AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF RULING SHOGUN X RAMBLING RED.

POD PARENT:

RULING SHOGUN

(Benz) tet 34" M. Dor (Last Samurai X Nancy Thomas)

Huge, ruffled, and always perfect, is possibly my finest red to date. Larger than either parent at a full 6 1/2" in size, this beautiful heavily ruffled crimson red with its large green throat is a benchmark in my red program. Red color is superior to pod-parent LAST SAMURAI, and RULING SHOGUN takes size and form from NANCY THOMAS, but is larger and heavier than its renowned pollen-parent. Always flat and very sunfast, and the green throat holds. RULING SHOGUN has no “bad hair” days....always perfect regardless of cold nights. Plants are large, powerful and blue-green dormant; scapes are tall, straight and strong, with beautifully spaced 4-way branching and a total of 22 buds. Very fragrant and fertile both ways....SOLD OUT

WE BLOOMED OUR BEST EVER REDS AND PURPLES THE LAST TWO YEARS AND RULING SHOGUN IS THE PARENT MOST OF THEM HAD IN COMMON.

POLLEN PARENT:

*RAMBLING RED

(Pierce G) 346-A (Crimson Cowboy x Watermelon Red) x Red Edition EMre EV 30” 6.5” flower, 4 way branching, 30 buds.
Finally I am beginning to get the green back in the throats of red daylilies. Once Big Red Wagon was taken to the Floyd Cove Red lines, yes they got bigger and with gold edges, but they ALL had that darn orange throat. Of all the daylily colors Reds especially need that green throat. So the prize goes to RAMBLING RED. True red color with big ruffled overlapped petals, a lovely watermelon red watermark, lots of sparkling gold in the petal edges and a big green throat. And… RAMBLING RED is easily pod FERTILE both ways and a great parent! You’re Welcome. Enjoy.
