July 23rd

I want to show how curly this bloom is

It's this Seedlings second bloom it was nice the first time, but even better the second.

It is a very clear color, with lots of diamond dust.

This one is just as nice, it is such a pretty color. It is crystal like.

It is hard to explain how the color makes this bloom so nice. It is a clear rose purple but the color doesn't sit on the surface, it's like it is suspended in a jewel.

The purple stamens are like nothing I have seen on a Daylily to date. It has a clear base, with the purple, then there is blue, but it lightens it rather than darkens it, it sparkles with diamond dust.. It is very pretty. It is quite pale but has a real depth to the color. The whole flower is saturated in subtle clear color even the stamens

Click on the pic to see the larger image you can see a hint of the color layered in the petals. It might be the diamond dusting is blue, and pink as well as the usual clear, I am not sure what causes the effect.

Maybe this is the joy of being a new at something, there is so much you have never seen before. I don't know if this is rare, but I have never seen it. They are very showy, this has been one of my favorite blooms.

It's the color that makes it special, it is frustrating trying to capture with the camera what I am seeing. It looks so ordinary here.

It wasn't a very exciting bloom day otherwise, not too many plants with their maiden blooms today.

I did manage to get a picture of AUB that I am happier with. It has been hard to catch the broken color trait with the glare of the sun, and a bloom that doesn't open flat.

Stripes, flecks, and blotches of orange gold showing through the red.

This flower has quite heavy diamond dusting too.

It has thick plastic like petals.

Some of the splotches are quite large.

Finally a shot that shows what I am seeing!

Some shots of maiden blooms

Maybe, it's purple day?

OOPs who let in a red one

Another not Purple seedling

....And back to Purple, there was also a Maiden bloom on a Pink Stripes kid I didn't snap, it was a dark rich grape color.

Now this was kinda weird it really really looked like plastic, you will have to take my word. It had a very smooth rubber look to it.

Soft yellow seedling with a nice Crimson eye

July 22/11 Pink Day

Days seem to have a blooming theme , today was predominantly pink, I didn't think I was a Pink lover but I couldn't help myself. I seemed to be drawn to Pink today.

This spider is actually Purple, it's one of the first narrow petal seedlings.

This bloom kept getting better all day, I kept catching sight of it across the yard.It is a very bright Pink. I had disregarded it earlier in the day, but by the end of the day I moved it to the keeper pile.

This flower had a showy yellow eye that I found pleasing, it's a happy feel good color combo.

Here is a Pink with a Pink eye.

White with a Green throat, and yellow eye

This turned out to be very showy once it fully opened, it's a strong Orange and Mango with a burnt Orange eye.

Another White

This is the second bloom for this seedling, and I like it even more.

My first Stippled bloom, it is a Melon with Crimson Pink dots, I dabbed some Spacecoast Freaky Tiki pollen on it.

If it blooms with my the Pink Stripes seedling below, I will cross them next time.

I took a few Pics of this flower, hoping to capture it. The sunlight plays on it catching an intense Crimson glow, and diamond dust ofn a Chinese red- Salmon bloom. The color is very unique, and my best explanation is that the bloom shimmers in the sunlight.

It has a very satin finish to it, I don't know if this is a Daylily term but it looks like satin sheets.

You can just make out some of the Crimson glow on the top surface.

I am so happy with this Pink Stripes kid, I put it's pollen on several flowers today. I am especially hopeful it will look good on unusual Copper colored seedling out of Portrait in Red.
