Sandy, my goodness, what beautiful seedling! And like Debra, I absolutely love the second one, but as I look them over again, I love them all!
Jan, Cottage 12-1 is very nice looking. How wonderful that you can go to those four acres and transplant to WI. It must be nice to have your own free daylily farm to go to every year and see if there is something new blooming! I would love that
Becky, any daylily in my garden now was given to me by a friend or neighbor. Until this year, I picked almost every spent bloom and seed pod off. However, I had to miss some and a daylily bloomed in 2012 and this year that had to be a bee pollinated seed from "Outrageous", because I certainly wouldn't have put it where it is now, and "Outrageous was there only daylily close by until I added Autumn Wood in 2010 and Lavender Blue Baby in 2011.
This is what this space looked like in 2012 right in front of the plow. The daylily with the dark eye is hiding behind an "Autumn Wood" bloom.
This is what this space looked like this year in front of the plow. Now I don't know enough about hybridizing to know if this bloom could have even come from the same seed pod, but it is in almost the exact same place as the bloom from 2012. Next year I will pay more attention since I have these pictures to compare. These two blooms may not be in exactly the same spot and I will have two more NOID's to add to my list!
I think I should start naming my NOID's. It's too confusing when you have several pinks with dark eyes!
