Thomas Tew x Born to be Wild 7 seeds

THOMAS TEW
(Stamile,P.) TET 5231-A (Rock Solid X Tetra Peppermint Delight) 38” MRe. emo. fr. Ev. 6.5” x 3” x 2”. 5-way branching (3 laterals plus terminal “y”). 40-45 buds.

This wonderful sib to CHRISTOPHER MOODY is like a super ROCK SOLID on steroids. THOMAS TEW comes in a little later than most of the Tetra Peppermint Delight seedlings but what a dramatic impact it makes with huge cream flowers with dramatic black plum eyes and huge chartreuse throats on very tall well branched scapes. The old convention that you got the plant habit from the pod parent and the flower from the pollen parent is born out in this flower. The tall well branched scapes come from ROCK SOLID but the flower size and dramatic eye is from the pollen parent. Our tallest and best branched daylily from Tetra Peppermint Delight.
An exciting addition to the class of huge eyes on huge flowers. Fertile both ways.

BORN TO BE WILD
(Pierce, G.) 8163-A (((Calling All Angles x Sue Brown) x Mountain Wildflower) x Fringy) SEV EM 32” 6.25” flower, 6 way branching, 35-40 buds. The perfect name for literally a perfect modern daylily, and “Oh My Heavens” a great parent!!! In 2008, I wanted to put a green edge all around the edges of Floyd Cove’s richly colored eyed daylilies. Of course I got the stuffed shirt lecture… and as you can see by this cross I put the lovely Fringy on our edged and eyed hems.

From six seed came four keepers, two dormant and two SEV. All were extremely pod fertile and began throwing winning offspring. I was going to introduce one of the dormant sibs but it looked too similar to BTBW to be released. Anyway, BORN TO BE WILD has all the modern criteria that are essential to be released as a Floyd Cove daylily. Low arching foliage, scape height and buds, color clarity, health, and a unique look, BTBW got it’s great fertility from the pod parent, and will accept any pollen you give her easily. This trait has been passed down to her future offspring, and they are dreamy. The base color of BORN TO BE WILD is a clean near white with a plum purple eye and a matching purple picottee, the picottee is then completely edged in chartreuse. There is also a bright green throat. Very easily fertile. Limited.
