Judy, no problem at all! I LOVE seeing bloom pictures, and hearing about what everyone else is growing, especially seedlings! It gives me great ideas of what to look for, if I can't find the right plant in my own garden.

What I meant by "not what I'm looking for", was shimmery. That isn't the same as diamond dusting. I like it, but it's not the same. However, it will be another thing to try for if I can't get good diamond dusting on the seedling. Maybe shimmery is easier? I have no idea! Many of my darker daylilies are shimmery to some extent. Some more than others. It wasn't where I was headed with the seedling, but that's okay! It may be where I end up with it!

More than anything, I'd love to know if diamond dusting in a seedling is something that gets better over time. Last year there was none. This year there is a tiny bit, but you really have to look for it. Will next year possibly be better? That's what I'd love to know. This is my first year with decent seedlings, and all previous seedlings I've made are no longer living as far as I know. They were all left behind when we moved, and I'm pretty sure that they are all dead, though we still own the house that they were left behind at. So, I consider myself totally new at this - again!
