BW-1996-1AA |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This was another seedling bought in 1996. I suppose beauty is always in the eye of the beholder, as some seem to discount the looks of this bloom. To me it has remained a part of my gardens and landscape for 20+ years now with no regrets. | ||
BW1996-10 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is the 10th of the purchased seedlings of 1996. It has a pleasing form of wide petals and sepals, and a rich shade of violet red. The throat is a green bursting into yellow radiating onto the petals. What is remarkable is the height of the scapes: ranging from 42 to 46 inches to the blooms. The 2nd picture shows a 3-year clump at peak bloom. | ||
BW1996-2 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is the third of ten seedlings I bought in 1996. I do not know or care what the judges or critics think: I buy a plant because it appeals to me, not them! This is a huge bloom, widely flared, tall, and has appealing colors. Visitors are in awe of its size & appearance. | ||
BW1996-3 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
Another in the BW line of purchased daylily seedlings; containing large wide petals, and a pastel cream of coloring. Notheing spectacular, but well worth the $5.00 I paid for it back in 1996! | ||
BW1996-6 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is also a purchased seedling from 1996. I bought it primarily because of the wide sepals and the hint of apple blossom pink in its colors. It makes a beautiful bloom, and in this case the extra petal and sepal. | ||
Daylily Seedling BW1996-4 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
I bought this plant as a seedling in 1996 from a professional grower who dabbled in hybridizing. At that time the grower was nationally known and published an annual catalog. The blooms are large and open well after cool mornings. | ||
EL2003-A11 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is another seedling I kept over the years, and like some others I cannot quite get an accurate picture of the correct color. It reminds me of concord grape somewhat, but the real life color is much superior to this.About 24" bloom stems (OK Scapes for the experts). | ||
EL2003-A13 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is among my first attempts at hybridizing in daylilies. I saved this one primarily because of shape and colors, and it blooms well too. It is heavily veined and crinkled and this particular bloom has gone through hail storms and the color is ways off: It is a true pink. Better pictures are being added later as time permits. (Weather is always a problem here for photography. Being an amateur doesn't help either!) | ||
EL2003-A7 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is a better quality picture showing a more accurate representation of the color. I am also posting a second photo to match the two blooms. Both are in shade with sunlight overhead. So there is ample lighting, but not strong. | ||
EL2004-A15 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is another seedling from my early days in pollen daubing. It seemed as though I waited an eternity back then for a seedling to sprout and grow. This process often required three years minimum. This one was a personal hit as soon as I saw it. It is also the picture I posted on the generic data base page years ago on August 9, 2008.

EL2006-A24 |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is one of my very own seedlings. 2006 indicates the year it first bloomed. I cannot remember the parentage, but I think it involves BW-1996-1AA, another seedling that I bought somewhere. I was aiming for pastel colors with soft pink. The scapes can reach almost four feet on some clumps. | ||
EL2006ESP |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is a seedling that I can only describe as a bee pod since I do not recall having pollinated for it. Having said this I have not kept good records of any of them. Another point; my camera does not accurately get the colors correct, especially the red shades. This bloom is more pastel than what is shown in the picture. And I refuse to Photoshop color on any picture. | ||
EL2008-C |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
I am almost certain this came from a bee pod near or on Gentle Shepherd, but I cannot be 100% sure. Another fact is that it is not always this shade of white, but may have a little pink or peach blush on the petals. It is well worth keeping which I have done since 2008. | ||
EL2008-H |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is another one of those seedlings that I've lost track of origin. I do not think it was a bee pod because few of those were saved: usually I cut them off green and let them fall to the soil. This picture is just a little under color correctness because it should show more of the pastel pink influence (of which I like). | ||
EL2011-A |
Have Daylily Seedlings |
This is one I've played around with for five years; lost it; then found it and now have a couple of fans with noteworthy blooms. Or at least in my eyes they are noted worthy. I guess I like the dark coloring. But among 50,000+ daylilies who is ever going to notice? |
