POD PARENT HYBRIDIZER'S DESCRIPTION:
CARNIVAL DREAM
(Benz) tet 28" M. Dor. (Carnival Splendor X Tetra Cranberry Eyed Picotee)
This big stunning sib to CARNIVAL TIME is also a large 6" cream pink with a huge brilliant red eye-but CARNIVAL DREAM (Seedling CSp-CEP-1) is a much more dramatic bloom and boasts the biggest boldest red band I have seen in any daylily. Color is a clear soft pink with a startling bright red eye that extends half way out on the petals. A matching red picotee border and bright green throat further embellish this stunning bloom. The intense red color of the eyezone in CARNIVAL DREAM is the end result of stacking the best red-eyed converted diploids on top of one another for 5 generations. For perfection of form, substance, color and sheer beauty, CARNIVAL DREAM surpasses anything so far introduced from Tetra PEPPERMINT DELIGHT, and is hard dormant-a huge plus. Very heavy substance and yet always flat and always perfect regardless of cold nights. Foliage is large and arching, with tall strong scapes and 3-way branching, and a bud-count as high as 20. Fragrant and fertile both ways. CARNIVAL DREAM is rock hardy BLUE GREEN DORMANT. Top picture taken at 7 a.m.; 2 bloom shot taken mid afternoon 90 degree full sun............................SOLD OUT
POD PARENT HYBRIDIZER'S DESCRIPTION:
IT'S A KEEPER
TET 18-5 (Don’t Touch That X Bullfrog X Bullfrog Smooch X Tet. My Cup overflows) 7.5” flower 31” scape, ER, EM, SEV, 4 way branching, 28 buds.
When this flower first bloomed it was an obvious keeper. The difference maker is the converted diploid in the parentage, which produced a large green throat and similar marking on the blunt sepals. The eye and petal edge color is bright red. The heavy substance and round form is also a result of its conversion genes.
