I am sorry so many of you have a while longer to wait to see plants and especially blooms. I must admit that I typically don't see buds until April. Seeing two bud stems forming the beginning of March was quite a shock. I couldn't believe it! I should see blooms in another week (I hope). No telling what each plant will produce. They are two different plants from the same cross. I will be interested to see if they look similar or very different. One never knows with seedlings.

Dragonfly Dawn is NOT one I own. But I have several crosses (seedlings) from that one that I am growing. I love the genes in that cultivar. It is probably my favorite daylily. (Funny that I don't even own it. *Blush* )

I am probably an oddball here, but I love seedlings. I just love the surprise of having something totally unique and new. And I am fascinated by daylily genetics. Daylilies are my obsession. I used to be a Japanese Morning Glory fan, but those vines get infected with a form of rust fungus ... which actually ruins and kills the vines. So I switched to daylilies (even with rust on them, too!). At least the rust on my daylilies has not killed any of them and it does not seem to affect the blooms. Thumbs up
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
