A baby was born!

A baby was born!, a photo by tsubasa_ozora.rm on Flickr.

It took her two years to bloom, and she's the only one to bloom so far. Her parentage is Siloam Virginia Henson x Entrapment. When she grows up, I may cross her with Gentle Shepherd.

The seed pod that produced her contained at least six other seeds, and I'm growing them all out. Will they be clones of her, or fraternal twins? Anybody know?

Congratulations! :D I think that it looks like a superior version of Entrapment. Have you thought of name yet?

Fraternal twins. Sexual reproduction was involved, not asexual. However, if it was self-pollination, the amount of genetic variation may be pretty minimal.
That is a very pretty bloom!

I'm glad to hear that...I don't know what I would do with five of the same plant! I wonder what they will all look like? The flowers are bigger on this one than on either of the parents. The eye and the plant habit is from Siloam Virginia Henson, but everything else looks like Entrapment...

There's a registered daylily called Siloam New Toy that looks very much like this one, but this one has bigger flowers.
