Thank you for checking out the seeds offered by Daredevil Daylily!
Pod parent: BLPMOM-45 (unregistered) 38 ML- L DOR 8½ (13 wingspan) dusty pink and purple blend with a grayed eye over a large yellow to green throat. A Crispate/Cascade Unusual Form with fairly thick substance that curls and twists. Fertile both ways, it tends to throw a lot of stippled and grayish kids, also with heavy substance Despite having only one lateral and 16 buds, I believe it is unique enough, and positively an interesting enough parent, that its introduction is planned for 2017. (BLACK PASSION X MONSTER MAGIC).
Pollen parent: BANSHEE CRADLESONG (Michaels 2013 introduction registered in 2012) M-ML 44" DOR 6½" (11½" wingspan) 6.2-6.3125:1 cascading spider. An apricot pink blend with rose violet eye over a large golden yellow throat. Increases much faster than its notoriously slow father. I hesitated registering this because, while it has very strong wiry scapes (doesn't even lean, much less flop), it only has one lateral and 16 buds. When I queried the Pittsburgh Iris and Daylily Society in early 2011, however, they said register it. Perhaps they were being kind, but I have loved this seedling since day one (I used to call it the most beautiful spider I've seen) and have a number of selections from it. Fertile both ways, its the pollen parent of STARFISH ENTERPRISE and a 2016 intro yet to be named. Its also, surprisingly, the pollen parent of several of my patterned spider seedlings, one of which is a probable 2017 intro. Makes skinny fans that are occasionally variegated with white. Seedling BWHWB-18. (BANSHEE WHISPER X WILLIE BELLE).
Goals: Despite the parents only having 16 buds each, this is my favorite cross with BLPMOM-45 this year as I anticipate skinnier, though probably not spider skinny, with super strong scapes. Also expecting lots of twists and curls. Hoping that the higher bud count of BLACK PASSION is channeled.
