Jon - How many seedlings did your mom get from Trish? Would love to see more!
Cindy - I hadn't heard of any stigmas missing on blooms until I saw mine. So there are actually blooms that do that??!!! .... Mapping Pennsylvania is a lovely bloom! I wonder if it does eventually wind up producing pods after the subsequent blooms do show stigmas after the initial week of blooms. I found out today that I have TWO stigma-less type of daylilies. Another one bloomed with the same oddity today. I will be watching them to see if future blooms do produce some stigmas. So weird!
Pat - Do you know what the parentage is on Momma or the children?
This one gets better with each bloom. This is another child of Bird Talk x unknown. (It is a sibling to CCC13.) It looks like it was crossed with Stippled Statement to me. I have another Stippled Statement x unknown seedling from Sandi, so this new one appears to be yet another stippled bloom that I really like. I know some folks don't like the stippling, but I really like the look! The seed came from Sandi (
@Seedsower ). I know she does have Stippled Statement, so I am guessing she may have crossed Bird Talk x Stippled Statement and this is one of the children from such a cross.
This one is Betty Davis Eyes x Embrace the Moment. I was surprised that a dark halo around the eye was not present, but the form and color look about right to me. What do you think? This is a tiny bloom (3").
This one is El Desperado x unknown. This cross produce a lack of an eye zone color. It does happen depending on what the cross is. Unfortunately, Mike only knew the pod parent, so it's a mystery. It's quite a pretty bloom!
