Thank you so very much for checking out the 2015 Daredevil Daylily Seeds offerings!
Pod parent: MISS JESSIE (Hardy 1956) M 40" DOR 4:1 elegant 7" orchid-mauve and yellow bicolor with hints of blue halo, pod parent of DIPPED IN INK, JESTER'S CROWN, KAREN'S CURLS, LIBERTY AND JUSTICE, ORCHID HUNTER, ORCHID VISITATION, ZELAZNY and a great many more. Grandmother of SCANDINAVIA. First year seedlings are often multiple fans.
Pollen parent: COUNTERWISE WINE (Michaels 2014 registered in 2013) L (might be considered VL) 45" DOR 7" (9½" wingspan) saturated burgundy 4.18:1 Spider with a bit of ruffling and cream midribs over a yellow to green throat. Thick, strong scapes hold 1-2 laterals and 20+ buds. Opens earlier in cold weather than its dad, and,unlike daddy, it's quite pod fertile. And wow, is it kinky! Most blooms will display a tooth/protrusion/flap/little wing/whatever on at least one petal near the throat. Sometimes every petal has a growth, usually just tooth-shaped, on both sides. Sometimes the growth can be a ½" long "finger." I suspect these growths may be heat related. Despite being lined out in the spring of 2013, it bloomed later than it’s well-established dad in 2014. The name comes from the Terry Pratchett's Disc World's time reversed alcohol. Hangovers occur before you drink counterwise wine as "hangunders" and are often so bad that you drink larger amounts just to get rid of them. Counterwise wine is made from reannual plants that grow and flower before they have germinated, essentially growing backwards. (NINA NINA WOLVERINA X MASCARA SNAKE).
Goals: Dark spiders and Unusual Forms are anticipated, perhaps some with a bluish sheen.
