Patterns from 2018!

                           Chris Furlow seedling CJ016-18. Lovely pattern.

                                 Di DeCaire future intro for 2020. Wow!

Thought I would gather some of the nicer photos of patterned daylilies I have seen on the internet this year.  Patterns are really leaping forward quickly.  It is an exciting time.  Here are some pics:

                        Karol Emmerich seedling 8417. Cool purple seedling.

                                Guy Pierce Greek Art seedling. Awesome.

Has been a fun bloom season this summer.

Lewis seedling out of Wheel of Time (Petit) Very unique looking. First year it's bloomed.

                                          Pharaoh's Arrows (Guy Pierce)

  It's been another very fun bloom season.  I am still collecting pods and trying to line out last year's crosses.  Always busy.  So, I just wanted to posted some pics of some of the better blooms from this year.  Hope you enjoy them.

                               Lewis seedling out of Ticklish (DeCaire)

                                  Dreams Come True (Mark Carpenter)

                        Lewis seedling out of Four Beasts in One (DeCaire)

That concludes this week's picture show.  Trying to get organized for this year's interview season.  Hope to have some great hybridizers to feature.  Be patient with me.  Things should pick up in the late Fall.

A real breakthrough daylily.

                             Valentina Gripas new speckled daylily seedling.

                           Valentina Gripas new speckled daylily seedling.

   I was looking through Facebook the other day when I came across this beautiful daylily seedling from Valentina Gripas from Ukraine.  From what she said, it just started blooming this year and is not for sale.  What a fantastic looking daylily.  A real breakthrough.  Here are some more pictures below:

I'd like to thank Valentina for allowing me to share these pictures.  My blooming season is winding down and I should be able to post some pictures very soon again and hope to have some really fun interviews with hybridizers you all know and love.  Stop back in soon.

Dark Eyed Daylilies.

                              Karol Emmerich seedling 10817.  Stunning!

  I think I first fell in love with dark eyed daylilies the first time I saw Jeff Salter's Moonlit Masquerade.  I still enjoy seeing it as it is always an early season bloomer.  Sometime later I saw the daylily Dan Trimmer named for his wife, Jane Trimmer and was really blown away by that.  Over time there has always seemed to be newer dark eyed daylilies that have caught my attention.  Here's a few I have seen posted recently:

  Karol Emmerich seedling 11716.  (I think this and Tango Lessons need to be crossed together.)

Well, I hope you enjoyed that brief segment.  The Myrtle Beach, South Carolina daylily convention is going on this weekend and I hope you all are having fun.  Wish I could be there, but work keeps me busy.  Starting to see some bloom, so it won't be long before my garden starts up again.  Hope you are all well.

  Was thinking about some of the better branched daylilies I have seen and some I've just seen pictures of and here is what I would call a sampling.  I hope to put a more detailed segment together in the future.  Here is your picture show for this week:
