This is reblooming, and towering over everything else at 37". The flower is 9". I am trying to cross it with some doubles.

I have been trying to decide what direction I want to take my TET program: patterns, doubles, or applique throats. Maybe I can combine patterns and doubles, so I have been making some exploratory tries.

Stunning!!! I see it has a few teeth too, now is there a double with teeth?
I saw a lovely seedling of Margo Reeds today on a daylily spider chat site, a cross of 'Planet Max' x 'Skinwalker' lovely soft lilac and pink combo but with an applique throat!!, really must get round to ordering Skinwalker :-)

There are doubles with teeth, but I cann't remember their names.
I was looking at trimmerdaylily.com and last year's introductions. There are 2 (Calico Blue Baby and Star Bright) that are fantastic. He used Apple Swirl and a small blue eyed one to get them. You might want to try Carpathian Cavalier x Apple Swirls. Along these lines, I put into a bag today, 34 seeds of Buster Ruster X Moose Man; and it looks like Crystal Blue Persuasion x Apple Swirl has taken.

Another cracker , wish I had more space I suppose I could plant up where I keep the bees ????

While bees will visit daylilies, they don't do it unless there is little else available.

My season still hasn't ended. Julie Newmar is going strong, I found another seedling of the (Blue Eyed Bandit x Life is a Highway) group has put up a scape, I made 6 crosses, and harvested 2 pods. The pod I am most interested in is (Dakar x Open My Eyes)[one of my almost black with a darker eye] X Life is a Highway [5 seeds].

I wasn't thinking about the bees they have more than enough, I was thinking about me and a seedling bed lol
