This is such an exciting time of year. First daylily seedling to bloom this year was this two year old seedling( seedling #1~top two photos), blooming for the first time ever today, and I was very pleasantly surprised! The cross is from pod parent Pure And Simple x pollen parent Spectral Elegance. The color of the flower reminded me of orange sherbet, and I could see it shining brightly from the other side of the yard. I feel like a new mother:). And the fun is just beginning! Its sibling( seedling #2~photo of bud) will bloom for the first time ever tomorrow:).

I was thinking of orange sherbet too, before I read it in your post! What a gorgeous colour - I love this one :)
Wow, it's got a ruffled look too. It's amazing how many combinations are going into the new plants. I'm amazed at how many generations produce such beauty. It just keeps getting better.
How exciting! It is unique in all the world.
Awesome! Very beautiful!
Wow, the flower is just amazing. I really love your blog. All of flowery!
Keep the flowers coming！！！
That is an amzing color! I think you've got a winner!
That is pretty neat! I'm glad your cross brought you such a great bloom!
Simply gorgeous, I would pay good money for that one.
Looking forward to see its sibling!

Amy~ Thanks so much! It's such an orange creamy color, it reminded me of something edible:).
Anna~ Each generation seems to bring something a little fancier. I love the fancy, but still love the old non ruffled open faced look as well.
Nancy~Thanks so much! Strained peaches~ how scrumptous! I didn't cross pollinate for this daylily myself, as I just started to learn about hybridizing the year I obtained seed for this plant. I watched it germinate, and cared for it and nurtured it until it bloomed, so I still feel like a proud parent:). I have both of it's parents now in my garden.
Mother Nature~ It truly is exciting. Just as unique as each child to a parent!
Karen, Xjion89, Jane Marie, Dave,and Zoe~ Thanks so much for your kind comments!!!
An absolutely luscious color!!
Chey This is so lovely - and makes me more convinced that when I start planting this Garden - Daylillies should feature.

That one stopped me dead in my tracks. I love that. It reminds me of a prom dress. So pretty.
