It does tend to settle down on subsequent blooms as far as the size of the applique. Pollen is easily fertile, and Millennium will set pods once established. May even set pods for you this year, since it is in the greenhouse. I am happy you are enjoying my daylilies. Just so we are on the same page, the plants of Millennium Falcon, Quantum of Solace, and A.D. Lewis are gift plants. Yours to share with whoever you like. Glad to hear you are having fun and I can't wait for our bloom season. I'll look forward to seeing what you create with them. All the best.Paul K.

I have wanted this "sea shell" in some of my plants, and I've been working toward getting this done. However, I haven't seen a purple as nice as yours with such a nice eye. I have crossed MILLENNIUM FALCON one time with pollen from 11-279, and this morning I used pollen from my green edged purple which is Seedling 1-414.<br /><br />On the seedlings that I hope to produce, my plan is to hold your eye and increase the size of the edge on the petals.<br /><br />I like your daylilies. Thanks for letting me grow the four that I have.<br /><br />BillBill Waldrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18012064602543142108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-888299989065786666.post-49871733146886049952012-04-08T06:59:41.513-07:002012-04-08T06:59:41.513-07:00B,
