Michael Miller x Lonesome Diva 6 seeds

MICHAEL MILLER
(Stamile,P.) TET 7419-G (Great White x Platinum And Gold) 30� EMRe. nofr. emo. ev. 6� x 3 �� x 2�. 3-way branching. 22 buds. When Michael asked me to name my best white for him, both Grace and I thought immediately of 7419-G. We had admired it all season. This cream white was more white than cream. While it did not have the elaborate flutes, furls and ruffles of a VICTORIAN LACE, there was something about MICHAEL MILLER that garnered special attention. It could not be the size since VICTORIAN LACE was larger at 7�. It could not be the gold edging since both CORTINA and NEW DIRECTION had bigger gold edges. I think the thing that sets MICHAEL MILLER off is its great elegance. It simply is one of the most beautifully formed whites with hardly ever a bad flower. Looking down a row of MICHAEL MILLER you are struck by this quality. A lot of whites go white by thinning out the substance. This is not the case with MICHAEL MILLER. The substance is excellent for a white.
If you hybridize you will appreciate MICHAEL MILLER�s ability to pass on both size and substance. If the other parent has a gold edge, the results are phenomenal! The MICHAEL MILLER x VICTORIAN LACE and MICHAEL MILLER x JT DAVIS this past season were breathtaking. While not as green as KEY LIME ICE, MICHAEL MILLER does have enough green to enhance the coolness of the white. A fabulous daylily. Fertile both ways

Lonesome Diva

(April LaQuinta x Lilly King) (Diana Culbertson x Lady Alvatine). Dor. to Sev. 7" fl. 24" sc. M 20 buds. Excellent to good rust resistance. Fertile both ways. Plants go completely dormant in cold winters, and are heavy rebloomers, blooming for 4 months in Florida. I like large, showy flowers, and the blooms of Lonesome Diva are massive! Not only are the blooms so large, the petals are also extremely wide and deeply ruffled, with the deep scalloped ruffling going nearly to the midrib. The ruffling is often deeply folded and crimped with a gold to chartreuse edge. The self color is a coral to mango pink. Add to this that this is another of this year's dormant introductions that are strong vigorous growers in Florida. The flowers of Lonesome Diva are so huge and voluptuous, they create a grand presence in the garden that stops visitors in their tracks.
