Pod parent: OCTARINE (Michaels 2012 intro registered in 2011) 35" M DOR EMO "Octarine" is the name for the color of magic, visible only to wizards and cats, in the Disc World novels by Terry Prachett, and this 6" daylily is all about color. Purple with a cream to green throat, it displays a deeper eye that becomes considerably darker when the weather turns chilly. A sibling to NINA NINA WOLVERINA with 2 laterals and 22-25 buds, it clumps quickly and is very pod and moderately pollen fertile. A diploid that makes narrowish fans. (DALLAS STAR Seedling 2-12 X PURPLE CORN DANCER).
Pollen parent: MYTHPERCEPTION (Michaels 2007) M 32" DOR 8" light peach cream with pale pinkish gray chevron eye that gives the illusion of being water soaked, chartreuse throat. Crispate Unusual Form diploid with pinched petals and sepals that quill at the throat. One lateral and 19 buds, it can lean until established. Outer scapes on a large clump will also lean out a bit, allowing the clump to take on an impressive Chrysanthemum-like dome shape covered with uncrowded blooms, a case where a bit of lean is an asset. Medium green leaves, it's a fast increaser making average sized fans. Only minimally pod fertile for me (but Nina Lapierre has had lots of success), the pollen is strong and it passes interesting eyes. Grandfather of MOTH WING CONFETTI. (PRAGUE SPRING X SCRAMBLED LEGS).
