Thank you all for you kind comments. We really got into daylilies in 2011 by planting about 400 hundred seedlings after our experiment years of 2009-10, We have increased the number of seedlings each year and in 2015 we started 5-7 thousand new babies. While we have some nice seedlings that are also performing well, we do not get rapid increase on our plants. We probably need to do a better job of moving our evaluation plants to their own bed and taking special care to feed and water for increase. While we have 10-15 fans of several, we only have 4- 6 fans of some. All the plants pictured are 2011-2013. The next two bloom seasons should be something for us to look forward to. Ashton recently stated that he is ready for winter since that means we are closer to spring and the excitement of some really interesting crosses that will start blooming for the first time. Here are individual pictures and some stats on some of the seedlings.
