Looks like the first bloom is close to opening! It's got some decent branching and bud count for a seedling's first bloom. I haven't had time to do the stats yet on it. Hopefully it will be blooming in the next couple of days.
It looks like there is 3 or possibly 4 branches with a current total of 18 buds so far!
Here are a couple of photos taken late today. It had been raining.
This shows the branching:
And this shows the largest bud getting closer to blooming:
So what is your take on the bloom color looking at the underside of the bud? It sure looks similar to CCC01. Looks like deep reddish or purplish petals with a wide yellow eye. Not a large bloom though, Maybe 4 1/2"? Not sure.
Perhaps Maroon color? I can't quite tell what color the bloom will likely be. I don't usually look at the underside of any of my daylily blooms enough to know if this is showing the true bloom color or a variation of what the bloom will look like. Opinions, anyone?
