    Yes - here is the pod flower it came from (I kept a list of all the crosses and dates so it's easy to look them up):

    This was one of largest flowers I had last year.

        All my seeds except 1 lot have germinated now :dancy:just waiting on the Rolling Raven cross, todays 3 new sprouters are :biggrin:
        Persiflage x Nefertari
        (Yazoo Wild Violet x Wild Rose Fandango) x (Lavender Blue Baby x Black Ice)
        And the last lot of yours Wylie (Little Love Bug x Unk) x (Sallie Brown x Give Me Eight)
        The ones on the windowsill in their bags have had a growth spurt in the last couple of days of nice weather and are 4-5inches tall now so they're getting potted up this afternoon :yahoo: .
        I have one lot must check which cross it is but one of yours Wylie that had 2 seedlings emerge that were nearly white!!!!, pretty sure it was a 'Moose Man' cross unfortunately 1 died after potting up but the others still ok and even though its in a bright sunny spot is still a creamy/white colour although all the rest are green, interesting to see if it stays this colour.

        The white, albino ones are a common problem - they don't produce chlorophyll and will die quickly. I get a couple every year and just throw them away - there isn't anything that can be done.
        Sounds like you will have some interesting results. We had a sunny day yesterday, which got some of the buds to start opening, and then fog and light rain today, so few opened all the way. Country Pride x Small Gesture did open with an extra petaloid, so there is a lot of hope it will be fully double.

          I have it, and I like it. It has a long season of bloom - for me it reblooms immediately. Only 4" across, but it has a lot of buds. It will start to look its best in its second year in your garden, and is quick to multiply. Since it is semi-evergreen, it should do well in the UK.

            Just had a nose
            £6.50 with p&p or the other one for £5.20 with P&P (Field grown so I would prefer the cheaper one) looks fine to me never bought of them before
            I dont have this one

            1989 1st introduced , grows to about 24 to 36 inches in height

            small flower 3 inches across but this one does re-bloom .

            Doesnt say how many fans so I imagine one ? should flower this year maybe 1 scape .

            Its a good hardy variety , semi-evergreen over winter so will keep some of its leaves

            Go on Pam treat yourself

              I had a look at Woodcote Nursery, which has a store on eBay UK, and they are 3.50 + P&P for a single fan. I've bought from them with no problems.

                  I just had a look too Spruce :biggrin: I haven't bought from this seller before either but have had lots of beauties off ebay.
                  I was sent Strawberry Candy last year by Angelina a member on here, sure she has a picture on here somewhere :scratch:, it took around 18 days to arrive!!!!!!!! and looked pretty sorry for itself but perked up and even produced a flower scape, which the rabbits or magpies pecked off :sad:, as Wylie said a good increaser looks like mines doubled in size since last year.

                    2.99 P&P for the UK. Look at their website www.woocotenursery.co.uk they have many older plants. This is where I got Trahlyta and Destined To See.

                      Thanks for that useful information Wylie:dbgrtmb: , I've never had a white seedling before explains why the first one keeled over and died when it was potted up the second hasn't grown at all so I'll be binning it.

                        The parcel postal prices have just been increased here in the UK calculated more on size now instead of weight :sad:
                        Small parcel
                        length 45cm
                        width 35cm
                        depth 8cm
                        weight up to 2kg

                        medium parcel
                        length 61cm
                        width 46cm
                        depth 46cm
                        weight up to 20kg

                        Not so good for selling/buying daylilies now unless you buy more than 3, haven't found a box thats 8cm deep :scratch:, know some sellers do post in bubble wrap envelopes so maybe thats an option, haven't noticed any postage changes on ebay yet but the price change only happened last week so we'll see,can't believe its now nearly as cheap to post abroad :hate-shocked:
