LILLIAN'S CUNNING LIES X LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAIL 8 month old 7-8"

HB02-19 WILD DREAMS X SUBURBAN MARY LOIS BURKETT) X LILLIAN'S RAINBOW AT DAWN
2 year old 2.50"

Fred - Love the colors of the first one and I am smitten with the bloom size of the second seedling!

Here are my seedling blooms for the first day of May:

CCC15: Drink the Light x God Save the Queen - always reliably blooms each Spring! Sowed from seed in 2013 and bloomed for the first time in 2014.


UUU03: CCC01 (Laughing Clown x Zanti Misfit) x ZZZ19 (Magic of Oz x Lily Munster)
This one is a surprise considering all the parents involved. I am not a huge fan of yellow daylilies, but this one I really like. It has an air of elegance and the color is quite pleasing to me.


UUU13: Little Jet Setter x Japanese Brocade - Interesting resulting blooms. The blooms are 3-1/2" with 13 buds to start with. (First time to bloom.) Looks like little Jet Setter only in the "pink" version.


Now something has struck me about this one. It has produced several blooms. All have streaking of yellow on the petals or sepals somewhere. At first I just thought it was the first bloom, but I am now noticing this happening on every bloom from this particular scape.

TTT27: CCC05 (Laughing Clown x Zanti Misfit) x Little Jet Setter. These are the photos of the blooms from this particular scape. Look closely at the petals/sepals and you will see the yellow streaking.
1st bloom -
2nd bloom -
3rd bloom -

So my question is - Is this yellow splotching/streaking an external issue or it is an internal mutation of this particular fan/scape/buds?

Becky, maybe the yellow streaks are a special gift passed down from Little Jet Setter. I like it

Love that yellow, Becky!

Me too! Becky, keep an eye on that scape. I'm curious about the cause of the yellow. Might be like what I had with Lavender Stardust last summer with the one branch with the genetic mutation.

I like Fred's first one too, Great colors, form and size to me.

Wonderful seedlings

HB10-18 (WAVES OF JOY X BUDDYS SPOOK) 8" first bloom to be registered as LILLIAN'S SEISMIC EVENT this fall.

HB29-17 (LILLIAN'S RAINBOW AT DAWN X SUBURBAN WREN) X LILLIAN'S ALABAMA STUD) 2.50" to be registered as LILLIAN'S VIOLET EYED PIXIE this fall.

Really interesting seedling Becky, also hope the yellow continues. Also like the 2nd one, nothing like a yellow self.

Oh my goodness, Fred, Lillian's Seismic Event and
Lillian's Violet Eyed Pixie are so beautiful! Love both of them.

Fred - The two you are registering this fall have exquisite patterns, and I really love the coloring on Seismic Event.

Both are unique and beautiful!

Fred - Always a delight to see what can be created using imagination, skill, and crossed fingers! Sometimes we get better than expected. Looks like that happened to you on these 2 new intros for 2019.

I'm finally starting to get a few blooms here, although after almost 100 degrees last week it's cooled down again.

PORT ORANGE x LILLIAN'S STUFF AND SUCH - My FFOE on this seedling, and it's a pretty tall one, probably double the height of each of its parents -- and a much brighter orange bitone. I hope the weather is warmer when I get more blooms so the petals will fully open -- but I like it and the bright bloom definitely stood out in the garden yesterday.


ORANGE BLOSSOM TRAIL x SPACECOAST COLOR SCHEME - This is an older seedling of mine, and I really love it. It has a smaller flower, around 4" to 4-1/2" with wonderful bloom substance, and it has great color that doesn't seem to fade during the day in our hot sun.

Like both of those Betty, most of my first blooms are funky, I never worry about it, they can only get better or visit the compost pile.

This is some of those funky first blooms.

Fred, if those are funky, I'll take funky any day!

They are beautiful

They don't look funky at all to me!

All are lovely and I like the colors on the middle one best.

Noid × noid

Pretty! Looks like it might be a polychrome. Or is that just my computer screen?

This was unexpected from the cross I made but it is a the top of my "keep one more year list". I did put PINEWOOD GREEN FLASH on it yesterday.
