I have very few daylilies blooming yet. I have a few that have been here at least one year and the others are new arrivals this spring.
Ruffles Have Ripples - if you enlarge the photo you can see the pattern in the eye.
Port Orange is such a soft orange. My photo doesn't capture enough of the orange color.
FFO on Best in Class
Wispy Rays is an old one but I like it very much. It has a little thrip damage. I sprayed last night and hope that takes care of most of the thrip damage. Some buds will already have been damaged. This is its FFO.
Wild Cherry Round Up
Spacecoast Hot Tamales - a parent of the burnt orange seedling I posted yesterday. The seedling is about the same color as Hot Tamales.
Maureen Faber - terrific pod setter
This photo shows how I keep my pollen. I use 7-day pill containers and label each compartment. I keep these in the same order in the pan, so I soon learn very quickly where every pollen is located. The pan goes back in the fridge when I come in from pollinating. I refresh the pollen every few days when I have fresh pollen, but most will keep this way for about a week. When I am pollinating, I try to keep the pan with the containers in the shade as much as possible. I can add pill containers as needed. Sometimes when I am at peak bloom I may have as many as 12 pill containers of pollen. I pollinate a lot because I sell the seeds to support my addiction
A couple of seedlings. This first one is a cross of Watermelon Taffy X Tequila Mockingbird, both having orange in them. What a surprise on the color of this FFO.
