Daylily "Hemerocallis 2013 S W S

I was checking everything out on JazzSi's photos, and I ran across one that was very intriguing - a child of Shady Lady, were instead of going for the elongated eye, it was a small, tight eye on a 7" spider [see Nashville Lights].

 

Another mutant, lurking in my front yard:

Of course it is Buster Ruster, reblooming. I tried to cross it to Scatterbrain x Big Kiss:

A brief rain shower came along and got everything wet, so I waited for the pollen on B.R. to dry before using it.
Here is my main stippled type, and of course it is called Stippled Statement:

A little wet, but you can see the stippling. It is also developing the teeth it is supposed to have.
A new seedling, finally flowering is Canadian Border Patrol x Fringy:

 

Buster Ruster .
Like the Canadian Border Patrol cross I wouldn't expect that at all though you'd expect it to pass on the dark eye wouldn't you ? just shows the nice surprises you can get

 

Double I will have to look that one up Buster Ruster

 

I got Buster Ruster from Sheila last fall.
This is the second seedling of Canadian Border Patrol x Fringy to flower, and neither have a dark eye nor do they have a green edge that I had hoped for.

 

Don Herrell is capable of producing "regular" flowers, and they are just as nice as the odd ones:

I saw this and wondered if there was anything I could cross with it. Sadly, I haven't a clue, but I think I was distracted by another one. Back on May 7, one of the Angel Fairy Tern x Judge Nancy sdlgs had opened with unimpressive results:

Nice ribs, but only 5" across, and there was a better one that opened in another section. I wasn't expecting much when I saw it was going to rebloom. A 3rd sdlg had rebloomed, just as ordinary as its first time. So I was very suprised when I saw this today:

9" across Now it is another keeper.
There is one seedling I have to keep deadheaded, simply because the weight of everything will cause it to tilt. This is 3 flowers on the same scape of (you guessed it) Amethyst Reflections x Unk.

 

Bet you can't wait to get up in a morning Wylie it must be like Christmas every day, yet another set of pictures

 

'Crintonic Shadowlands' thought the eye looked really nice on this one today.

Another mutant 'La Charmante'

And I hate it when this one starts blooming its always the last to start so it means the season will soon be over , unless we get any rebloom of course .
'Final Touch'

 

You will know the feeling soon - won't you be getting several seedlings next year? Crintonic Shadowlands was new for me this year and it looks like I have to wait until next year for my first flower.
Looks like a hoverfly party in your yard today.

 

Yes can't wait for next years seedlings , the ones on the allotment are coming on great and I planted a few more out just yesterday, ones that weren't very big in the spring, mainly as I need the pots for all your seedlings from this year .
Crintonic Shadowlands didn't flower the first year here either.
Oh yes swarms of hoverflies at the moment no pollen left at 8o'clock this morning!!!!!, they're up earlier than me , no chance of any crosses today.

 

Never seen so many hoverflies here, they only appeared after the rain & pollen beetles too.

 

Finally some rain, but that means I have an excuse to not pollenate anything
What is open is not one of the mutant crowd, but an actual poly. Fuchsia Four x Grape Splash. Both parents are polys, and I really like this one.:

 

Very nice, lovely with the raindrops
Another late one open today 'Parade of Peacocks'

And 'Magical Swirls' showing its patterning better today , some very dopey bees around today

 

Magical Swirls gets a from me.

 

Here is one that I have been watching:

If you said; Oh no - not another photo of that Amethyst Reflections x Unk; you would be wrong! This is the Magic of Oz x Ashee Dashee double They do look alike, but this is more spidery. Singles the whole time of its inital bloom, now it is about 50% double.
I've mentioned before how patterns can change from flower to flower on the same plant; well Wild Horses x Heavy Metal has an exceptional look today:

It is the pattern on the sepals - almost a cathedral arch, that sets this one apart.
