My digital camera just has a macro lens right now but I'll give it a go. You may have to walk me through the pictures thing.

The seedlings really begin to show themselves pretty early, although the very dark ones tend not to be until they get a bit more mature. Some of my early favorites from the '11 seed are seedlings from self-pollinating 'Killer', which I think has lovely intense color at the leaf bases. The seedlings are a good bit larger than all the other batches and the leaf base colors are all intense but quite a range from red to purple. I've always liked the contrasting leaf base patterns and that's why 'Ruby Heart' that has red on silver is one of my favorites.

We'll have to do a "judging session" of the seedlings next spring. The seedlings from the '10 seed should be big enough clumps that we can make some decisions on their fate by that point. I'll try to get in touch with Gary by that point. The colors have faded enough now that it's not quite as good a show on the semps although it is good to note which ones still are good. Of course the daylilies are starting to show. Have had some nice seedlings there too but many of these lines are F6 and F7.
