Alien Butterfly X Cosmic Kaleidoscope, 5 Seeds
These parents have a common ancestor “Texas Kaleidoscope".
The following information is from the AHS database, or the plant breeder's web site.
=======================================================================
Alien Butterfly
(Gossard, James) 2015 introduction
(Shasta Blue Butterfly x (Super Fancy Face x Texas Kaleidoscope))
Diploid, 36" height, Mid season, Dormant, Early Morning Opener, Fragrant, 5.5" bloom, 3-4 way branching, 18-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Very good rust resistance. Northern Hardy.
Flowers of Alien Butterfly are lavender pink with multi-colored purple maroon eye zone. The throat is very green throat. Alien Butterfly, Blue Perfection and Blue Bubble stand out in the current introductions of most of what coming out this year. Hardy none 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. From pedigrees below, lots of blue eyed parents, but all evergreen. Alien Butterfly is a very important DORMANT parent for blue patterned daylilies.
