BORN TO RUN
(Stamile,P.) TET 4179-A (Coronal Light x Roses And Gold) 28” MRe. strongly diurnal. Ev. 6” x 3 5/8” x 2 ¼”. 5-way branching (3 laterals + terminal “Y”). 30-35 buds. A very favorite of Grace’s, BORN TO RUN is simply our finest gold-edged red to date. Large, flat and bright with over-square pansy shaped petals BORN TO RUN is “born to run” with the best. First blooms on BORN TO RUN are often a completely red self with a prominent gold edge on both petals and sepals. As the flower continues to bloom a light watermark appears above the citron green throat which accentuates the “pansy-like” pattern created by the over square petals and flat face. An amazing flower BORN TO RUN is a breakthrough in edging in reds and an incredible parent for gold edged reds. Moreover, one of the most endearing qualities of the flower, the pansy shape, is easily passed on to its seedlings. A superb flower and one of our most exciting daylilies to date
MASTER& BOLD RULER
(Pierce G.) 4406-H ((Midnight Castle x Buffalo Thunder) x Max Factor) TET, EV, EMRE, 40” high, 9 1/2” - 11 ¾” When extended. 5 way branching, 40 Buds. HUGE Zones 4-9 Hardy
Where in the world do I begin? Firstly, I want to point out that no daylily that I have created and probably will create will change for the better the future of Daylily Hybridizing. This daylily is truly The Master of our garden. MASTER & BOLD RULER has no faults. If you look at the above stats and embrace the following you will see why I love it so. I would like to add though that this long description is not about pride or exaggeration, or is priced for greed. I basically got lucky and this leap forward is a game changer; not only for me but for everyone who chooses to see or breed with him. My claim to fame is simply long hours and hard work, so while breeding for BIG, I made as many crosses and seed as I could, forgoing other directions, to simply explore the gene pool of big! I mostly use the same technique today.
OK here are some facts: The Master has never lost a plant; whether dividing-up in August or in a clump. He has grown and survived well over this past winter in a zone 4 section of New Hampshire after a cold winter with no mulching or snow cover! Regarding the size factor, the phrase genetically jumped the fence is precisely what has happened; again to ALL OF OUR good fortune… The process went from two parents approx. 7” to an offspring over 70% larger. Like a horse giving birth to an elephant! With large ruffles and the occasional angel wings, MASTER AND BOLD RULER does not hang-up and has the strength to always open no matter what’s in the petals way. Pod Fertility is average to good whereas generally big flowers are the hardest to set on. There are many other attributes. One problem for me is once I release this monster how do I then introduce 7 ½”, 7 ¾” or 8” futures?
