the Lily Auction

AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF THE BORN TO BE WILD X ROSSEN'S RED LIPS.

POD PARENT:

*BORN TO BE WILD (Pierce, G.) 8163-A (((Calling All Angles x Sue Brown) x Mountain Wildflower) x Fringy) SEV EM 32� 6.25� flower, 6 way branching, 35-40 buds. The perfect name for literally a perfect modern daylily, and �Oh My Heavens� a great parent!!! In 2008, I wanted to put a green edge all around the edges of Floyd Cove�s richly colored eyed daylilies. Of course I got the stuffed shirt lecture� and as you can see by this cross I put the lovely Fringy on our edged and eyed hems.

From six seed came four keepers, two dormant and two SEV. All were extremely pod fertile and began throwing winning offspring. I was going to introduce one of the dormant sibs but it looked too similar to BTBW to be released. Anyway, BORN TO BE WILD has all the modern criteria that are essential to be released as a Floyd Cove daylily. Low arching foliage, scape height and buds, color clarity, health, and a unique look, BTBW got it�s great fertility from the pod parent, and will accept any pollen you give her easily. This trait has been passed down to her future offspring, and they are dreamy. The base color of BORN TO BE WILD is a clean near white with a plum purple eye and a matching purple picottee, the picottee is then completely edged in chartreuse. There is also a bright green throat. Very easily fertile. Limited

POLLEN PARENT:

ROSSEN�S RED LIPS
Tet 13-34 (Bullfrog kisses X Too Hot to Touch)
7�, EM, RE, SEV, 32� Scape, 4 Way Branching, 28 Buds

Rossen�s Red Lips is the pinnacle of our red eye and edge breeding. We are well known for our previous introductions in this color type and unlike some Rossen�s Red Lips has intense true red colors, the throat is bright green with a large red eye. The petals have a large ruffled edge of the same color. The base color is a very lite chiffon yellow giving a wonderful contrast.
Large blooms have outstanding shape and substance on strong tall scapes. A real Beauty.
