My favorite is the 'Mom's Seedling', so delicate looking and pretty! Marg

Glad to hear you've gotten so much rain recently. You still have a lot blooming there. The Bold Tiger Lookalike has really put on a show for you. I remember it from your other posts. "Mom's Seedling" is soft and pretty, and "Jean's Joyful Noise" is also attractive and reminds me of my "Rubber Maid." Did you hybridize the seedlings?

Debra

Thank you, Marg and Debra. My "Mom's Seedling" is the only J. Carpenter reject I purchased that lived. I bought it nine or ten years ago, and it's turned out just great. It is very pod fertile and always seems to crank out lots of proliferations. As a result, we probably have about 70 of them in various places around the property. "Jean's Joyful Noise" came up volunteer right next to a group of "Mom's Seedling". I truly believe "Mom's Seedling" is the pod parent, pollen parent unknown. This daylily has many of the qualities of M.S., same general plant habit and it particularly has the ability to produce 2 to 3 proliferations per scape. I think we have 15 "Jean's Joyful Noise" daylilies growing here now, 14 of them from proliferations. My sister is a minister and she sings, so I took the name from the Bible passage-"Make a joyful noise unto the Lord". Seems appropriate for her namesake daylily. Avedon

Hurray, hurray for the much needed rain. The daylilies are loving it. So many pretty blooms you have there. Truely they are all my favorites.

Beautiful Avedon; I love juLIANNA lynn AND ALSO BOLD TIGER LOOK ALIKE. gorgeous, and I love MOM'S SEEDLING, its gorgsous, so is MISS VICTORIA.Your husband seems to have very good luck with rooting the ptolifs.I have tried at least 6 or 7 of them and dont have one rooted yet.Have one sitting in water right now to see if it will root, but, dont give it much hope. its surprising to me that I have not beeen able to root them, as I have always rooted anything I wanted before. Have rooted dozens and dozens of roses. I have another one out on MARIETTA'S SURPRISE, I plan to try again rwith it when the scape is finished blooming.I am not giving up on it anyway.

Jean

Jean's Joyful Noise really appears to have substance, like a rubber maid. Miss Victoria and Juliana Lynn, also nice, but my fave is your cute visitor (easy to miss).

Oh my goodness - 70 prolif plants of Mom's Seedling. I guess you really do like that one!

Debra

I especially like Smokey Mountain autumn, Your Bold Taget lookalike, and your Mom's Seedling. It's a beauty.

Jean, my husband never met a proliferation he didn't want to root and he has a real talent for it, too much so some times. That's why we have so many of Mom's Seedling. He has never started them in water, always in the ground. You have a real talent for rooting roses and we were always just so-so there. Thank for the nice comments on the daylilies.

Mantis, Jean's Joyful Noise does have nice substance. I think it has more light peach coloring to it than shows in the pictures. It's just pure luck that I saw that little frog.

Debra, as I told Jean, my husband loves to root proliferations. I am going to try to get some of those seventy plants moved out so I have the room to spend more money on DLs. LOL.

Kay, appreciate all the kind words, thanks a bunch.

Congratulations on the rain, and on all of your beautiful daylilies.

I have a question for you. I could not find a "Miss Victoria" in the online AHS database, but I do see that it is being sold (as a trademark name) at a few online nurseries. None of the nurseries specify a ploidy, and none of their pictures show polymerous blooms as yours does.

Do you know if 'Miss Victoria' is a dip or tet? How often does it throw polymerous blooms for you? And are the scape and bloom sizes that I see online (22" scape, 4" bloom) correct (is that how it performs in your garden)?

Thanks in advance.

Lots of beautiful daylilies from both of your posts, especially the "Bold Tiger" one. I especially like the butterfly and frog photos -- you have a keen eye to have spotted that frog!

You still have lots blooming, I'm so amazed when I have almost nothing in bloom now. Love the Bold Tiger lookalike, seems like it may bloom better than Bold Tiger. Mom's seedling is wonderful too.

Polymerous, I have spent some time on the computer trying to make sure of the info I have on Miss Victoria. The reason you won't find it on the AHS database is that it's from England, hybridized by the Blooms of Bressingham. They have done a series of "Lady" daylilies, including Miss Victoria and Miss Amelia--which we have--and others like Lady Lucille, Lady Rose, etc. To look these up, search Daylilies By Blooms Of Bressingham. I thought I knew the Blooms were the hybridizers, but I wanted to be sure. Miss Victoria is a diploid, and generally, the scape height and bloom size is correct as you have it listed. I don't know just how often it polys, but today I found a bloom with four petals and three sepals. We received this plant as a bonus from Oakes Daylilies several years ago. They sell some of the Bressingham hybrids. I hope this helps you out.

Maximus and Nancy, "B.T. Lookalike" was a passalong plant that came from Jack Carpenter originally. So far as I know, it is a diploid because I tried crossing it with Mom's Seedling both ways--as pod and as pollen--and nothing took.
Mom's a tet, so naturally I decided B.T Lookalike was a dip. Of course, now I know sometimes these crosses won't take because condition aren't right. Whatever it is, it is doing wonderfully well, and it also produces proliferations. We have four of these plants because of that. Avedon

Thanks, Avedon, for all of your hard work in information-gathering on 'Miss Victoria'! (I tried the plant patent website, and even looked at a different trademark website (since it appeared that 'Miss Victoria' was a trademark name), and I couldn't find any information from those sources. I had no clue where else to look for any data.)

It's too bad that it is a diploid, but I am glad to have the information, and hopefully it will be of value to those hybridizing with diploid polys. (I used to hybridize with the dip polys, but for a number of reasons have been moving over to the tets.)

Thanks again for all of your help!
