Thank you so very much for checking out the 2015 Daredevil Daylily Seeds offerings!
Pod parent: GREY WITCH (Reed 1999) EM 30" DOR 4.22:1 is the ratio of this 6" Spider. Registered as having 2 branches and 15 buds, it does lots more, is vigorous, and gets taller as well. Got to 42" here in 2006 with an average of 29 buds per scape and has maintained those habits since, even with routine over-podding. Gray lavender with a purple eye above a green throat. Won a well deserved Award of Merit in 2009. (TRAHLYTA X unknown). Pod parent of MONACAN TRAIL, OCEAN SPIRIT, ORION'S BAND and ZERO TO SIXTY, pollen of BUZZER BEATER and GREY WOLF, grandmother of LIGHT AS AIR.
Pollen parent: QUEEN COBRA (Michaels 2014 intro registered in 2013) M 42" DOR Just by looking at the math, you can tell there's a lot of recurve going on in this 8-9" purple Spider because it has a 15" wingspan. There's also a good bit of curling and twisting happening during all but the coldest weather. Has a deeper eye, a yellow to chartreuse green throat and stupendously strong scapes that, in the third year, can produce 3 laterals under the terminal "W" and up to 40 buds. Those 40 buds can make the plant a bit overcrowded, but the following year the scapes calm down to 30 or so buds. Its Spider ratio averages 5.6:1. Unlike many first generation kids from SKINWALKER, it has powerful pollen. Pod fertile in 2011, it balked at the heat, or maybe it just wasn't attracted to the suitors I chose in 2012. Makes narrow to average diploid sized fans. Seedling DS212SKN-18. ( Dallas Star seedling #2-12 X SKINWALKER).
