Flowers of Monster Quest are purple with feathered pink watermark (A pattern daylily by AHS definition) and dark purple eye zone and a very green throat. Edge is toothy white, more so on sepals than petals. My goal has been to take Emerald Starburst line into the tetraploids and create a round northern hardy nocturnal tooth line. For many years I disliked nocturnal daylilies because they start opening the night before and lose color by noon and close up by late afternoon. Living in the north we have cold nights, 48-50 degrees F sometimes. As a result flowers open poorly, the pattern and toothy daylilies seem to be the worst. I wanted a daylily that was perfect in the mornings after a cold night but yet take the high heat and still look good at 8 PM. This also corrects for the same problem in the south also. Daylilies that do not melt and are able to look good at 8pm. Everyone said could not be done. However with this new line from Tetra Emerald Starburst I got what I was looking for. Monster Quest is one of the first of many future generations which corrects for this problem in the north. A super good parent for hybridizing large patterned toothy daylilies. Thanks Larry Grace for sharing genetics and selling me tetra Emerald Starburst!. Monster Quest is super pod fertile. Pollen is great to, but you can set so many pods why even use the pollen.You will see Monster Quest in a lot of future introductions. Pedigree is also very interesting being conversion and the best of the big edge flowers. These rare genes not found in any other round daylilies. I just love this daylily. A super hybridizing and garden plant.........$250 single fan... Single fans only, so all can utilize these important genes.
