Thank you so very much for checking out the 2015 Daredevil Daylily Seeds offerings!
Pod parent: ABOVE THE CROWD (Saxton 2002) ML 55-60" DOR pretty little 4" lightly ruffled creamy melon blooms with pink tinged midribs over a greenish yellow throat spaced out on super tall scapes averaging 25 - 30 buds. This cultivar was a knockout here in 2004 and it, and more importantly, it's potential, really impressed me. Heck, I voted for it in the Region 4 Popularity Poll that year, and it ain't even a spider! Planted right next to its mom, it towered over her. Rapid increase, too. Pod parent of PLUM STRIPED. (LILAC SPIRE X STATUESQUE).
Pollen parent: INSTANT GRAFFITI (Michaels 2015 intro registered in 2014) Mre 35" DOR 7” This rose purple with darker eye outlined in pale pink has lighter tepal edges and was moved to the selected bed in August, 2011 after 2 years of blooming in the seedling bed. Of primary importance to me is that it maintained its color pattern during the 2 hottest summers we've experienced, unlike most patterned cultivars I grow, though I'd still classify it as a cold dominant pattern. Nearly every bloom had comparable patterning in our cooler 2013. With stout scapes with 2 laterals and up to 30 buds, it has rebloomed every year since its first, producing 3 sets of scapes in 2013. A true game changer for me, every diploid seedling I selected in 2013 was patterned and the majority came from this seedling. Leaving its mark on its kids, it passes patterns, good scapes and rebloom to many of its kids. Influencing both etched eyes and dollop-of-color patterns, it is very pod fertile and has stupendously strong pollen, too. I regret is that it's so fat, but I've selected some thrillingly skinny near-spiders as well as quite round from its pollen. I also regret that it's a tad slow to increase, instead preferring to make chunky fans that produce 2 scapes each, sometimes 3, in one season. Seedling CWLWHTOG-2 [(CHIN WHISKERS x LITTLE WITCHING HOUR) X TOMORROW'S SONG].
