Casshigh said:Julia, we also have Rambunctious Rosie, Mean Green and What's Up Down South. We did not have a lot of Judy's to bloom this past summer or the blooms were few because either they were added in the spring or planted late fall, so they were still settling in. I moved all of Judy's to one bed late fall of last year. I expect them to perform this coming year and am looking forward to their blooms. Judy's daylilies have great branching.

Rambunctious Rosie and Spring Mystique should be an interesting cross. I also plan to make some pattern crosses, too. This fall I have moved our Carpenter patterned daylilies together along with some of our green throated UF/Spider dips. I want to do some serious crosses. In order to do this, I must limit the number of daylilies that I will work with and make hybridizing a priority. It is impossible to do everything that needs to be done once the daylilies are blooming. I did not take as many pictures this past summer, so I would have more time to do other garden jobs. Oh, well, life is all about choices. Whistling


The only other cross I was able to do was EVIDENCE OF ALIENS x SPRING MYSTIQUE. I purposely limited my crosses this year.
I've been slowly taking out any plantings I have doubles of. Next will be the ones that would be better off down south or ones I really can't use in
hybridizing. I still have a soft spot Lovey dubby for many which will never leave the garden until I do Rolling my eyes.
