Daylily "Hemerocallis 2013 S W S

Hi Wylie

looks great I had a look at both parents, water drops is special and can understand why the cross was made with the eye pattern in both , I was surprised the seedling is so dark in colour though

Simbad, they only last a day - after they have enlivened your presence on the allotment can't you take them home to eat? They won't be there the next day anyway.

Thanks a bundle Wylie you're so kind.

 

Mmmm just for you Annemieke I promise to try at least one daylily flower this year, from the allotment not the garden , just hope I don't get a taste for them

 

Very kind very kind. You'll have to grow more!
Mind you, I think they don't taste of anything.

 

I have 2 daylily ,1 is the one identified by Joolz as Kwanso, I think the other i purchased a month ago and is in a pot at the moment, Sammy Russell.

 

Kwanso is a beauty isn't it Pam, bit rampant though, not one for my daylily bed, mines in a bed where it has lots of room as it sends stray fans off all over the place, very vigorous , I found mine dumped in a nearby field a huge clump of it, had to rescue it didn't I lol, now I know why it was there !!!!!

 

I have already planted 3 of this cross, and 3 of Waltz With The Wind x Aldersgate.

 

I have a couple more new ones open; the first is from a pack of bonus seeds:

This is Candy Gram x J.T. Davis, a 4" TET, evergreen, orange red with yellow mid ribs, and ruffling on the edges. Suitable for eating.
The other one is Better Lucky Than Good x Hippie Crash Pad:

This is a TET, 5" evergreen that is an elogated triangular form, soft orange with red eye.

 

*Seed update*

Waltz with the wind x Aldergate
Foolish Dragon x Unk
Candy Cotton Crimper x Screaming Eels
Beat or Best ? edge I think it says that on the label x Can Can

So Just the two left to go but all looking good, really pleased with them and to think each one is unique how amazing is that .

Wylie, pictures look really good

I am really enjoying growing my daylilies from seed and seeing all the variations. I know I could get some really spectacular ones if it would just warm up a little more. I tried planting yesterday, but then it started raining - its too wet today, so maybe tomorrow.

 

Hi Wylie

it hasnt rained with me at least 4 weeks , I think it will all change Monday on-wards

Wylie is the name of the seeds Beat or Best ?

Do you have one of my numbers on the envelope? I don't recognize that or Can Can.

 

The closest I can come to it is (Beautiful Edgings x Feminine Fingers) x Carpathian Cavalier [W/D-25].

 

It is W/D 25 on the plastic bag just checked but the writing doesnt say the above and the x can can is very clear

ps not all the bags have numbers

 

I probably used a shorthand name on it (it gets too repetative with some these proper names). I am adding everything I kept to a daylily program I got and listing them with a tracking number [ex: Amethyst Reflections x Unk is now 2012T001 to 2012T012 since there are 12 seedlings from the cross]. If you register anything, it needs a number, so I give them one if they are kept for a 2nd year.
