AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS OF THE CROSS OF AMETHYST STARDUST X SMILING COBRA.

POD PARENT:

AMETHYST STARDUST

(Benz)tet30" M. Sev. (Ultimate Weapon X Kaskel sdlg 0208)

From top to bottom, AMETHYST STARDUST is a study in symmetry with near perfect balance of plant, scape and bloom. This 5.5" crystal clear lavender glitters with diamond dusting from stem to stern. And the large green throat matches the glistening chartreuse green edge‹a truly exotic bloom. In 2002 Matthew Kaskel bloomed 2 very special gold-edged lavender sdlgs. #127 has become known as "Kaskel's Best Edge." But .#0208 was Matthew's pick and he referred to it as his "gem," due to its near perfect scape and branching and the fact that the 7" blooms with 1/2" gold edge always opened early and flat andŠ.#0208 is nearly rust-proof! Like parent #0208, AMETHYST STARDUST is truly a gem in all aspects of flower and plant.Foliage is evergreen, but tough as nails, with arching blue-green leaves and arrow-straight scapes that bear 3-4 lateral branches at 45° angles up and down the scapes. This perfectly spaced branching allows flowers to open at graduated heights and when 3 or 4 of these ornate blooms are open at once, this daylily can win "best-in-show" anywhere. If you are one of those seeking the elusive "green edge," AMETHYST STARDUST is a valuable tool imparting some of the very greenest edges we've seen. AMETHYST STARDUST has a long and protracted bloom season due to high bud-count and unusually reliable re-bloom. Fragrant and an easy parent both ways. $200.00 SOLD OUT

POLLEN PARENT:

293-C (Emerald Prism x Tet Rose F. Kennedy) TET SEV EMRE 40” 10.75” flower, 6way branching, 40 buds.
You’ve gotta love it when your Cobra is smiling. OK, this is the first, and certainly one of the best Tetra Rose F Kennedy introductions. Keep in mind my conversion is very fertile, and sets pods so I luckily have bloomed tens of thousands of new kids every year now for some 4 years. What that means I am selecting the best, from the best, etc. and it’s all about the green. If it’s not REALLY GREEN it gets tossed. So I give to you SMILING COBRA. Large, tall, and branched like a tree – Even fragrant! SMILING COBRA is fertile both ways and sets pods. My plants have not been baped and so will not be pod sterile. Very, Very Limited.
