Another FFO, first year seedling. TET, 6"
There is no official name for when the petals curl up, as these do.

Another lovely one it almost looks like a new form!!, I love it when the petals do this and these are really extreme so you can see all the sepals, I can't stop looking at it........
Oh heck Wylie that's 2 of yours on my faves in one day ;-)

Squirrel Beater has the curl like this, but not to this extent. Of course you knew that the (Wild Horses x Heavy Metal) line would show up. I'm hoping that curl stays wit it next year.

I love this "tubes" the petals formed. You have another winner!

There was a lovely curly one like 'Squirrel Beater' on Druid City Daylilies a new intro for 2015 not named yet, with the curls and lovely patterning on the petals and sepals, I follow them on facebook :-), in fact they have some really lovely patterned ones you'd love Wylie.

Thanks Daglelie - it really is a winner!
Simbad: That is William Marchand. He is selling some of his 2015 intros on the Lily Auction at $100 - $150 minimum. He also sells seeds from his crosses, but they start at $10

I thought you'd probably know who he was ;-), yes I saw those on the lily auction he posted a link on Facebook,didn't see the seeds though off to look :-)

He doesn't have seeds right now, but there have been a few offered, and I'm sure there will be more. But I think I know where you can get some really good ones ;)

Only looking Wylie, your seedlings are much prettier ;-)
I've collected a couple more lots of seeds 6 yesterday from a cross of Mildred Mitchell x Destined to See and 8 from Slipped my Disco x Lurch.

I had only 1 cross with Mildred Mitchell this year - the 4 petal one X Spacecoast Sea Shells (5 seeds); and it didn't make my keep list. I bagged today 11 seeds of (Incendiary x Catcher in the Eye [applique]) X Strikingly Dramatic, also not on my keep list. ;)

8 Sep, 2014

 

OMG !!!!! :-))), you must have some amazing crosses for that not to be on your keep list!! :-)

8 Sep, 2014

 

There is El Desperado (5), Amethyst Island (8), and Whale Tails X Strikingly Dramatic. Crystal Blue Persuasion X Lois Burns (2), (Yabba Dabba Doo), and Apple Swirl. The next time it rains, I'll make a recommended list for you of collected and waiting to ripen seeds for you.
