8-16 Post – Northern Treasure

We introduced three daylilies from the cross of Northern Dawn x Treasure of the Southwest.  Northern Treasure was the first one we hybridized with.  The others, Forever Rosemary and Gentle on My Mind are later bloomers and did not work as well with our hybridizing.  The first generation of seedlings from Northern Treasure were crossed with Leslie Renee and Shores of Time.  We got nice pinks but never ended up introducing any.  This year we saw second generation seedlings and more first generation seedlings from Northern Treasure and were quite pleased. 

Seedling 1015-1 below combines a Northern Treasure seedling with a Heartbeat of Heaven Seedling.  The color comes from Northern Treasure with the edge from HOH.
