AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS OF THE CROSS OF BARBARA MANDRELL X RED ROCKS.

POD PARENT:

Barbara Mandrell

(Kirchhoff) 30" EM, Re Ev 6.25".

The self-color of this flower is candied-berry-red infused with layers of Christmas, Chinese and intense cardinal! A dollop of green punctuates the throat. The colors evoke Christmas and its namesake, beloved music legend, Barbara Mandrell, who was born on Christmas Day. A bright watermark halo contrasts the lacquered red self-color and a sparkling-gold filigree encircles the petals. Its color and substance are sunfast; the texture is smooth and silky. This daylily is a proven parent, producing bright, opulent red, rose and purple seedlings with fancy edges and great clarity. Barbara Mandrell provided the inspiration needed for Pat Bullard of Lifeworks Foundation to create the Nashville Music Garden, an oasis in downtown Nashville. (Twenty Five dollars from each sale will be donated to the Nashville Music Garden). Soon this American icon's namesake will blaze, as has no red daylily before it. The recurrent scapes have four way branching and 25 or more buds.Collection orders will take precedence, as stock is very limited. Please order early to insure shipment.

POLLEN PARENT:

*RED ROCKS (Pierce G.) 1453-A ((When Royals Dream x sdlg) x Red Bull) TET SEV EMRE 40�, 6.5� flower, 7 way branching, 40 Buds.

I�ll say it again. Breeding for the ultimate modern red daylily is by far my toughest challenge.
So to meet this challenge is RED ROCKS. Ruffled, ruffled, and ruffled, this true red has lots of ruffles. Large and quite round with a green throat, RED ROCKS is an improvement over Red Bull. RED ROCKS rocks a tremendous thick scape and is nicely pod fertile, because I know you are going to want to put pollen on her� Again like all my introductions RED ROCKS does not hang and is nice and flat. This was not to be introduced until 2016 so she is scarce. Limited. Luckily she makes prolifs. Fertile both ways.
