Auction is for 5 seeds from the cross of IRISH HALO X DIAMOND SHORES.
POD PARENT:
IRISH HALO. [(Leslie Renee x Angels Gather Around) x (Leslie Renee x Angels Gather Around)]. Semi-evergreen. Tetraploid. Early blooms. 30” tall, 4-way branching, 20 buds, 5 ½” flower. This is my best green edged daylily. IRISH HALO has a deep green throat, and a lovely ivory polychrome self, with a gorgeous green edge that surrounds each of the petals. This spring I entered IRISH HALO as a numbered seedling into the competition at our annual Daylily Show. We had fifteen (15) judges. IRISH HALO was selected as the best seedling, then, it was judged to be the very best of the 496 daylilies that were entered in the show. Each of the 15 judges decided separately that IRISH HALO was unique, that it was noticeably distinctive, and that, indeed, it was the “Best in the Show.” What better recommendation could there be for a new introduction? You will truly appreciate IRISH HALO because it has four-way branching, and buds that are not crowded or overly concentrated. From the first bloom to the last bloom, you will appreciate and adore this unique creation. Pod and pollen fertile.
POLLEN PARENT:
*DIAMOND SHORES (Pierce G.) 2172-C (Cutting Loose x Tetra Rose F. Kennedy) x Tetra Rose F. Kennedy) TET, SEV, EMre, 36” high, 6.25” flower, 5 way branching, 35-40 buds, Extra Pod Fertile.
Wow...You will go out of your way to look and look again at DIAMOND SHORES. I have made tens of thousands of Tet RFK kids. The pollen was easy to use but getting the green and that introduction quality look was not. So I put Tet RFK on her again and – BOOM. You have it. A flower where 90% of the petals surface is covered with diamond green and super sparkly. Twice as thick as a regular Tet. The substance feels like gliding your fingers over an orange peel. Powerful as a parent. DIAMOND SHORES will put that green orange peel glitter on almost anything you put her on. You watch… DIAMOND SHORES is a tetraploid miracle, and I’ll be setting on her for years to come. I am so happy to able to share her with you. Honestly she is priceless. What would (You) sell her for? Fertile both ways. BREATHTAKING and Limited.
