Bob Faulkner x Blue Perfection, 5 seeds
My last posting of this cross, for this season.
The following information is from the AHS database, or the plant breeder's web site.
============================================================
Bob Faulkner
(Polston, 2006)
(Malachite Prism x Starman's Quest)
height 32 in.(81 cm), bloom 5.5 in.(14 cm), season EM, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, 15 buds, 3 branches,
Color:Smoky purple mauve with darker purple red eye above green triangular throat.
Awards: HM 2011
=====================================================================
Blue Perfection
(Gossard, James) 2015 introduction
(Shasta Blue Butterfly) x (Super Fancy Face x Texas Kaleidoscope)
Diploid, 30 in. height, Mid season, Dormant, Early Morning Opener, Fragrant, 5.5 in. bloom, 3-4 way branching, 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Very good rust resistance. Northern Hardy.
Flowers of Blue Perfection are cream to near white with a multi-colored patterned eye zone of blues, violet, purple and maroon. The throat is very green throat. The petals, sepals and edge are patterned. The eye zone is very blue. I believe it to be the bluest DORMANT full formed diploid introduced to-date. A super good parent for hybridizing large blue patterned Daylilies. As you can see from pedigrees, lots of blue eyed parents, but all evergreen. Blue Perfection is an very important parent for blue.
Alien Butterfly, Blue Perfection and Blue Bubble stand out in the current introductions of most of what coming out this year. (2015) Hardly any are dormant. And the biggest fault is all the pinching in the throat and flowers are soft. A super hard trait to breed out. Not so bad in narrow flowers but not a good trait in round. These flowers open back, super important for cold night opening. If a southern flower shows just a little of this trait it will be worst in the north. If you cross with these and/or Chasing your heart, you can correct for this right away in next generation.
