      I have a FFO today... there is one section I planted late last year, and it has taken a lot longer for it to start producing. Here is Better Lucky Than Good x Ice Cream Emperor.
      Better Lucky Than Good x Ice Cream Emperor.JPG
      You might think it looks like Better Lucky Than Good x Facepaint - my other red on red TET, but this is 6.5 " and has a ruffled edge.
      Even larger is Gay Cravat x Whirlpool Galaxy:
      Gay Cravat x Whirlpol Galaxy.JPG
      7.5" across. I got to go crazy with "Womanizer" today - 6 times. It is all Simbad's fault-- ever since she mentioned "Master of Disguise", it led to Dragonfly Dawn and how I have the plants to do all that. So 7 crosses yesterday with Life Is A Highway, 6 today, and I should have another Life Is.. tomorrow. Dragonfly Dawn seeds are selling on the LilyAuction for $30 - $50 for 5 seeds.
      But look at how one of my Amber Rhum x Kazoo reblooms is progressing:
      Amber Rhum x Kazoo.JPG
      The eye is wider and the edge has a small ruffle.
      Reblooming is Geneva Top Notch:

        I always blame Simbad as well :lunapic 130165696578242 5:for telling me about Ebay !!!

        Wylie I love the intense colours on your how long does your season go on to .

        I have lots of new ones about to flower soon , lack of space forces me to do no crosses as I have to make space for all the ones you gave me.

          Lovely to see your 'Jellyfish Jealousy' don't think mine will flower this year I had to move it this spring it was getting shaded out by another daylily , its growing much better now but no scapes yet, I'll just have to look at yours :wub2:.

          I think you are right I do have SDC and the one I put on here is a single fan in a pot spare small fan I potted on (was in the greenhouse until last week) the other is in the border much bigger and coming into bud , that was two years ago Simbad how time flies , JJ has 3 scapes so when I get a multi bloom:snork: I will put another one on so I can share with you:heehee: , I am surprised yours never flowered as the one I got from Kate last year flowered within a couple of months.

          "All I want for Christmas" the photo doesn't do it justice its out standing

          and Dream Keeper has to be the star up to now , it flowerd again yesterday 7 on one scape
          not bad !

          The colours on wylie are so more intense do you agree ?

          Pink Enchilada still waiting for it to open

          "Summer dancing bird" the colours are so faded considering the 1st year they flowered and how intense they were so what should I do ?

          Wild Horses is in bloom I will get another photo and compare to last year to see if the colour is deeper in the eye of the flower , I really gave them a good 2 inch dressing with horse manure and more Seaweed feed and water considering they are under the front window that does get very dry .

          My season has been starting in April and goes to October, but something manages to bloom every month. In the fall I will start giving away the seedlings I don't like, and move the few that remain to one area. Have to make room for next years crop. But I can see that I am getting more I would like to keep than there is room for.:noidea:

            It did flower Spruce for two years beautifully but last year 'Swirling Water' another of Kates lovely ones grew like a triffid :hate-shocked: and started to smother it so only a couple of flowers last year thats why its been moved can't risk loosing it ;), my fault for not leaving enough room :redface: trying to squeeze too many in, got to move a couple more this autumn for the same reason :heehee:
            Agree all Wylies are stunning :wub2:

            'Pink Enchilada' had 2 huge flowers open at once yesterday its doing so well I love it, thanks Spruce :dbgrtmb:

            We'll have to compare 'Wild Horse' pictures I have it too but mines nowhere near flowering yet.

              Try taking the photos in the morning. After baking in the sun & UV levels of 9 and 10 [here], they can look sad by the evening.:ideaIPB:

                And my favourite, have I said that before :heehee: , this ones in the middle of the daylily bed which is quite hard to get too at the minute(as you can tell by the fact it hasn't been deadheaded) so not a very good picture had to zoom in.

                  I bet you could get something really nice if you crossed Tomorrow's Song with Magic of Oz:ideaIPB:

                      Ooo yes bet that would make something very nice :dancy:, thankyou Wylie you have the best ideas any advice on crosses is much appreciated :dbgrtmb: .
                      Yesterday I went mad with the 'Sanford Starsearch' pollen crossed it with 'Inner View', 'Nile Crane, 'Pretty Miss' and 'Crintonic Shadowlands' worth a try to see if it passes on that lovely patterning also tryed a cross of the one you suggested 'Sink into your Eye's' and 'Spacecoast Behaviour Pattern',my first flower head dropped of on 'Lacy Doily' that I crossed with Spruces 'Pink Enchilada' no pod there might try it the other way round and see what happens.
                      Right off to see whats flowering today looks colourful out there :hapydancsmil:
