| The first time Ive ever seen this flower.. frankly its wacky, lol.
I dont know to use it , discard it, or let it be for 2 more years and see what it does..
Here is a picture of two sibs... to show you how close they look to each other, its the leslee renee x ss cross, the one on the left is the superiour one, it can have thicker edging in the right days, has a superiour eyezone, lays flater, the one on the right is very similiar, but doesnt always look as pretty. I have alot of pods on the one on the right this year.
The cosmic oddessey x jitterbug blues, it hasnt taken pods yet, but ive used its pollen around, its really young though, so it still might set in the future.

| I don't know I like the first one and would give it some more time, your third seedling to me is a stunner. Linda |

| I'd also give the first one another year. Is your second seedling comparison pic top heavy in buds? I agree, the last seedling pic would be my pick. Love the pencil edging of the two different colors. Julia |

| I agree. I think that first one deserves time to "settle in". That last seedling is a beauty. |

| Love the last seedling. Avedon |

| That last seedling is striking. I'm not that up on eyed daylilies so I can't say that if it is distinctive or not, but it is at least both unusual (not just another pink (not dissing your pink seedling!)) and pretty. Congrats! |

| The last one is only a improvement if you consider a white base superiour to the mauve one that cosmic shows.. otherwise its pretty similiar. I think it contrasts more with the white base , but it wouldnt differ enough to do anything with other then breed with it. Its pretty subtle but its a triple colour edge with the dark purple, light purple and fine gold edge. I understand about the pinks, but a friend of mine raved about the power of leslee renee to start to take blue eyes, thats my plan , if I can get a crop based out of my heaviest pie crusting edges with it, If I get one showing that same familiar eye zone, with a heavier pie crusting, I will then go back into my blue eyed lines. Ive tried it already it hasnt done what I wanted yet, but I will continue trying. (though the seedling I got, is still wonderful from that try, it just isnt the heavy blue eye with a pink wash background Im looking for, I have no doubt people will be years ahead of me before I get one that I want, but thats ok, Im also breeding for cold zones, or colder zones I should say)
