Best of Broken Colors for 2024

I reached out to all my hybridizing friends for seedling photos this year and couldn't believe some of the break throughs I was seeing.  Not only that but the sheer number of seedlings that are so impressive.  Every one seemed like a future intro.  I included some new intros as well which I'm just seeing now as hybridizers are posting their 2025 intros.  This look is probably the most popular right now in daylilies. The ADS has updated it's definition of it as being variegated or broken colors.  So, I guess I have to stop calling them striped daylilies.  Anyway, I will show you below in groups some of the awesome seedlings hybridizers have shared with me.

Unbelievable how many broken color intros and seedlings there are from all over the world.  I'm sorry to all the hybridizers who I didn't include this year.  It wasn't personal, there were so many submissions and I only had so much time.  I did my best.  Hope you enjoyed it. All the above pictures are the property of each person that submitted them and use without prior consent is prohibited.  Hope all of you enjoy your Thanksgiving whether you already celebrated it or will this coming week.  I hope to post something around Christmas next.  Busy working as usual.  Got to pay those bills.  Happy holiday season to you all.
