EVENING EYE SHADOW (Moldovan) S95-155: (Old King Cole X ((Flying Carpet x Cotopaxi) x Ida's Magic)) 4 way plus terminal 25 buds 28-inch height M 5 ½ flower D fertile Once again two of our best friends, Sandy and Mike Holmes, save the day. A number of years ago a seedling of Steve's headed south to their garden. And time went on. A while ago I received a call from Mike and was informed that many people were inquiring about this seedling and thought it should be introduced. It is therefore with great pleasure that we introduce you to Evening Eye Shadow. This variety is best described as a medium to deep maroon depending on the evening temperatures. It is a bitone whose sepals vary from medium to deep pink also depending on the evening temps. The medium pink eyezone of Evening Eye Shadow only adds to the sultry, after five look of this daylily. Plant habit is commendable and Mike describes the branching as being tree-like. Evening Eye Shadow is still being used in the Holmes program (known as sgl.155) and is reported to be very fertile both ways, even on difficult converted material. THIS IS FOR SPRING 2018 SHIPPING. THIS IS PROBABLY STEVE'S BEST BITONE IN MY EYES AND I DON'T SEE TOO MANY OFFERINGS FOR IT, SO I THOUGHT I WOULD LIST A DOUBLE FAN FOR AUCTION. IT LOOKS JUST LIKE THE PICTURE AND IS EASY TO SET PODS ON. A WONDERFUL MOLDOVAN DAYLILY AND ONE YOU NEED FOR YOUR COLLECTION. |
