KAREN STEPHENS (Kinnebrew, 2009) Daylily (SC Rebel Yell X Jerry Nettles) Pure Indulgence 6”, sev, rec, TET – With Randy Stephens as our cover flower this past year, it only stands to reason that we name a flower for his “better half” this year. Besides saturated dark red color and ruffled gold edge, Karen has as good a plant habit as you can find anywhere in our garden. Huge plants produce strong, very well branched scapes. At times, we have counted as many as 4 or 5 lateral branches, plus the top. Tremendous fertility is another highly favorable trait. It seems that you can set a pod any time you like, with any pollen you choose. With this in mind, many of our very best seedlings are from Karen, especially as a pod parent. These range from reds and blacks with gold edges, reds with gold and white toothy edges, to even some doubles, as this flower will occasionally double late in the season. Unfortunately, darker colors have proven difficult for us to capture on an image, so please take our word for the beauty of this flower. Outstanding 30” scapes hold up to 32 buds. Strong multiple bloomer. Again, extremely fertile.

TOOTH AND NAIL (Benz) Tet 48" M. Dor. (Forestlake Ragamuffin X Tet. Spindazzle) Seldom does a cross go exactly as planned and even less often does it exceed expectations on all levels. When the 80 odd sibs from the cross of (FORESTLAKE RAGAMUFFIN X TETRA SPINDAZZLE) began to bloom, I found myself flagging every other plant. Overall quality was so high, I refused to move them for a second complete bloom season and planted the new seedlings around them. We finally selected 4 for future introduction, and in many ways TOOTH AND NAIL is the finest. This one has the most perfect show scape, with 4 evenly spaced lateral branches and a terminal cluster, and a bud count of 30 or more. This is also the largest at 8" and the most narrow in form and is a cascading UFO, often twisting and curling, giving this one the most spidery appearance of any of these. Also the most fertile, and this is an easy parent both ways and has already produced dramatic tentacles and fringes longer than anything we’ve seen before. The magnificent fringed edge is, of course the major feature of this bronze bitone is the dramatic fringed edge, and this daylily has twice as many teeth as anything else in commerce. Jamie Gossard exclaimed on viewing TOOTH AND NAIL in the first year seedling bed, "I didn't think you could get that many teeth on a daylily!" This has been a major player in our quest for fringed true spiders, and we've used it with everything from LIGHTNING STORM to BLACK TWISTER.2 Also TOOTH AND NAIL is a reliable re-bloomer.....
