I was planning to bump this today and move it down! :) Yes, I shared with one person, and got the rest planted today!

Kathy, I germinated seeds last summer but no seedling up to now. I give up and will dump the mix and will have empty cells. Do you have cutting of geranium/cactus/succulent to trade instead of seeds? Let me know. meli

Hi I saw your wanted,I have tons of the blue forget me knots,Would be willing to do a trade for the Daylillies and irises,PLMK Thanks Marcella

2008 - DL Goals Primary Goals Form Colors Edges Eyes Tets 1. Form: Classic (Spalding-like) Round (donut/bagel) Wide Petals wider than long ratio, 3"+ Blunt Sepals  rounded ends 2"+ Size  5.5"+ (Minimum) Bigger is better: Big - Big - Big Segments: Wide - Wide - Wide Spiders, UFOÂs -???? 2. Colors: Clear  No mud Cool colors: White / Cream  clean, no blends  want pure white Purple  dark, rich, sunfast, splotch free Lavender/Blueish  clean, no mottling Pink  clear, solid, baby ribbon Hot colors: Orange  Strong, bold color combinations Red  Clear, no blotches No white mid-ribs  avoid any cultivars with white mid-ribs 3. Edges: Ruffling Looping Crimping Teeth  maybe?  still undecided  Tentacles? 4. Edge No Eye:  Primary Goal Contrasting Picottee  with noticeable difference in edge color. Color  White base color with darker edges also dark colors with light edge Need new material  also use older varieties. Use seedlings with improved edges if form is acceptable (no weak form) Try and acquire as many varieties that are edged as possible Look for sdlgs that have sepals w/edge, a possible indicator of dormant gene. 5. Eye No Edge: Multi Patterned Multi Colors Blue Variations Increasing Complexity Feathered eye edges Lambertson stuff  lots of bluish eyes Darker eye edges Watermarks Washed out eyes Tet Lavender Baby Blue, has been used too much?? 6. Appliqués: Color  Are there variations in appliqué colors Size  Are there variations in appliqué sizes Shape/Form  Are there variations in appliqué shapes Dor/Rec  Are there any indicators for d/r Crosses  use apps: on darker varieties, on other apps, on heavily patterned blooms, on eyed blooms. What effect would an app have on a white bloom? Dips 1. Form: Round  Pansy type form Wide Petals  wider than long ratio Blunt Sepals  rounded ends Size  6"+ Variations  Straight sepals with fully recurved petals (Wrapped)  Raised mid-ribs, creating a three dimensional look (3-D) Spiders, UFOÂs -???? 2. Edge No Eye: Primary Goal Clear Picottee color  strong contrast Tipped - Rouged Ruffling  Looping - Crimping Try and acquire varieties that are edged Use Seedlings with edges 3. Eyed: Multi Colored Multi Hued Multi Patterned Broken Patterns Increasing Complexity Unusual types Striations, bleeding, darts, piano keys, feathered edges, waves Appliqués 4. Colors: Cool Cool Colors White - Near white Pink Purple  maybe (use older sdlg that doesnÂt fade) Yellow  very very clear  no midribs, no blends, no mottling 5. Bi-Tone: Use rose/pink BT-01 seedling with larger forms Look for High Quality BiTones & BiColors  cool colors WhatÂs Next: Multi-Colored Eyes 3-D Eyes (Raised texture) 3-D Mid-Ribs Very Complex Patterned Eyes Edge to edge eyes Multi-Colored Edges (more than one color in the edge) Feathered Edges Patterned Edges Bleeding Edges Broken Patterns Flower in Flower Patterns Appliqué on appliqué Micro-Mini Spiders Double Spiders Candy Stripes, different colors Different Colored Pinstripes (Purple & Pink) True Blue BiColors with Edges Edges meeting Eyes 5" Segments 8 Scapes 20" Blooms Do Want: High bud count with multiple branching Strong growth tendencies Fast increasers Instant Rebloomers Rust Resistant Picotee edges Interesting edges BiTones/BiColors Patterned Eyes without matching edges Bold patterns Stylized form Clear colors Cool colors  Whites  Purples Pin Striping Contrasting Veins DonÂt Want Avoid any Orange & Yellow combinations Muddy Colors Blends White mid-ribs In-between sizes  either Big (over 5.5+) or Small (3 & under)  no Pony size Any Eyed with matching Edge (Already overdone) Low bud count Witches broom Loose forms Weak growth habits Rust magnets Long Term Projects Larger seedling beds Eliminate unused cultivars Rework Display Garden New labels (wood & metal) ************* I always try and have my long term & short term goals in mind when I am in the DL beds hybridizing. when I started crossing DL's I just put pretty on pretty but over the years have developed specific goals which I try and follow. At the end of the year I'll try and evaluate how things went and how close I kept to my goals. Sorry for the length but I didn't want to just post a partial answer. Jerry ***
