Daylily "Hemerocallis 2013 S W S

Sammy Russell is finally chucking out buds!!

 

Nice photos JazzSi. My favourite of the 3 is Mary Ethel Anderson

 

"Foxears"
(Roberts-N., 2002)

99% sure need ti find the label I pushed in the soil

 

I remember you like this one last year Spruce the flowers are only small 3-4inch, let me know if you'd like a piece in autumn.

Think my favourite of JazzSi's today has to be Dizzy Miss Lizzie

Fox's ears is a lovely one Spruce

I went a bit mad with the pollen today(I blame you Wylie ) whether any of my crosses will be any good we'll see, After seeing the beautiful 'Master of Disguise' on a website and finding I had both the parents had to have a go today maybe won't get anything as good but worth a try
So I crossed 'Destined to See' with this one 'Julie Newmar'

Then I crossed 'Tomorrow's Song to this one 'Milady Greensleeves' why I don't know its my first year I'm allowed to be impulsive

I crossed this one 'Emmaus', a newbie last year and first flower, to 'Apple Swirl'

And this one 'Watchyl Digital Scream' to 'All American Windmill'

A first time flowering for this one can see this is going to be a favourite another huge flowered one, 'Frilly Bliss' another of Pollies beauties

 

new flowers of Swallow tailed Kite

 

simbad all looking good about time you done some crosses I am glad Wylie has spurned you on
Emmaus not bad to get it to flower so quickly still only a single fan on mine

Frilly Bliss is a new one to me and my Dream Keeper was from Pollie as well we will have to email her so she can look at her kids on here that have been adopted out , and yes has to be Dizzy Miss Lily JazzSi all look great

I felt bad I didn't make any crosses today, but Core Values should be open again tomorrow and the newest one, Life Is A Highway should be open in the next couple of days.
Destined To See x Julie Newmar should be great! Did you see Dragonfly Dreams (on the AHS site) or Entwined On the Vine? I have had a few problems getting seed to set on Destined To See, but one looks like it finally took - DTS x Womanizer.
The others make sense - you are trying to get more spider types. Finding a direction can be hard. For me it seems to be doubles with edges and doubles with applique throats in the TETs, and doubles with spiders in the DIPs. I have reviewed my list of crosses I'm waiting on to ripen, and tried to figure out a pattern so I can concentrate on what I like. For next year, I am trying to make some DIP doubles, and I have 8 seedlings growing of an Unknown X Lacy Doily. The Unk is:


I'm thinking of doing teeth on doubles, which is good since one of my favourites is developing really well, and after a day in the sun looks like this:

It looks a lot like It's A Miracle, but this is Evermore Lights x Spiney Sea Urchin.I have crossed It's A Miracle to one of my new applique throated sdlgs, and will be using this one the same way.

 

Wylie both look amazing

 

I like Colorado Moon Fire - I have it in a sdlg; Colorado Moon Fire x Sulphrite Prism. This colour with a black eye and edge.

 

You're right Wylie I do like the spiders the bigger and more patterned the better, think what I'd really like to eventually breed would be a good double spider, or even better a spider with an applique throat, as love those as well, I say eventually it could take a very long time
What I wanted to ask you Wylie is on Tinkers where it says pod and pollen fertility there's also sometimes a number in brackets what does the number mean please
I have my first flower opening today on 'Spacecoast Behaviour Pattern' looks like it could fully open

 

The numbers are the number of children where the flower was used either as pod parent or pollen parent. The number usually equals the total number of children. (That number isn't always updated and you get more children listed.)

 

Well 'Spacecoast Behaviour Pattern' didn't quite make it lots more buds though but here's an idea of what it'll look like, I'm in love

'Wide Eye Bayou'

Hubby's favourite 'Big Bird' and friends.
