 I'm back on blue, my wine is also blue...I just took a Sip..OK where was I.   I'm not sure we are getting the straight poop on this blue thing yet. I'm not saying this seedling has blue (bloomed today), I use it to get your observation below. This picture was copied straight out of my camera, no editing.  We keep saying there is no blue in Daylilies, is this factual is my question? I keep looking into this by my friend Google.

Look at below (Copied from http://www.hartsdaylilies.com/genetics.htm

"It is interesting to note that particular daylilies like Stamile’s "Got the Blues" and Modavan’s "Piece of the Sky" have a definite blue color to the eye. What is different about the daylily eye? What must be done to transfer the blue color to the rest of the flower? Is it purely a matter of pigment concentration or is there more to it. Note, every daylily produced so far which has a definite blue eye produces both cyanidin and delphinidin flavonoids .We already have delphinidin and a blue color in part of some of the daylilies. Getting a blue daylily will be different from getting a blue rose. With roses it was a simple matter of transferring a gene for delphinidin into the rose. That produced a blue color. With daylilies, we are dealing with compounds, which modify the color of delphinidin".

 IS THIS RIGHT? SURELY SOMEONE ON THIS ROBIN KNOWS THE TRUE FACTS IF THERE IS REALLY BLUE IN SOME DAYLILIES.  WILL PIGMENT CONCENTRATION DO IT, AS SUGGESTED?

    1. I still don't have a clue about Blogging yet but that certainly has never kept me from trying something new. I'm like a goose I wake up in a different world everyday. I must be retrained daily. Thanks Lori....T
