Blue Beetle has creme pink flowers with a eyezone of charcoal, light blue, blue ,lavender blue, lavender purple, purple , maroon and maroon red. Petals even have a start of a gold edge, see outside photo. Blue Beetle is my best introduction for 2010 for many reasons. One of the difficulties of hybridizing for Blue eyed daylilies is that they are blue in the morning and by noon they are more lavender. Blue Beetle is my best one which retains the blue eye in the afternoon, it was and still is my number 1 parent for blue daylilies. Substance is very good and flowers hold up to the evening hours. Thus, I consider Blue Beetle a real break though. Third of the way through bloom, it starts to double. Rebloom scapes can be fully double. Because it dose not double all the time, it was not registered as a double. Blue Beetle's form is in between and can be utilized in round or narrow hybridizing. Dianna has taken it all over to her doubles, I used it a lot this past season with both narrow and round forms. Lots of conversions in Blue Beetle such as Tetra Crystal Blue Persuasion, Tetra In the Navy, Tetra Spell Fire and Tetra Elsie Spalding. Blue Beetle is a break through in blue pattern breeding at the tet level..........
