C.Conway genetics

My hybridizing years start with some influence from others. My first cross was made in my mentor's garden. Sown there and just next spring take to my garden. There I select my first good seedling from 4 and registered it. That give me push to communicate with others and found a piece of joy with everyone.
And one of the most influent lady mentor is Claudia Conway from Running Fox Farm. Long years of communication, lots of emails, letters and seeds received from her. And I had a luck to see her garden last summer. Oh, what a year. And just this year I start seeing some beauties from her works in my garden. I meant real beauties.
All the best I captured this season. All made by Claudia, or her donated seeds from Lily auction. However, I keep her name on tags, so that always remind her in my little piece of land.

Pretty strong and nice seedling. But sterile. I had no luck with it as pod parent. Used all blooms. And no pods at all. Tried few as pollen parents, also - nothing. Might give some time for next season. Too good to use only as garden plant. At least for GStQ genetics.

 [(Leslie Renee x Royal Rennaissance) x Larry's Obsession]
This seedling is outstanding. Used it as pod parent this season. And I can say only one word - FERTILE. All crosses resulted with pod. So happy. First ones already collected. As it start to bloom early and then set reblooming scape. This photo is in morning.

 [(Leslie Renee x Royal Rennaissance) x Larry's Obsession]
Same seedling, just captured other day and in evening.

 (Leslie Renee x Bass Gibson)
Leslie Renee is so obvious in this seedling. Might try to push up some Bass Gibson genetics in next generations.

 (Flying Trapeze x Flirting With Disaster)
SUPERB seedling. Love this intense color. And those spots is after rain. Usually it stay pretty nice.

 (Flying Trapeze x Flirting With Disaster)
Sibling. More full form, but color a little bleacher comparing to one before.

Extra early and reblooming. What else we need? I wish it stays this way for all time. As I had first blooms of it in June and now blooming second rebloom scape.

 (Nepture's Shield x Spacecoast Multi-level Deal)
Claudia mention, that this came from Lily auction. Still nice deal.

 (Triassic Teeth x Forestlake Point Lace)

 (Castle Rock x Wings of Smoke)
This one is superb. Not perfect in bloom size, but it is still young. And I love it. Always open well, intensive color and cute edge.

First blooms has something like metalic eye. But that could be frost damages. As they didn't open well. Area where it grow get some serious damages of late frost (June 16th was the last frost here..)

 [(Country Trouble x Dan Mack Mitchell) x Moriah]
HUGE bloom. 8 inch for such form is something... It look interesting to get such a clear color form that cross. But no one stop me from using it for eyes.

 [(Country Trouble x Dan Mack Mitchell) x Moriah]
And this sibling look closer to parents. Just low in all meanings. Low scapes, low bud count (4).

 [(Santa-2=Santa's Little Helper x Miss Scarlet) x Davissimo]
I wanted to see some of Davissimo kids. Thought that I do not have them this year. But after do some search for parents, I found out that this seedling have it. Got before it get a name, so just now put it on my notes.

 [(Junzi x God Save the Queen) x unknown]
Taller, about 40 inches. Bloom like crazy.

 (Wild Irish x Big Red Wagon)

 (Wild Irish x Big Red Wagon)
This seedling is pure surprise. I waited for another clear color red or purple. And I get pattern. What? Maybe there is some other interruption in.. Really like this surprise. It happens for me.

 (Chaos Dragon 1 x Angry Carrot]
Another 8 inch bloom. Always perform well. Stand out from the beds.

 (Special Anomalies x Art in Motion)

 (Special Anomalies x Art in Motion)
Love the little teeth on it.

 [(Starb1=Love is Enough x Victorian Garden Star Bright) x Eight Miles High]

 [(Jump 2=Rock Solid x Ledgewood's Jump Start) x Fabulous Black Pearl]
It is applique!!! Love this one a lot. And those little teeth on lower petal is just a great bonus.

 [(Crazy Glory-3= Crazy Red One x Glory Days) x Bluegrass Music]

 (Big Red Wagon x Magnet for Love)

 (The Hunk x Violet Femme Sheila)
Superior seedling. Strong structure, hard to break (it set scape very close to narrow path, that I cross a lot when hybridize. And never break it's petals or other parts).

(Power of Love x Victorian Lace)

That is all from C.Conway program. That is great to get genetics in a way, others do not understand well. Even some of those look simple, each of them is great genetic source to my works. And after EU ban for daylilies and other plants from U.S. closed doors for a while. Need to say that this just keep me up to work. Only with that, what I have. Seed's power is amazing.
Recently Claudia started to work with several very nice programs. Northern hardy patterns, teeth, big edges and even diploids! color changers and patterns. So I recommend to look for this lady and see what new she will show to wide world of daylilies. (note - she is using Heavenly New Frontier, so different ploidies will be new black for coming years). If you also want to get some great seeds from here, look for lily auction (http://www.daylily.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi), under seller name Runningfox. She sell hybridizing tags, markers, bags, etc. That help in works a lot. I personally have all set and that cut lots of time for me.
Simply proud to know this lady and work together with things we know best.
