2015 introductions

I have 12 new introductions for 2015. See www.springwoodgardens.com/daylilies.html   This one is Teeth of Iron, out of Kingdom Without End and Skin of My Teeth.

Working on Size

A new look for me. Seedling 2713. A 10" saturated beauty out of Not Guilty x Flying Purple People Eater. 36". 4-way. Planted outside as a small single fan June 2013. Looking forward to seeing this in a clump! 

This next picture is what seedling 2713 looked like in the greenhouse. Shorter and no scape and only 7" inside. Color more cranberry and not as velvety. I love it when things are better outside than inside. Almost always the case with dormants. 

This is seedling 35613, seen for the first time this morning. Out of a complicated seedling x Flying Purple People Eater. 10", 36" 2-5 way. 

One I noticed for the first time a week ago - probably since it is now a big clump - is dormant seedling 3009 - an older one. About 36" with almost a 10" flower out of a dormant seedling (which includes Heartbeat of Heaven, Julie Newmar, etc) x Bali Watercolor. Will move it out of the gravel pit into the main garden to see if I can get a bit more budcount out of it, but will likely just end up as decoration.

Below is what it looked like when it first bloomed May 2009 in the greenhouse. A big difference in form.

Repeat the Sounding Joy kids

Seedling 35413. Planted outside as a small seedling last June and this summer it has 5 way branching with instant rebloom. It is out of Repeat the Sounding Joy x sdlg (where 50% of the sdlg's genetics are All Things to All Men. ATTAM has Repeat as its pod parent, so lots of line breeding here)

Pictured below (2 different days) is 35113 - out of All Things to All Men (which is out of Repeat the Sounding Joy) and God Save the Queen. Note the sharky edge, but not much of a scape yet. Crossing my fingers since it was just planted last summer. 

Not Guilty kids showing their stuff:-)

Not Guilty has been producing some marvelous hardy kids with rich saturated color and good branching. All pictures below are outside photos. This is 35013, a 6.5" beauty which is 50% Not Guilty genetics and 38% All Things to All Men.

This is 0412, which is 25% Not Guilty and also includes Skin on My Teeth, Faith that Moves Mountains, Gnashing of Teeth, Chariot of Clouds, etc.

This is 48612, which is 50% Red Friday and 25% Not Guilty.

0512 isn't showing much of a scape, but love the color. 25% Not Guilty.

Thought I would add this at the end as it has been performing well on a lovely scape. 25% Cosmic Struggle and 25% 52708. Seedling 1613.

Other nice blooms from today

This is 5714 (first picture) - out of 32012 (2nd picture - includes All Things to All Men and Reach for the Sky, etc.) and 8912 (3rd picture - out of 27410 and 52708) 

The next two are 4714 (out of 5012 x 31312) and 5314 (out of 5012 and 37312). They share the same pollen parent 5012, which is the bottom picture.

The first picture is 2014 - it is out of 14212 (2nd picture) and 19413 (3rd picture, and is out of 10112 and 26712, which is out of 52708).
