the Lily Auction

AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF LEMON RASPBERRY DELIGHT X NAN RIPLEY'S SEEDLING 10NR593B (GREAT CREATOR).

POD PARENT:

LEMON RASPBERRY DELIGHT

(Bushong, G) TET Heavenly Pink Fang x White Fang

16" M Dormant 5" 3-4 way branching 15-20 buds. Fertile both ways.

Unlike tall flowers that attract your attention from across the garden Lemon Raspberry

Delight waits until you walk up to it before it springs its wonderous blooms on

you. The flowers are a raspberry red with a green throat merging into a yellow green

eyezone. The edge is near white and yellow with numerous teeth on the petals and sepals.

Though the scapes are short they are all top branched and a lot of the flowers open "up".

Planted on the border of your flower bed it makes a nice suprise when you walk past it.

The photo on the right shows some extra toothy petals that emerge from the center of

the flower. It doesn't produce these extra petals every time but they are unusual

enough to consider. VERY LIMITED quantities. ........$200

POLLEN PARENT:

NAN HAS INFORMED ME THAT THIS SEEDLING IS NOW REGISTERED. THE NAME IS GREAT CREATOR.

Ripley�s seedling10NR593B (Randy Stephens x Red Friday)Tet

Height 36�, bloom 5.5 +, 4-5 way branching, easy pod setter, pollen excellent. It has been early in my garden, Dormant, and Reblooms. Great red that does not spot with teeth on petals & sepals a plenty.

I will introduce this seedling in 2017. First bloomed in 2012, I feel it gets better each year. In 2013 I moved and divided the plant into two clumps, it still set pods and multiplied.

Last fall I divided one of the clumps. Winner will receive 1 blooming size fan to be shipped in spring 2016. This plant is field grown and hardy in my garden zone 4/5. It has gone through 2 of the hardiest winters we have had since I started hybridizing. It increases well naturally. It is outstanding in my field garden. 10MR593 always opens and doesn�t get hung up. This is one of my best seedlings to date. Outstanding in every way.

This is the only fan that will be sold before introduction in 2017. I will contact the buyer when it is registered with the name. This fan will be shipped to the lucky winner spring of 2016.

If you know me you know my plants. Good Luck!
