The poly seedling is totally wild!
Glass Bead Game X Heavenly Pink Fang, love the form and color on this one. The edge is icing on the cake.

Betty...first small flower, EotE X PotC ...oh wow. That one is really maturing nicely. Good luck working toward small and mini's. I've developed a fondness for them, too. They can sure put on a great show in the garden when combined with a bit of height and great branching.

A few normal sdlgs...

This one is a plain jane but for some reason I like the color combination so it has stayed for a few years. Has a nice plant as well.


A pattern combining an eye and applique.


A pretty pink, sometimes white midribs don't work. In this one I think they are attractive and change what could have been an otherwise hohum pink into something pretty and interesting.


And a few sculpted forms...
Two pleated ones....first one's color is difficult to photograph, camera adds a bit to much red.



and a relief...

Char,

The first has great color.
I agree on the pretty pink,the midribs add interest

Pretty much a newbie to daylily crossing but here's a couple I set seeds for 2 years ago. Seedling x jennifers jubilee and the reverse cross, first flower on each. Very much enjoy lurking here.

Very nice for your first attempts Tracey!!!


Ed, nice seedlings. I was never able to set a pod on Elegant Candy.

Tracey - Congrats on the blooms of your first seedlings! That first one is very pretty with the green throat/eye and the darker contrasting color. I am sure the bloom will improve as more buds open!

Ed - Racking up those beauties! Great hybridizing work you are doing!

Char - I love that "pretty pink" bloom! All are quite lovely!!!

Cindy - What can I say? I always enjoy looking at what you are creating with your crosses! I really, really like your SARAH'S TRUE COLORS X TECHNY PEACH LACE seedling. Those blooms look like they are on the large size?

Betty - You go girl!!! Look at all your stunning blooms! I can't even pick a favorite because I like every one of those!

Sandi - Your photo of the seedling poly is awesome!!! Wow! Any idea what the parents of this seedling might be? Looks like a really interesting cross!

Yes Becky, they are large and on a tall scape but once again low bud count. I think I am going to give that one to my daughter to try. I have given her seedlings before and they seem to like her soil and do terrific. I gave her a spider seedling about 3 years ago and this year it had over 30 buds per scape. She now wants me to register it for her.

Cindy - Yes, I agree that many daylilies can grow and bloom differently depending on location. (I see that in my own little yard.) Any chance of posting a photo of the spider seedling that your daughter is having success with and wanting you to register? Maybe you should name it after her!?

Let me see what I can do to get it to open. I am having trouble getting it to post because I think it is too large. I don't know if there is a way to resize it from her email????

I thought Dave has this website set-up to automatically resize very large photos, especially when you click on the photo in a post? I hope you are able to get it posted. I would love to see it!

Finally got it to work Becky, here it is.

Cindy - OH MY!!! That is beautiful!! YES, you should definitely register and name that one!! I love it!!!

Thanks Becky

Cindy the Elegant Candy kid, B-9 {(Elegant Candy x Classic Romance) X Enchanted Forest} came from auction seeds

Ok, thanks Ed. I never could get a pod from it and it was not a very good grower here so it went bye bye.

Beautiful Ed. Looking at all your work makes me even more excited for the seedlings I have coming along of yours that I bought over the winter

You guys do nice work over here. Kind of neat to see what you come up with.
Here are a couple more first blooms on two seedlings from Jennifer's Jubilee (a Robert Griesbach daylily named for a granddaughter)

I hope you get some good ones Tracey

This seedling has been looking like this for the last couple days. Of course it is putting on some size compared to the younger bud next to it. Is it sometimes normal for them to look half opened while developing?

Yes, that is normal. It seems to take forever for some buds to develop and open fully.
