But first: last night, after 10 hours of off and on rain, some heavy, I brought in these 3 daylilies for my wife to enjoy. Hold Your Horses (left), Dotted Petals (bottom), and Painter's Splash held up beautifully.
Connect the Dots first bloom (Jerabek 2002, 27MRe5.75 Dor Tet). Bred in the North (Indianapolis). Midseason? I've got lots of registered midseason cultivars blooming already in early June, right alongside Early and EM. Will lates be blooming by July 4?
Exotic Etching first bloom (Pat Stamile 05, 19M4.5 Dor Tet). I'd love to get a stipple with a complex eye like this!
But THIS is what I used on Connect the Dots: Sunday Sandals first bloom today. Grace/Smith 03, 22MRe4 Sev Tet. Love that double edge!
Edged in Red first bloom (Carpenter 03, 26EMRe5.25 Evr Tet) got a dose of Connect the Dots pollen.
This view of Tooth shows the extent of the "sharks tooth edge" on two of the petals. This was state of the art just 10 years ago! Whata country!
First Child Within is NOT one of the 90% that the registration says will be doubles. But it's pretty as a single too. Gail Stamile 04, 17M3 Sev Dip. This got pollen from Mark's Bouquet (also a double) in my quest for a small double stipple.
First Spacecoast Dixie Chick today. Got 3 blooms, but too far apart on the clump to get a group shot. All 3 got pollinated with Connect the Dots.
Chama Valley (Dan Hansen 2000 24EERe7 Sev Tet) was really expensive for years because of its crispate sepals, but you can get it this year for $10.
Fancy Face first bloom is a bit more pinched than normal, but that didn't interfere with it's virility, I hope. Registered 1994, this is one hot 16 year old! Pollenated it with Mark's Bouquet.
Bridgeton Icing first day got 3 blooms! A classy color, but of course it would look better stippled. So all 3 got Connect the Dots (tet) pollen.
Today I got enough Magic Attraction to start an amusement park! Salter 05 28MRe6 Sev Tet. All 3 got Connect the Dots pollen. It's amazing how far 6 stamens can go!
This is my prettiest seedling so far this year, and it's from an open pollenated seed. In 2008 I planted only half a dozen 2007 planned crosses and about 100 open pollenated pods that I thought might be worth the effort. So far the O.P. seedlings have been unremarkable, most often looking just like the known parent (self pollenated). So when I look this up tomorrow the pod parent wil probably look just like this.
Web Browser first bloom. Stamile 02 32ERe12 Tet Sev. Not trying to stipple this one; I just got it for its size.
Three Sunshine in Clouds. First bloom was about a week ago. Double click on the photo, and it will open up full size in your browser. Then you can see this is cream with yellow veins.
Got FOUR Happy Hooligans today, but NO usable pollen and only ONE pistil in the bunch! It's the middle one here. Put Mark's Bouquet on that one, trying to see what double stipple by double stipple gives me. HH pollen on MB a couple of days ago failed to set a pod.
First bloom on Green eyed Triangle, a twenty year old Carpenter. 20ERe5 Evr Dip. Neutral base color, nice throat, let's try to stipple it.
Finally, first Bety Warren Woods (Munson 87). This won't get crossed, and it probably won't even get moved to the new house this summer. It's not something I'd dig up and compost, just not worth moving.
