Author Message   Bloomorelse  Posted on Monday, June 19, 2006 - 05:50 pm EST :    My last year's babies are growing well, but I see no scapes yet. Still hoping to see something later. I'm only a zone 4b, but we did have an early Spring this year. Bloomorelse - New Brunswick, Zone "4b"   Guff  Posted on Monday, June 19, 2006 - 08:23 pm EST :    Janet, thanks. The flower has a scent much like a lilac, just a hint, no wheres as strong. I selfed pollinated both flowers, I was going to put Always Lovely on them(only other pollen I have), but then thought It might be interesting to see what crossing itself makes. I did have another flower on Always Lovely, that I did pollinate with Bella Sera. My self attempted on Always Lovely didn't take. I'm saving all the pollen from Bella Sera that I can, and going to put it on every flower. I have scapes on my Royal Braid fans and Canadian Bordor Patrol. Nothing on Strawberry Fields Forever yet, I hope it flowers. Too bad, there wasn't a place where you could purchase pollen of the more expensive ones.

This is suppose to be Royal Braid, looks like Awesome Blossom to me? A better picture of Always Lovely, I wonder what Bella Sera kids will turn out like? Border Lord Canadian Border Patrol Paper Butterfly Lavender White Eyes PRAIRIE BLUE Eyes Michaela, huge flowers, I would say 7-8 inch range Big Smile Last two I don't know their names Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Janet43945  My Weather Posted on Monday, July 17, 2006 - 04:03 pm EST :    Very pretty lilies,will be anxious to see the Bella babies. You are gonna have some fun with these. Janet Ohio Zone 5   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, July 19, 2006 - 01:41 pm EST :    Obvious Pleasure. Seems to be a double. First flower to open. Picture I posted before shows it as a normal. Bella Sera, that I never had a chance to post. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Thursday, July 20, 2006 - 12:25 pm EST :    Obvious Pleasure, single form. Simply Sensational FFO, has a very nice gold edge to it.

I think I may have some pretty babies in the future. I have some pods, its been about 50% hit/miss. Hopefully in another month or so I will get rebloom scapes. My Clothed In Glory, Strawberry Fields Forever, Mildred Mitchell, Destined To See, and Druids Chant havent flowered, not sure they will either. I was really looking forward to crossing those to Bell Sera. I have 4 pods on Always Lovely X Bella Sera and 5 pods on Royal Braid-Awesome Blossom x Bella Sera. Most of the others also have 2-5 pods, but still have flowers to come. Any extra seed I don't have room for I will stick up on the Lily auction. I really only have room for maybe 10 seeds of each Bella Sera cross that I did. Plus I have alot of dip crosses, that I will be growing as well. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Wednesday, September 13, 2006 - 09:35 pm EST :    Well all in all I did ok getting pods to set. I was hoping for more pods. I had a set back, 1 packet of Bella Sera pollen that I had saved and stored in the freezer, wasn't any good. I wasted 12-15 flowers, thinking it was just the weather. I then went back to an older packet, and sure enough I was able to get pods to set again. Good news, I have around 50 seeds each of Always Lovely x Bella sera and Awesome Blossom(Druid Chant) X Bella Sera. Most of my other Bella's crosses I made I have around 15-25 seeds. I have a feeling the Paper Butterfly cross might make something very interesting. James Marsh only had 1 pod and it had 3 seeds. I'm hoping for a nice white outer edge. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Janet43945  My Weather Posted on Thursday, September 14, 2006 - 07:09 pm EST :    Sounds like you had a good year. I did not get all the crosses that I set or wanted . I wanted Sebastian the Crab and Fluttering Beauty crosses and they just would not take on the lilies I wanted them too..I did get a couple,I think but not the ones I really wanted.Oh well I had a great year for seedlings so I am happy. Janet Ohio Zone 5   Lioneve  My Weather Posted on Friday, September 15, 2006 - 02:24 am EST :    Most of my pods have dropped of for some reason, nice to see somebody is succeeding! Lioneve - Uusimaa, Zone "5"   Guff  Posted on Sunday, September 17, 2006 - 12:07 pm EST :    I made a mistake on my last post. I meant to put (Royal Braid) instead of Druid's Chant. Lioneve, are you crossing dip's to dip's and tet's to tet's? Some unknowns that I wasn't sure on, I would try dip pollen on one flower, then put tet on another, wait a couple days and see what takes. I have an unknown peach and a red daylily that I put Bella Sera pollen on, I think I have maybe 30-40 seeds of each. It will be interesting to see the outcome. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Sunday, September 17, 2006 - 05:23 pm EST :    I collected , Simply Sensational X Bella Sera pods. I had two pods of this cross, and had a total of 9 seeds. The pods were very small, but the seeds were large. I only have a hand full of pods still to collect. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Notmartha  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden Posted on Tuesday, September 19, 2006 - 09:22 am EST :    i have been collecting pods for a month and still seems like there are as many out there as i have collected-I have some sprouting in their lil bags already! its been a great season! Notmartha - mi, Zone "6a"   Guff  Posted on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 03:18 pm EST :    I wasn't sure if I was going to buy any daylily's this fall, but I couldn't pass up another try at Royal Braid. Six fans for $13! Judging by the sellers photo, looks like the real deal. I may pickup one or two more from the same seller, to make out better on the shipping. Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Guff  Posted on Saturday, September 23, 2006 - 05:47 pm EST :    Well, I picked up two more from the same seller, both are triple fans. VOICES IN FOG $12.99 UNCHARTERED WATERS $6.29 Guff - NY, Zone "?"   Notmartha  My Favorite Photo My Weather My Garden Posted on Monday, September 25, 2006 - 01:51 pm EST :    i wasnt going to get anymore this yr but i won wind beneath my sails 4 fans for 19.99 and with that one i have to stop for the yr its darn cold here! Notmartha - mi, Zone "6a"   Guff  Posted on Thursday, September 28, 2006 - 07:20 pm EST :    Notmartha, nice. I received my fans today. I always wonder if the seller is going to send nice fans or not. Well not only did I receive nice fans, but Royal Braid has 7 fans, Unchartered Waters 5 fans, and Voices In Fog also has 5 fans, talk about getting a deal on these. Guff - NY, Zone "?"
