A tray of blooms for pollenation use. I thought group looked nice so I took a picture and layered names on photo. Left click on any photo to see more details

Left click photos give more detailed views. I've been really bad about taking photos this year. But here are a few that deserved sharing. Lots in the yellow and cream maybe I'll post some of those later.

I can hardly believe it is May and I only had 4 blooms open today. I usually cant count the blooms by now. These caught my eye but its too early to select anything. They are out of breeding with "Toothy".

Finally spoted a few scapes. I generally would have been a couple of weeks into hybridizing by now. What a late season.
I pulled empty pots in new seedlings area and realized losses were not so bad after all. Only 22 out of the fiest block of 400 I worked through. Still I genearally only lose a couple after they reach size in seedling trays that I pot them up. Other blocks look about the same.

No scapes at all. I generally would have had limited blooms for several weeks by now. I see they changes date for local annual daylily show by two weeks. I wonder if national AHS convention short ways north of here will have good blooms during garden visits.
I was looking over seedlings started over the winter, wow I have lost a lot of them. Not sure why, never had such huge losses in the past. Still have thousands that should bloom for first time this spring.

It put up several scapes already and even though nice just didn't have teeth I was shooting for and was destined to be culled. Had a scape up after I had started dumping unselected daylilies from section it was in so I decided to set it aside an give it one aditional chance to get my attention. I did. So now it is carried over to see what it will do once its a more mature plant.

More teeth
