I was so glad to get your f1 cross of Ice Carnival. It is a beauty. I am learning more about some of the species like H. f.rosea 'Rosalind'.
I have been following comments of some of Mahieu cultivars and much admire the fact that he used species to increase the bud count and branching on his plants. The Mahieu cultivars are hard to find and sooo expensive.
I am currently bidding on Thorhalla on the LA and hope to win a double fan of it. If not - I know Rich Howard in Conn. has it listed for about $70.00 for 1 fan.
I really want this one - I have "Thank You Mister Wizard" in mind for it. But I don't always get what I want - sometimes just cannot afford it. BUT I'm Trying!!
I recently got the list of historic daylilies from Laverew for the Historic Daylily Garden for Michigan but am at a loss to figure out what to order. I would like to get some of the stuff Mahieu used in his cultivars.
Regards, Claire
This will be the first seedlings I've raised from using "Rosalind" and I really hope they do well.
As far as this cross goes, if IC gives up it's color there should be some nice, clear pinks from it, more "spidery" in form and have "hybrid vigor". I doubt any eye color will show on the seedlings, but if I end up doing sibling crosses or back crosses onto "Rosalind", then there will be eyes in that generation.
I hope to use "Rosalind" again next season, especially with ones that didn't do well this season.
I haven't planted the first seed yet, so you are well ahead of me there! Still have sorting to do, again and then maybe I can get started sowing some of the seeds. Don't have a lot of room for them under the lights this year, so the majority will be planted outside, in pots, in later April, early May.

In a discussion I had with Brian the other day he said to watch for "ratty" foliage fron first generation "Rosalind" crosses. You might want to keep that in mind when your seedlings are a year old and the ones with really bad foliage should be composted. Second generation plants are usually okay as far as foliage goes. He also said that breeding to nocturnal blood lines will "fix" bad foliage. "Rosalind" will perpetuate the narrow bloom form, which is what we want, right!
