Pod parent: RAYGUN GOTHIC (Michaels 2014 intro registered in 2013) L 49" DOR deep red 8½" Spider with cream midribs, a cream edge on all tepals and a creamy yellow to green throat. Opening quite flat and early even in cold weather, the sepals recurve at the tips and the petals sometimes twist. Strong scapes with 1-2 laterals host 18-22 buds to add some spark to the late season garden. Extremely pod fertile, the pollen is great, too. Spider ratio ranges from 4:1-4.8:1. Clarity of color may stem from the fact that this daylily spent its formative years as a pastel: grandma was a near white, grandpa a very pale lavender pink and their grandkid, this seedling's mother, was an even paler pink until it met up with daddy. Fertile both ways, it makes narrowish fans. Seedling CPKFFCSTBWHMS-1. {[ CANDLESTICK PARK x FUN FLING) x ( BANSHEE WHISPER x CERULEAN STAR)] X MASCARA SNAKE}.
Pollen parent: CREATURE CONCEPT (Michaels 2013 introduction registered in 2012) Mre 32" SEV 9" pinched and quilled red violet with cream midribs over a green throat. Measuring it for spideriness presented a challenge since the petals always pinch (sepals always quill a bit, too), so I measured the width both as standing and flattened to get an average of 1¼" inches, giving the bloom a Spider ratio of 4.376:1. Averages 2 lateral branches and 22 buds. Quite fertile both ways, it rebloomed the past 4 years and makes narrow fans. Kids from it all seem to have heavy and smooth substance. Seedling FLAPZL-15 (FLAMINGO FLAMBEAU X PRETZEL LOGIC).
