| Cactus Blossom
(Gossard, James) 2009 introduction (Strawberry Candy x Heavenly Beginnings) x (Born to Late x Crocodile Smile) Tetraploid, 41 in. Scape, Late, Dormant, emo, fragrant, 5 1/4 in. bloom. 5 way branching, 24 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Very good rust resistance. Northern Hardy. Flowers are strawberry red, covered with thorny cactus tentacles. The tentacles can be huge as seen in the bottom photo. Both of the parents have teeth, the last parent was a seedling from Matthew Kaskel. It had huge teeth, but not the color and it's teeth was heat related. Cactus Blossom dose not need the heat to produce the teeth. The tentacles are strawberry color, outlined in gold. A very good parent for producing eyed flowers with teeth and tentacles. |

H. DR. MARC C. LAROCHE (Corbett J., 2011) Tet H237C-B (Rock Solid x Turn Up The Volume) Ev., MRe., 24 inch scape, 7 inch flower, 4 way branching with 20 buds. Selected as "Best Full Formed Seedling", at the 2010 International Daylily Symposium, H. DR. MARC C. LAROCHE was also the plant selection for the right to name bid. The winners of the bid, Mr. and Mrs. Monast, decided to name the daylily after a dear and important friend in their lives. H. DR. MARC C. LAROCHE has drawn the compliments since its early bloom. Set on a light cream pink base the contrasting starburst purple eye and edge make quite a show. Surrounding the ruffled purple edge is jagged ivory edge of occasional sharks' teeth and all this finished by a bright green throat. H. DR. MARC C. LAROCHE is a wonderful parent for eyes, edges and teeth! This was one of our favorite selections to be named in 2011. Easily fertile both ways.
