This is, 2023 Queen's Violet x Hear His Voice, first 2 repeats, last one FFE
First, favorite of this cross so far,

Next sib, looks a bit messed up today

Then FFE today on this sib, looks really messed up.


FfE on another 2023, a few days ago but cheating and putting it here
Northwood Tie Dye Artist x Ukn, first bloom a poly,


Phone could not capture accurate color except when I took a pic of the back. Base color light lemon yellow that blends into light pink. Green throat.

Could only set 2 pods on Northwood Tie Dye Artist last year as a new plant. Both tags faded. 2 different parents, with one possibility being Vineland L'uva. Having May May in its parentage, Vineland L'Uva is my best guess for this one. It will be interesting to see others from these x Ukn bloom. Hoping at least I planted and kept some from both pollen parents.

And 2022's,

Apricot Sparkles x Regency Heights

Note, not ivory, my phone really messes up color sometimes.
More accurate color on this pic but I was trying to capture the petal colors which seem to alternate pink, bluish / greenish gray and yellow. Could be due to shade and neglect though.

K, I like the first seedling a lot. The second one is interesting too with the slight pattern in the watermark. Are those little teeth on the Apricot Sparkles x Regency Heights sdlg?

What Char, no love for the third sib?

I'm not sure I exactly know what teeth are. Of course I've seen references and pics of some that are "toothy" or have teeth. I thought it looked like fringes. Still learning. A bit of a surprise from the cross though.

I was more intrigued by the color. But it did interest me enough to put it in a bit of sun and start watering it.

Third Sib looking better today on second bloom

Just took this late morning pic.


2023 cross, Here's to You Bill Robinson x. Eyelash Kisses

K, S1-04 is nice, especially intrigued by the sepals. 23-HTYBRxEYE-04 I also find intriguing. Seems like those two should get together...


I've decided to plant more than the usual number of seedlings next spring, so some tough decisions are needed in order to make room. I'm starting by clearing some keeper bed room for new keepers...


These two older seedlings, which I will always respect and try to have a place for, must now concede their prime realestate to younger, more active, seedlings...


17-180 should do the same, but I'm on the fence. There is much that I like about the look of this one, even if it does tend to bloom a bit in the foliage. Feel like I need to make 1 or 2 crosses with it next year...


19-74 is staying. One reason is above-average foliage. Another is the throat.

I think the petals are actually more beige than yellow but the yellow streaming out rather nicely from the throat makes them look yellow. I have couple crosses in mind for it for next year..



19-212 is staying. Was superior in handling being transplanted to quite a different setting.

I don't think it is quite a finished product but thrilled to work with it and excited about some seedlings coming from it starting next year-- hopefully they retain some of the cool toothing on the petal edge...


22-680 handled transplanting admirably and is definitely staying. This dip was my first step into the dip realm, breaking my long-standing rule. I've now got multiple dip seedlings. What have I done...

Second years (second bloom year) will get a tough cull. I've decided these two will help carry the flag for my relief sculpting side-project.

22-246 looking this good is a testament to its fortitude. And its green throat has just got a little extra ooomph to it that I like...


22-672 also has some petal color issues that I feel can probably be overcome,

and the relief sculpting seems to me to be worthy of working with, and the edge has some real potential, and...

Much more work to do...

This is one of my seedlings today.


I have to go back and look at other pictures to see if it has done this before. I so wish that my Yankee Pinstripes or Pink Stripes was still blooming.

Margarets Spirit x Thank You Dad


Fred's Red x Mascara Snake


Shirley's Delight x Valence


Blazing Hope x Chicago Girls


Nana Nance x Unknown


I Love August x Hardy Har Har


Tigrillo Afternoon x Wonders and Miracles (2)


Sdlg 17-52 (Curts Gift x Farm Girls) x Grand Daddy


(Keepsake Rosie x Nana Nance) x (Nana Nance x Victoria Josephine) -wordrobe malfunction messing up the LFO


Christie's Big Heart x The Dream Society

Mebbe I shouldn't give up on SD×V quite yet

Thank you Dennis. Not too far off in our thinking in terms of crosses. Waiting on the sibs of the HTYBRxEYE cross to bloom. That pic of 04, was its third bloom, first two were splotchy. So I polinated 23-S1-04 with HTYBR pollen (2023 frozen pollen) and also a northern bred patterned dormant. My HTYBR plant finally just sent up its first scape of the season a few weeks ago. Really like your 22-680.

Interesting bloom Heidi.

Tim, "Wardrobe malfunction"

Thank you Betty for the acorn.

Glad others have joined the August seedling bloom party.

Nothing new today. Last bloom today on the first scapes of my South Seas x Unknown cross. But its instant rebloom scape still has tons of buds.

I was having a hard time with sib #3, K. Maybe it didn't like being left out, second bloom does look better!

Here's to You Bill Robinson x. Eyelash Kisses is very nice! The "toothy" thing I can vary from fringe to big teeth. That you have it on a diploid is the cool thing.

Doing the same thing here Dennis, thinning older bridge seedlings to make room for to put some newer ones. Figure if I haven't needed to go back to something in 5 years then it should go. I'm not sure we should ever "go back" anyhow, bridge plants should be moving us forward.
19-212 has a fun edge! Hope you can keep it in some of the sdlgs. I really like your relief sdlgs, nice relief, edges and green throats.

Tim, Nana Nance x Unknown, oh that's pretty with the watermark on all tepals. The seedling you sent me has been blooming away with huge perfect blooms. Nice plant on it too, 4 way and blooms are held perfectly above the foliage. Can't remember if you told me what the parentage was. Is it something you plan to register? Here's a couple images, the scape stretching on the right is it too.

I missed much of the past three weeks in my garden, but caught a few remaining seedlings in recent days, plus will sneak in a few late July blooming seedlings. All of these seedlings were from 2022 crosses, and bloomed for the first time this year.

Victorian Lace x Lonesome Diva -- a bit of sculpting snuck in there. From July 21.


Spacecoast Francis Busby x Heavenly Queen of Sheba. I only had 8 seedlings, and tagged 7 to keep. All had warm tropical colors, fairly large flowers, and wonderful wavy margins. Will thin next year. Here's two from July 25 and July 28.




Women Seeking Men x Diamond Shores from Aug 4.


Patsy Cline x Spacecoast Francis Busby. I only tagged a few seedlings from this cross, as many hung up badly. This one opened readily. Ruffles.


Men in Black x Magical Eye of Ra


Next up, two seedlings from Hooked on You x Men in Black. Love the teeth! Photos taken taken July 29 and July 31. The latter plant just started blooming in late July, with a good bud count but on a short inflorescence. It is getting backcrossed to Hooked on You.



Some more teeth, this time on Thistles and Thorns x Men in Black. July 30 bloom.


Frog recently hung out all day in this flower as it was overcast and intermittent mist.


Regards to all.

Just a final comment. I went through the July and August seedling postings to see what I missed the past three weeks before I posted my seedlings above. So much diversity! But it struck me how so many different clones are being used by all of us pollen dabblers. Of the 70 or so clones I am growing, I didn't see more than maybe five(?) mentioned in these postings. Speaks to our varied interests, different gardening conditions and clonal adaptability of course, and how many good daylilies there really are out there. An infinity of genetic combinations possible.

Char and thank you for pointing out that "toothy" thing on the dip. I have no clue on such things.

Love the little frogs in the daylily pics. Jim. I know I've seen others on occasion post them as well. Soo cute. Nothing cute nestled in my daylilies I'll tell ya.

Cross posted Jim. Interesting observation.

Garden name : Ms Lizzy .. very consistent.

Flat purple bitone.. consistent. Smallish yet it was moved from a dense stand w minimal conditions.

Scaper 1 28 BC .. I like the habit w no gold edge

Scaper 2 at 20 BC... heavy substance and consistent. Garden name 'Mississippi'... sorta muddy for my taste.

'Plain 'ol' .. mite light for substance.. consistent.

Likely put some of this pollen on PO.. Bremer/Solaris sdlg I believe. Lg tall decent BC. Cannon 110 refuses nearly to capture this rich purple color. LOL.. cannon manuals are IMO the largest pile of word salad imaginable.

'No Gold'' at least almost none edge. Very consistent... flat.
BPP #1 which had last flower yesterday. All pods.. only misses rain days

According to my records, I sent you Shirley's Delight (Todd) x Dr McGregor's Garden (Davisson).

Here's a picture I took just this morning, as it's one of the few "summer" season seedlings that is still blooming.



I should really register some of my seedlings, especially those that have been sent out to others like you. So far, I've been too lazy to figure out how to do it, though.

Nice striping showing up with MSKL.s-2300 a4.1


Finally, some spots coming out... PPS-2300 b3.2


Grand-kid of Clown Pants ... MSKL.SLHP-2300 3.2


Tall scape on TTSWG-2300 4


WhEPD2-22.001 putting out cristate blooms pretty reliably


And a near-white seedling from SAWHSF-2300


Colour-break on BOBS-2300 a4 (a double)




And one very big surprise... coming out of White Eyes Pink Dragon ...


Consistent pattern on a Xenomorph seedling...


And from the PTAS-2300 b2 sibs...






And a nice gold with a bite... STST-2300 b2

August Seedlings. So pretty all.

To break up the beautiful seedling posts, this is what I saw this morning looking out the window and thought, yeah that's got to go.
2023 Search for Green Pastures x. Substantial Evidence-06

So after I cut off what apparently was yesterday's "as open as it gets bloom", this is what you have at 7:00 P.M.

Good grief

But before old bloom cut off, saw this.

So now its staying put, just out of curiousity to see what the rebloom looks like. Then it goes.

To end on a better note, first bloom on this one was a poly previously posted, second bloom poly too. Note, not ivory, light lemon yellow blending into very light pink. My phone can not capture the color of this one correctly. cross: Northwood Tie Dye Artist x. Unknown

I love them all but this one is my favorite.

Thank you Roger and Karen.
