Larry, I forgot to mention that I love the colors on your first and last seedlings.
The sometimes-cristate seedling is a tet. I mostly do only tet crosses (though last year I confess I was working on a pink dip cross
).
Betty,
at your 'Schoolbus' - that seems to be a very appropriate name. (Much as I like screaming golds, I prefer the softer colored lavender seedling, your # 2 in the 2nd 5.)
The "color changer" is interesting, but the bud count (thus far) is low, and I would like a larger flower on a taller scape. I have a hint that I might be able to generate something similar in a larger flower, so I'm going to try a cross or two in that direction this year. (Whether I can get seeds, and then be able to plant out the seeds, is another matter...)
Vickie, the small yellow starts out a very nice lemon color, and then at the end of the day has faded to more of a creamy yellow. I love lemon daylilies and so I wish this one were more sunfast wrt color, but at least the substance and surface texture holds up.
Your patterned seedlings are interesting, but for some inexplicable reason
, my eye keeps returning to your very dark eyed purple one.
Boyd, lovely eye on #2, lovely twists on your pale # 4, but I think #5 is best overall.
Thanks for starting this thread, Larry.
It's always interesting to see what kinds of daylily forms, faces, and colors are interested and working in.
