Growing Daylilies Together

1.

 

 

Rachel Steidl- “I can give you the parentage of each plant. I do not have stats on these, as they are new seedlings

that have not been tested outside yet. This one is (Time in a Bottle x Ocean View) x Rings of Wonder.”

 

2.

 

Phillip and Carol Sims- ”This is the information: This is the information: God Save The Queen X Blue Gold Macaw

(The puppy moved the tags, but I'm 98% certain this is the cross.) We have about 6 seedlings out of this cross,

with three of them blooming for the first time this season. Scapes stood at 23 inches with a 5 inch bloom this year,

but we will have to see what happens next year. I has firm substance. Can't give you a good idea on bud count

or branching as the plant is very, very young, and it is planted in a very tough environment behind a storage

shed under some fruit trees. I said the parentage was GSTQ x Blue Gold Macaw, but it might have been Dana

Townsend x Blue Gold Macaw. As I said, the tag is missing there. Sorry - I thought I knew both parents, but

as I walked through the row today, I saw GSTQ x Beaks and Bills much further down the row in the undisturbed section.”

William Marchant- “This one is also a first year seedling and is a cross of JUST FABULOUS x

tetra KALEIDOSCOPE EFFECT. It is a 5.25" flower on a 21" scape. Also a rebloomer.”

Don Barrett-

 

 

5.

 

Rachel Steidl- “This one is George Jets On x Dragonfly in Flight.”

 

6.

 

William Marchant-“First year seedling so no information other than scape height, size,

and parentage. This one is a cross of (EDGE OF MADNESS x LINDA SIERRA) x tetra OUT OF THE BLUE.

Has been double 100% so far. 5" flower on a 28" scape. A rebloomer."

 

7.

 

Joe Zhang-”It's the first year this one bloomed on a single fan (later split by the scape and

became two by the end of the bloom season). The cross is Red Friday X Horns. The size of the

bloom is about 5" to 5.5". Scape height - 23". I'd expect its stats to improve as it matures into

a clump since both parents are bigger and taller.”

 

8.

 

William Marchant- “12-11 (YELLOW MONKEY x ROSE F KENNEDY) x KALEIDOSCOPIC INTRIGUE."

 

9.

 

William Marchant-”12-32 HEAVENLY YELLOW LION x PASTOR Z.”

 

10.

 

Dale and Darlene Dionne - “Out of Fantastic Fringe and Forestlake Ragamuffin. Scapes are 26 inches

with very nice Bud Count and Branching. Set pods very easily. Bloom is 6 inches and displays teeth and fringe.”

1. Lyle Dye: “The seedling is from a cross of FORTUNE'S DEAREST X BLISSFUL BLACKBERRY PIE 36" scape, 7"bloom and 18

bud count. I will decide which form I will register this one at the end of this season.”

 

 

 

 

 

2. William Marchant: “First year seedling so no information other than scape height, size, and parentage. This one is a cross of (EDGE

 OF MADNESS x LINDA SIERRA) x tetra OUT OF THE BLUE. Has been double 100% so far. 5" flower on a 28" scape. A

rebloomer.

 

 

3. Robert Rioux (Second month in a row in the Top Ten Snapshot): “About this seedling, I must say that it's a mid-late bloomer with

over six inch flower on a 20 - 24 inch scape. All my hybridizations for over twenty years were on my external hard disk that is out of use

since this spring, so I lost all my parentages for my seedlings. This one has Petit's FEATURING THE GOLD and PRICELESS in it's

pod parents. For the pollen, I don't remember.”

 

 

4. Di Decaire: "5.5" flower, 32" height, tetraploid, dormant, 4 way branching with 22 buds, EM, lemon yellow self with plum and

cream pattern, some metallic glints".

6. Dale and Darlene Dionne (This is the second time this seedling has been in the Top Ten Snapshot (April): “Out of Fantastic Fringe

and Forestlake Ragamuffin. Scapes are 26 inches with very nice Bud Count and Branching. Set pods very easily. Bloom is 6 inches

and displays teeth and fringe.”

 

 

7. Clyde Grammon: "This is a Spacecoast Sea Shells X Catcher In The Eye seedling--(CIE is the pod parent of Sea Shells). 32", 5 1/2",

22 buds, 4-way branching, rebloomer. Lavender base, with deep purple eye, intense applique throat on petals and sepals. Plant habit is

very handsome with considerable rust resistance. This is its third season, slow increaser. But, otherwise SUPERB!) The other two

seedlings that were in the top ten previously, are BOTH its offspring--with even better branching--from the ground up."

 

 

8. William Marchant: “This one is also a first year seedling and is a cross of JUST FABULOUS x tetra KALEIDOSCOPE EFFECT.

It is a 5.25" flower on a 21" scape. Also a rebloomer.”

 

 

9. Robert Rioux: The parents are (CAMEROON'S TWISTER X NO BOYS ALLOWED)  XX  ( Nid De Roses - unregistered

seedling of mine but on MyDaylilies -X LABYRINTH OF SOLITUDE ). Dormant, mid-season bloomer, over 30 inch scapes,

having about 20 buds. The flowers are lightly cascading and have lightly pinched petals. The texture is heavy and the color

doesn't fade in hot noon sun. The color is a unique blend of pink-fuchsia, paler to whitish water mark and a deep green throat.

 

 

 

10. Chris Rea: “The few stats that I do have on this seedling will not mean very much. The poor plant had been pushed out of the

water pattern and was not doing very good when it bloomed. But we will see what the future brings for this little beauty. The stats

that I have are 5" bloom 24" scape and about 20 buds.”
