More of selected seedlings

Note : I resently realized if you click on photo it will enlarge if you care to see it bigger.


A really nice near black, a profile view showing it nice edge further down. It holds well in full sun.














These are mostly from other years. I have incorporated them into my breeding efforts.







Profile of one at the beginning. Look at that edge, bud count is good too.















What a clear color. Skinny sepals though, maybe sepals will improve with maturity of plant...













This last one was probably my first wow seedling after I really got serious about hybridizing spring of 2004 once my recovery was far enough along that I could start working in the garden again. Ones like this helps me justify the year round work to get good seedling blooms annually.

Polypetal











I have had a few that bloom polypetal + often enough to be noted, but none do it much more than 50% of total blooms. I have added a normal bloom form of one so you can see difference.

Blue Eye zoned daylilies and such























































































Here are ones that in my opion are important in breeding a blue color eye zone in quest to ultimately expand the eye zone to whole face of daylily. In other words a blue daylily.
Since I like violet, blue and lavender colors this is where I orginally was concentrating my breeding, but the teethy edges are more cutting edge and blue has been a quest for many for years so lots of effort going into this area already.

Doubles






















I mentioned doubles. Well here are a few.












Even More Teeth











I am diligently working to get some color shifts in toothy forms from my breeding. As you may note my best share a small color range. Other colors have shown more or less what I call serrated edge ( teethy lite) instead of the more dramatic bold teeth and edge. I'll get there if I just keep plugging away.

Other teethies











More 2008 selects











Selects 2008











I have become fairly obseesed with teethy and tendriled edges on daylilies and am striving to advance that form. I work on breeding blue eye, lavenders, purples, and violets. I prefer full forms but I am not repulsed by UFO's, and spider forms. Any doubles are incidental and I can trace many back to my breeding to my selected seedlings grown from gift seeds from my daylily friend Sara.




Here are some more plants selected from 2008 blooms.
