare that a seedling will bloom from a 4" pot for me. And of course that means I still haven't seen any dip seedlings to date, only tets that I created two or three years ago before I started collecting dips. But at least I've been able to select two that were hearty enough to bloom in those little pots...
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN x WAVES OF JOY - I'm saving this one just to see what it looks like in the future, as I haven't been that impressed with the blooms so far since it started blooming. But I like the green throat and think it might have potential.
PINK LEMONADE PARTY x SPINEFELD - Love the toothies, and I just have to see what this one looks like next year.
And here are a few that I selected last year to see what they look like this year. I really like them, and all these pictures were taken this spring.
SOUTHWESTERN MEMORIES x RIO FIESTA (seed from Ladylovingdove)
SOUTHWESTERN MEMORIES x CAN'T TOUCH THIS (seed also from Ladylovingdove) - A small-flowered daylily
SPACECOAST IRISH ILLUMINATION x MAGIC MANDOLIN - The blooms have great substance and color that doesn't fade
ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL x SPACECOAST COLOR SCHEME - Brilliant color and great substance
STIPPLED STARSHIP x ALIEN FORCE - I continue to like and work with this toothy seedling that I nicknamed "FLOSSING"...
And then there are a few seedlings that I purchased through the Lily Auction, and I really like each of them. The first was purchased from James (Jwwc) last year, and here was one of its first blooms in 2015.
BLUE MARTINI x SPINEFELD
And here's what it looked like this spring - love it!
COSMIC KALEIDOSCOPE x STANDING ON THE PROMISE - Purchased from Nicole (Ndl)
JAMMIN'S KALEIDOSCOPE JEWEL x WAVES OF JOY - Purchased from June Singletary (Junemark)
STARMAN'S QUEST x ROSE F KENNEDY - Purchased from Will Marchant (William)
I've also purchased a few seedlings from Fred (Spunky1), although not all of them have bloomed yet for me. A couple of these were purchased in previous years and I still use them; and I've just purchased two more and have a current bid on another.
EMERALD STARBURST x LILLIAN'S WOMAN'S TOUCH
TET LILLIAN'S THIN ICE x DRAGONFLY DAWN - Fred is currently using this seedling and has posted pictures this spring -- and I really love it and was thrilled when he put 4 fans up for auction last summer!
PARROT MOON x LILLIAN'S BANGING MANGOS
LILLIAN'S STOKE THE FIRE x SIBLING F2
I also have a few seedlings that I've directly purchased from Subhana Ansari, but I'll have to post those at another time.
