Author Message   Guff  Posted on Saturday, February 03, 2007 - 10:46 pm EST :    Janet, can't wait to see your flowers this summer. I have been looking at the lilyauction past couple weeks. I want to get Palace Garden Beauty, and Victorian Lace. Bella Sera has been inside under lights since October, no signs of any new fans popping up yet. I have it in a 5 gallon pot. I was hoping this would increase my chances of more fans sooner. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, April 11, 2007 - 04:33 pm EST :    Starting to get around to starting more seed. I took out a packet of Border Lord X Bella Sera out of the fridge yesterday (11 seeds), and today I already have 4 germinated. Also took out James Marsh X Bella Sera (3 seeds) Also trying Lavender White Eyes X unknown velvet red looking daylily, sitting in water, just to see what they do. Dip seeds never look good to me, always shriveled. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Monday, April 23, 2007 - 01:14 pm EST :    Planted Bella Sera outside today. I was hoping to see some baby fans popping up, but no luck. I needed to make room for seedlings and starting more seed. Well out of all the seeds I started above, just waiting on 2 seeds to germinate. Lavender White Eyes X unknown velvet red in a water soak worked very well, all 24 seeds germinated.

About 100 seedlings sown by end 2005, planted (too close too!) in the garden in June 2006. I do hope to get some flowers this year! They look so healthy!!!! Here they are a month ago, when I cleaned them up: since then, they have grown lots of new leaves..Can't wait either!!!

Congratulations! And Zephirine, you have some Herculean fans out there. I'm anxious to see the blooming results from all these seedlings.

Valia, thanks. Those Dips seeds sure did surprised me. Might get something decent from the cross, who knows :) Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Sunday, April 29, 2007 - 09:12 pm EST :    Picked up PALACE GARDEN BEAUTY today, 3 fans for $16.80 at the lily auction :) Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, May 02, 2007 - 11:55 am EST :    Bonus plant I received today, Apache War Dance.

Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Zephirine  Posted on Tuesday, May 22, 2007 - 08:52 am EST :    New count today for my winter 2005-2006 seeds : About 15 flower scapes have appeared so far, out of about 100 seedlings! I just can't wait!!! Zephirine France zone 8   Zephirine  Posted on Tuesday, May 29, 2007 - 09:34 am EST :    update...the count is over 40 today! No blooms yet though... Zephirine France zone 8   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, May 30, 2007 - 04:01 pm EST :    Wow, very nice. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Zephirine  Posted on Wednesday, June 13, 2007 - 08:22 pm EST :    My favourite so far (only 4 babies have opened a flower), 'Ruffled Masterwork' x 'Art Gallery Iridescence': From this limited experience, I would tend to think that, as for roses, the "mother" tends to transmit the type of vegetation and the shape of the flower, while the "father" brings the colour and the (eventual) scent... Do you have a similar feeling with your own crosses? Zephirine France zone 8   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - 03:05 pm EST :    Very nice. Bella Sera is just starting to put up a scape, I was hoping to see it flower this year. Will be saving pollen for next year. Below are first time flowering for me. Clothed In Glory Destined To See Unchatered Waters Voices In Fog Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Sunday, September 30, 2007 - 11:21 am EST :    Bella Sera, today. I had two other flowers a couple days ago, but being so cool here, the color wasn't very good. I have one seed pod forming(second flower that opened), I put Clothed In Glory on it. This flower I put Destined To See, which I tried on the very first flower that open, and it didn't take. Thought I would give it another try. Bella Sera has 2 more flower buds, but I won't be pollinating them. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, December 05, 2007 - 06:48 pm EST :    How did everyone do with seed this year? I did ok. Mostly looking forward to the Destined To See crosses that I made. Should have something interesting in a few years. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Notmartha  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden Posted on Thursday, December 06, 2007 - 10:58 am EST :    i have 1000s of seeds in the frig waiting for Christmas to pass and then start setting up the grow room in the basement!! I have several already sprouting! I did some great crossing this summer and cant wait to see the blooms!!!!! Notmartha - mi, Zone "6a"   Bluethumb  Posted on Friday, December 07, 2007 - 02:49 pm EST :    Well I feel a lot better now, I've only got hundreds of daylily seeds in the fridge! a Ruby Stella baby is off and running Bluethumb - Alberta, Zone "3b"   Guff  Posted on Friday, December 07, 2007 - 04:24 pm EST :    Well hope everyone gets something nice in a few years. I still haven't seen any flowers from my first attempt growing from seed. I was looking back at past posts. Does my Clothed In Glory look like the real deal or TC? My Mildred Mitchell that I bought from the same seller hasn't flowered, and seems to grow very slow. My guess they are both TC. Both came with nursery tags with the picture of the flower. I will be sticking to the Lily Auction, always received nice fans. My Strawberry Fields Forever still hasn't flowered, and that also grows slow, bought that on EBAY. What I received was a pencil sized fan, guess the seller was mad at the selling price. I doubt it will flower this summer. I might be better off picking up another one this spring, same as with Mildred Mitchell. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Bloomorelse  Posted on Friday, December 07, 2007 - 04:28 pm EST :    I'm dying of envy. You guys must have way more gardening space available for all these babies than me. Will you keep them all? only keep the pretty ones? I put out about 50 + in my test garden this summer. Hoping for some blooms next year. Bloomorelse - New Brunswick, Zone "4b"
