I would like to post some of my seedlings, but I would like to have others post there's here also. I think we all would like to see what others here are doing, not just the major hybridizers. To me seedlings are the most enjoyable part of this hobby. It amazes me that I can make a cross this year and see it bloom next year. I know a lot of areas it takes two to there years but its worth the wait. If you haven't tried hybridizing your missing the best part of growing daylilies.
I hybridize mostly tet round eyed and edge but I do a little with all of them except doubles. The only dips I do any longer are ufs on a small scale. I try to plant 1500-2000 seed each year and will see most bloom the following year. I keep seedling two years and then what few I do not keep are sold or destroyed. The first ones I will post are two year olds that I pulled from the seedling beds last fall to hybridize on and evaluate them for possible registration in the future. This was my favorite Tet two year this year, got several descent seedlings from Lillian's Alabama Sunrise the pass couple of years.
