I love this one easy to grow strong scapes lovely strong colour

 

all looking good your Turkey Lurkey looks mint , well done you a quality plant alwayscomes up trumps

I had, I thought a new one flowering today turned out to be Frans Hals , but still looks great I have put a new named label in it was meant to be "Wild & Wonderful" I will look back who I got that from.


Spruce

 

Timed myself this morning Wylie 40mins so we're not at the peak yet that took an hour last year and there are far more scapes this year and some really good size clumps

 

Aaah probably ebay I tried to buy 'Wild and Wonderful' twice from the same seller on there and both were wrong plants, the first time it was one I really liked so kept it had another go and still wrong so gave up .
Loving the turkey

 

Yep green with envy , but I'd forgot its a rebloomer so there's still hope

 

You're right, Spruce, I do like First Knight. It seems to have no trouble passing on its ruffled edge. I got Fun In the Sunshine and Blushed With Emerald just to use their edges. Point of View looks like you might need some sunglasses.

 

This clump of 'Nile Crane's' looking pretty good today just a shame the grass is frazzling up like straw.

 

Nile Crane -

Point of view is a cracker colour for hybridising ? and a real strong grower

I have been adding all the Hybridising info hoping it may help in your choice of what to use

Simbad Nile crane looks fab as well when did this one arrive on the scene ?

 

A seedling flowering on the allotment today, one of the bargain ones I bought a couple of years ago, think this is a keeper a few others flowering aren't so good and will be going, did I just say that thought I'd have trouble composting any

 

I've got two clumps of it that look like this

 

amazing

here the bits I was looking for

Hemerocallis 'Nile Crane' (Nile Crane Daylily) - Another great hybrid daylily introduced by Munson in 1978. This tetraploid is evergreen and the rich green foliage matures to a height of 26 inches. It forms silver-lilac to bluish-lavender cream-throated blossoms with highlights of cream-flesh and chartreuse which start in midseason and repeat

 

Think of hybridizing like mixing paint - the soft colours will tone down a strong red or orange; and if you have something like Outrageous, it will help beef up a colour. Nect year you should be able to see the results I get from using a Joy of Life seedling that is a strong orange (I have several seedlings growing). You can also see some results on my new seedlings using Better Lucky Than Good that I have posted on this thread.
Simbad: I know how you feel - I have already gotten rid of a couple that were new this year, and some that I kept from last year aren't going to make it.

 

Best day for blooms so far this year.
