December 24, 2011 – Merry Christmas to all.
Each year at Christmas time I like to look at pictures of red (Christmas color) daylilies from last summer and pick out a few of the best. Here are my picks from summer 2011.
Rocks Cry Out – variable color but on cooler days, a good red color. 2009 introduction and excellent parent for reds.Â
Rocks Cry Out seedling 121-1 – Nicely round and ruffled.Â
Seedling 121-5 – full sib to above 121-1 with clear red color.Â
Potential introduction out of Born to Run – seedling 959-3.Â
Red seedling 184-3 with violet tones. We like the watermark and edge.
Seedling 171-1 – (809-3 x Born to Run) – clear cherry red with white edge.
Cast Your Crown seedling 133-1. Great color with gold toothy edge.
Diploid seedling – large green throat and nice clear red petals.
Born to Run seedling 3-10. Nice bitone with gold toothy edge.Â
