Seedlings!

I got a few seed pods off plants I purchased this year. I used the paper towel method to sprout them and I have 6 seed pods that gave good seed. The exciting part is I have no clue what I’m going to get from these babies! There are so many varieties of plants these could have cross bred with.

TBS19-1 is a seed off Taken By Storm. Pollen parent is unknown.
TBS19-3 is a seed off Taken By Storm. Pollen parent is unknown.
TBS19-5 is a seed off Taken By Storm. Pollen parent is unknown.
NF19-1 is a seed off Northern Fancy. Pollen parent is unknown.

Update 5/3/2020:
Unfortunately, all the TBS19 seedlings didn't thrive. On the happy side, there are three NF19-1 that are thriving. Those are in the ground. I don't expect any blooms from them this year. I have to wait until next to see what they do.

The pod parent is Northern Fancy
Daylily Northern Fancy

Since I don't know what flower gave the pollen, I have no clue what the childred will look like. I hope the babies get the ruffled edges!
