Tabby, I totally agree with what Chelle said! All of these would look great in my yard! I can't imagine getting rid of any of them! I really understand needing more room, since I'm in the same boat, but these are all such beautiful blooms! Do what I do when I'm out of room - find a neighbor to take them! That way, you can still enjoy them, and you free up room in your own yard! I like to think of my little neighborhood as an extension of my own yard, since most of the yards have plants that came from my flower beds.
My first seedlings ever are blooming this year, and all are from old daylilies. The first one to bloom was horrible, but I've had some decent ones since then. A couple of them are actually pretty! I'm only hybridizing for myself, and never plan on registering anything, but it's a lot of fun! I've got a bunch of "better" seeds in the fridge from crosses I made last year, from much newer and prettier daylilies, so hopefully the next set of seedlings will be a lot better. All of my first ones were dips, and this second set of seeds are almost all tets. Not that it really matters to me, because it's just for myself, but I hope to get something a little better from the tet seeds. But, I won't be surprised if they are nothing special! I'm not about to spend the big bucks to get the latest and greatest, but just waiting a few years brings the cost way down on many of them. I've got some absolutely stunning daylilies (to me anyway!) that are fairly new, and I paid less than $20 for them. Many I got for less than $10 for a double fan. I think it pays to wait, especially if you are in need of a lot of newer ones.
