Ohhhh Rasberries in Cream... beautiful! As is Penny Sue - these are beautiful flowers, thanks everyone for posting them ~j
Raspberries and Cream is a dream!
Here is a couple of seedlings from OPEN MY EYES one of the better eyed and edged parents for me.
Put it with another good parent.
This is from another flower of Larry's as a pollen parent.
One of the better red eyes this past season.
If you haven't figured out, I am partial to reds. But all reds in a garden can get boring. But these ones you all are posting with the red eyes and edges... oh my, I am drooling! ~j
Love all the different color combinatons of these last four, Fred! The last two really catch my eye, and I see the pod parent of both is RASPBERRY STITCHING. I really love the sculpted veins showing in the eyes of both. And the first two have fantastic edgings, especially the one from CRAZY IVAN.
Fred your blooms are always so beautiful!!!
Fascinating to se what the different crosses bring to the table in these Pics. You can see things from both parents in them. Beautiful.
Debra - As always beautiful blooms...
MONTANA SKY- good parent!

Sib 4
Really beautiful seedlings, Lyle! And that last sib is totally different -- a double that is light pink with the gold edge -- amazing! And it's a really beautiful double, too.
Pixie - Nice bib!
Betty - That seedling has a 99% double bloom and if it continues next season I may register it. I don't hybridize for doubles but I won't compost a nice one either.....lol
Love that double.
Thanks Margaret - Last season I only bloomed out 2 seedlings that were double the other seedling I would rate at 80% still a decent percentage for a double..
This seedling wasn't as nice as the double above
Fred and Lyle, your results would make me want to hybridize if I didn't do so already. Congratulations to you both.
Lyle, both doubles show good potential. I love sib 4. I'd like to get it together with my spikey double.
Has anyone seen BONIBRAE SHARKY yet? A very impressive toothy double!!!

Check out the parentage, Lyle -- don't you have both of those?

Betja that double is gorgeous. thanks for sharing that.
Lyle those seedling are wonderful. Of course they have Montana Sky in them LOL. The seedling are each so different esp. #4. That might make an awesome cross with Leslie's, Better get the 2 together.
Bonibrae Sharky is super looking!!!!! I have both of those parents myself. Hmmmmm. Never have crossed them.
Leslie - The seedling # 4 is blooming Mid now and has a nice bloom it was a 100% double but I would never list a double more than 99%. I think your KAY DAY seedling is awesome, and would make a nice cross with Barbara Watts. If the seedling blooms out well this spring I will let you know.
Betty – I do have both of those daylilies. I have not seen a garden photo of Bonibrae Sharky the hybridizers photo looks great!
Steph – MONTANA SKY – Is one of those parents you can put difficult to cross daylilies with and get results. It is a hard evergreen in my garden. Leslie has a nice program and I would never have a problem sharing with her!
Lyle--You have a d-mail.
I am curious to see a garden shot of Bonibrae Sharky too. I like the confirmation of how a bloom looks "at home". I love the hybridizer's shot.
Lyle, I lost 2 fans of Barbara Watts when we moved north. It would have made a good cross. David's Kay Day is one of the parents of that seedling.
Leslie - Sorry you lost BW that one will be hard to replace..I have seen Bruce Kovach toothy double and it looks like it might work as well..
Bruce Kovach is going to be our guest speaker at one of our Feb. daylily meetings. He has some beautiful doubles.
I traded doubles with Bruce last year. He sent I Miss You and Walking Hand in Hand. I'm looking forward to using them. Seems like a nice guy.
In other doubles trading last year I got the following:
from Jamie Gossard - Blue Beetle and Heavenly Spider Monkey (from which he's gotten dbs)
from Dan Bachman - Boneless Chicken Ranch, Eat Our Wake Pinta Heads, Hummingbirds on
Vacation
from Tim Herrington - Dorothy and Toto, Raspberry Ripple Cupcake, Balls of Red (not his but
he recommended it for use with UF dbs)
It means a lot to me when other hybridizers who are working for similar forms recommend plants they're seeing good results with.
