I guess we need a new thread for July. Not much for me today.

GALAXY EXPLOSION X REBEKAH'S GOTHIC SPIDER


PASTEL PALETTE X OPEN HEARTH

I love that your working with UFs and large flowers Cindy, the first one looks really nice and the form of the second one should get betted after a couple more blooms

BLACK SHEEP X LILLIAN'S FIRE AND FLAME 18M 5.50"

BLACK SHEEP X (LILLIAN'S ALABAMA SUNRISE X LILLIAN'S STOKE THE FIRE) 18M 5"

LILLIAN'S LYING TIME AGAIN X FLORENCE DENNY 18M 5"

Thanks Fred

I've posted this before but had to again since it was blooming today

This is Kim's and will be registered in a couple of years if it keeps up the good stats. The rebloom scape is awesome and doesn't flop and it sets pods.

LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAILS x OOPS ANOTHER MIRACLE

OMG that color ... those frills ... the cascading curls ... wow!

Very nice seedling Michele.

I like the Florence Denny one, Fred.

Wow -- what great color on Fred's orange and Kim's seedling! Fabulous!

I hope to register this one next year as Gypsy Cats if I have enough fans. It has a 7.5 inch bloom on 29 inch scapes with 24-28 buds and 4-5 way branching. The parents are the Trimmer seedling "Laughing Hyena" and Back Scratcher. I'm not sure if it's a dormant or a semievergreen. The first two winters I was sure it was dormant since it died back totally early in December. Last year it acted more like a semievergreen. I need to check for resting buds this winter.



I'll always keep this one in the garden, even if it doesn't develop enough buds to register: Shores of Time X Rosy Rhino. The deep rose pink color carries a long way and makes the blooms stand out in the seedling bed.

Outstanding seedlings Kim and Debra.

I have been looking at this for almost four years and have six or seven clumps, I made the decision yesterday to destroy it after watching it rebloom it's last time. It never got better than top branching with 8-10 buds.
HB25 LILLIAN'S CLOCKWORK ORANGE X MARTIN BLONDEEL 4YR 5.50"

Here are a couple sibs I flagged to watch another year.
HB24-15 COACH'S BRAIDED ANGEL X DR STUMP 20M 5.50"

HB25-15 SIB TO ABOVE 5"

First flower open ever on Etched Eyes x Tet Lavender Blue Baby. I'm hoping by the time I get home from work it will have turned into a beautiful color LOL!

Hey Seed, that colour is not bad already!!

Sorry to hear HB25 never got beyond top branching. I remember commenting on it, or possibly a similar seedling you posted, about how I liked the color bleeding between the eye and edge. If you ever decide you no longer want the second Black Sheep seedling from yesterday ....I may just have to sit up and beg for a piece of that one

Seedsower, nice seedling and I love your sense of humor!

LOVE both of these! The colors are so vivid !

That's a great looking seedling, Sandi! And I do love that color combination.

And Fred, are those two seedlings you mentioned destroying too awful to offer up on the Lily Auction? The flowers are gorgeous, and even if you mention the problems I'll bet there are a few who might still bid on them... like me on that Emerald Starburst seedling...

Gypsy Cats is awesome looking. Love the color.

with Betty!

Sandy - I really like your orange blooming seedling! I think it is very unusual and beautiful .... and I am not big on "orange" blooms, but that one I really like!

Most odd, I now have another seedling sowed on 11/17/2013 also showing a scape and buds. What's odd is that out of the entire raised bed of Fall/Winter sowed seedlings (which is over 100 seedlings), this one is right next to the other seedling that I posted about in the June Seedling thread. Perhaps I fertilized better in that area than the rest of the raised bed?

This seedling showing a scape is another of Sandi's seeds. It is "Infinite Blue x Unknown":



I am amazed that seeds sowed as late as November are going to bloom for me this year! I didn't even know that was possible. And I do remember that it took about 2 weeks after I sowed them to show germination. So that would put it near the end of November. We're talking about 7 months from seed to scape/buds! I'm pretty excited to see blooms so soon!

Here is a photo of a second year seedling blooming for the 1st time. (Unknown parentage.) This first bloom is a polymerous:



Another photo of 2 blooms (with another behind them), opened today on this unknown parentage seedling:



All these unknown seedlings happened as a result of some wildlife that made a mess of my seedling bed last year. Raccoons, armadillo, and possum must have been digging for grubs or something and all the markers were destroyed, moved, or missing. So these are all unknowns that have blooms currently.

Thanks for the comments on my orange seedling! It does have a commanding presence at 39" tall and and 8" bloom. I'm not sure if the branching is desirable, or not, but I guess a large clump of this could be appealing Guess I'm liking them tall lately!


Becky, VERY thrilled to read that some of the seeds I sent you last year will bloom this year! How very exciting. You need to post pictures, just gotta see them!

Yes it is very possible to get bloom in 7 months. Fred's bloom anywhere from 7-9 months from seed to scape. We generally do here as well but we get colder than Fred so our season is behind his so it takes a tad bit longer to see blooms.
