Thank you so very much for checking out the 2015 Daredevil Daylily Seeds offerings!
Pod parent: LAUGHING CLOWN (Alexander 1958) E 28" (considerably taller here, almost always over 48") EV 3.25" red and orange bitone with deeper red eye and petals that often pinch at the tips. Sepals display a lighter edge and exemplary scapes hold many buds with a prolonged bloom season. An extraordinary performer to at least zone 5. Pod parent of ODD MAN OUT.
Pollen parent: ORANGE YOU CLEVER (Michaels 2012 intro registered in 2011) 40" M SEV EMO This curling 7½" orange with reddish eye 4.1379:1 Spider has a 14" wingspan and the greenest throat I've been able to put on an orange spider to date. The buds are a bit odd, opening up at the tips days before the blooms expand. I suspected this might be an invitation to thrips but the ill behaved bugs haven't been a problem since the plant was selected in 2008. What seems to be happening is that ruffles are forming on the last 2-3 inches of the petal tips, perhaps forcing the buds open a tad. Storm proof scapes hold one lateral and 18 buds, and the plant makes narrow fans. Fertile both ways but pollen is infinitely easier. Bloomed EM in 2013. Diploid. (WILDEST DREAMS X ORANGE YOU SPECIAL).
