AUCTION IS FOR FIVE SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF BARBARA MANDRELL X LIVING IN PARADISE.

POD PARENT:

Barbara Mandrell

(Kirchhoff) 30" EM, Re Ev 6.25".

The self-color of this flower is candied-berry-red infused with layers of Christmas, Chinese and intense cardinal! A dollop of green punctuates the throat. The colors evoke Christmas and its namesake, beloved music legend, Barbara Mandrell, who was born on Christmas Day. A bright watermark halo contrasts the lacquered red self-color and a sparkling-gold filigree encircles the petals. Its color and substance are sunfast; the texture is smooth and silky. This daylily is a proven parent, producing bright, opulent red, rose and purple seedlings with fancy edges and great clarity. Barbara Mandrell provided the inspiration needed for Pat Bullard of Lifeworks Foundation to create the Nashville Music Garden, an oasis in downtown Nashville. (Twenty Five dollars from each sale will be donated to the Nashville Music Garden). Soon this American icon's namesake will blaze, as has no red daylily before it. The recurrent scapes have four way branching and 25 or more buds.Collection orders will take precedence, as stock is very limited. Please order early to insure shipment.

When evaluating seedlings I get pickier each year. LIVING IN PARADISE when looking at the whole plant it has almost everything I'm looking for. It's very hard to get everything you want in one package. One of the problems with dark flowers is they seem to draw more insect than pastels. After using Tet Rose F. Kennedy and Tet. Emerald Starburst I find my insect problems with colored flowers are way down. LIVING IN PARADISE is one of my best flowers I have ever hybridized.
