Daylily seedling

This one was huge, 7 inch plus, three year old,
This one may get bigger with age, and the color is a clear soft pink

Does this one poly often?

Newbie alert!

By "poly" do you mean get 4 petals on the blooms?

Is that a trait you can cross for or a freak occurance?

Poly tepals and poly sepals are an occasional and happy occurrence. My daylilies usually poly the first few blooms of the season ...

A freak of nature with this one. The only bloom to go polytepal was the maiden bloom, no succeeding bloom showed it. I could not get the plant to set pods either.

Too bad about the reluctant pod - maybe it was the hot dry weather and it will be better next year.

caliloo - There are polytepal flowers and the AHS recognizes them in flower shows and registrations. They must polytepal 50% of the time to be registered as such. There are several hybridizers working on them - do a google on happymoosegardens and you will see he has several polys. I think Petite intro'd one this year as a poly.

Very nice picture. I love them big!
Here is a picture of Longstocking polying. Only time it polyed for me.

Also, I have a seeding I don't think I posted earlier. I'm not enthralled with it , but hubby likes it.
John Peat x Border Music.

I'm with your husband, nice seedling. I particularly like the width of the petals and sepals on it. Also like the bloom in back of it for the same reason. Is that a seedling or is it registered?

Do you have anything on property that has tet. LAVENDER BLUE BABY or BELLA SERA in it. If the seedling were mine, I would try to emphasize the blueness in that eye. Also, was this a first year seedling bloom?

Hi Jaydee,
It is a seedling behind JP x BM. It is either Buzz Saw x Victorian Lace (I think this is it) or possibly Mandalay bay music x Mandalay Bay Music.

Both are first year seedlings.

Sorry, no Lavenday blue baby or Bella Sera on property. But I do have some seedlings with one or the other as a parent that should bloom this year. I do have Steely Blue Eyes, but I like my seedling better.

I'm more into the reds and pinks and creams. The blue just seems so illusive to me. But I took a look at Lambersons website and I'm loving some of his 2005 intros.

I LOVE the VICTORIAN LACE cross but since VL is one of my favorite daylilies, I love all the kids. If and when I get some time I will post some of my VL kids.

I don't have either tet LBB or BS, but am bringing in a couple of kids out of them last fall and this spring. It definitely is not a goal of mine but I have a couple Hanson plants that show great bluish eyes so thought a little hard dormant crosses with those would be worth pursuing. When I looked at all my seedlings blooming the field was rather bland because creams and pinks are my two favorite colors. I definitely need to broaden my horizons.

When your seedlings bloom this year, something will pop up that needs to go to your cross.

Buzz Saw x Victorian Lace

What a beauty!!

What zone are you in Sharon?

toomanyanimals · Post by **toomanyanimals** » Feb 03, 2006 5:10 pm

Hi Ed,
I'm zone 6a, thanks to the lakes.
But we have property in Alpena and I would like to transfer some daylilies up there. So I'm paying close attention to what you say does well in your zone 4.
Thunder and Lightening you say?
I have that one, would be great to take to the lake.

Here are a couple of my VICTORIAN LACE seedlings. It is proven to be a wonderful parent and I have kept all of the seedlings from it in some of the crosses I did. This first one is SEMINOLE WIND x VICTORIAN LACE.

This is a first year bloom.

Again, this is a first year bloom - SHERRY LANE CARR x VICTORIAN LACE

jay dee · Post by **jay dee** » Feb 03, 2006 6:48 pm

One more - SAN LUIS REGAL x VICTORIAN LACE - another first year bloom.

VL makes pretty regardless of who she is bred to - very dominant for ruffled, fancy daylilies.

Very nice jay dee! I especially like the first seedling.
I hope to have some more vic. lace seedlings bloom this year. Last year I was into the whites and creams.
My most ruffled to bloom was a cross - Pearl Cove x Green Mystique. The 2 blooms couldn't even open. I helped them and used their pollen.

I hope they open better this year. Nope, no picture, all you could see was a bunch of closed ruffles.

What are the bloom sizes of your Vic. Lace seedlings?

Ed_B · Post by **Ed_B** » Feb 03, 2006 10:49 pm

Thunder & Lightning does very well for me. Very nice garden color.
What I like the most is almost all blooms open
perfectly with great color.
I have been crossing it with a little of everthing. I should see some results this year.
It can be touchy for pods, "for me at least" so do multiple same crosses to be sure you get the one you want.
