Daylily 'Indian Sky' x 'Brer Rabbit's Baby'

All the seedlings from this cross are completely different so far, although all are very tall, really like the green throat on this and the form, nice blank canvas to add to do you think Wylie?
6inch flowers.

This is lovely. I would use its pollen, if not with the blue eyed ones, then the Witches.

Thanks I'll do that :-)
I have a few pods developing, more than last year anyway , fingers crossed, I tried not to do to many as I won't be able to decide which to grow!!!, I did do several of each if a few flowers were open on ones I really wanted to try so I should hopefully get one pod develop.

I just went out to check on everything, it finally stopped drizzling. I came back with 1 ripe pod and 2 tags for crosses that didn't take. I make a lot of crosses because a lot don't make it. Only about 25 days left before I stop doing crosses for the year. Right now there are 14 bags of DIP seeds and 45 of TETs.

Oh my goodness that's so many!!!!
I've crossed several with 'Lurch', I love the patterning in the eye of that one and the huge flower, I have pods forming using its pollen on 'Destined to See', 'Blue Eyed Butterfly' and 1 on 'Squirrel Beater', only did one cross on the last 2 with them both being new but will try their pollen on a few others, I also tried the cross you suggested with 'Wild Horses' x 'Black Eye', the pollen on Wild Horses didn't take but the other way round did, a pods forming :-), its so exciting, also did 2 crosses of 'John Benoot' x 'Mildred Mitchell' and both of them are forming pods, think my thinking there was even better edge lol.

The JB x MM should have a really nice double edge.
