the Lily Auction - The Fun Daylily Marketplace

Auction is for 5 seeds from the cross of PINNACLE PINK X DIAMOND SHORES...5

PINNACLE PINK is the culmination of nearly 30 years of hybridizing with one single-minded goal‹perfectly round symmetrical form with lavish ruffling and refinement. LINDA AGIN was Tom Wilson's crowning achievement and in hybridizing, the converted tetraploid can improve every aspect of nearly anything with which it is crossed. In PINNACLE PINK, Tet. LINDA AGIN has expanded the dimensions of JANET BENZ to the unbelievable. 5 1/4" blooms boast petals over 4 inches in diameter and 2" sepals as well. These oversquare blooms are simply engulfed in huge undulating flutes and ruffles, and substance is the heaviest I have encountered in any pink daylily tet or dip‹bar none. A flower of which I could scarcely conceive in 1980 and I am still in awe when I walk out in the garden in the early morning and see blooms this wide and heavy and with such lavish ruffling open. PERFECTLY flat by 6.a.m PINNACLE PINK is reminiscent of parent JANET BENZ, but improved on every point. Color is a cleaner smoother shade of pink with a larger and more intense green throat. Much smoother texture and most veining and all traces of the halo are gone. Plants are huge and incredibly vigorous with strong thick scapes and 2-3 way branching with about 20 buds. Wonderfully fragrant and fertile both ways. Proving a tremendous parent for heavily ruffled pink, rose and even reds and deep purples. My personal favorite pink introduction and I am still using it both ways. Re-blooms. $250.00 SOLD OUT

*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.
