Pod parent: DITMTR-5 (unregistered) 34” M-ML DOR 5½-6” this deep burgundy Crispate Unusual Form not only displays lots of wild movement, it displayed lots of buds in its first year in the selected bed with 4 strong scapes each holding 2-3 laterals under the terminal Y and over 30 buds. Positively being observed for future introduction. (DAREDEVIL IMP X THE MOUSE THAT ROARED).
Pollen parent: BANSHEE CRADLESONG (Michaels 2013 introduction registered in 2012) M-ML 44" DOR 6½" (11½" wingspan) 6.2-6.3125:1 cascading spider. An apricot pink blend with rose violet eye over a large golden yellow throat. Increases much faster than its notoriously slow father. I hesitated registering this because, while it has very strong wiry scapes (doesn't even lean, much less flop), it only has one lateral and 16 buds. When I queried the Pittsburgh Iris and Daylily Society in early 2011, however, they said register it. Perhaps they were being kind, but I have loved this seedling since day one (I used to call it the most beautiful spider I've seen) and have a number of selections from it. Fertile both ways, it’s the pollen parent of MIMI’S BANNER, STARFISH ENTERPRISE and WIZARD DELUXE. Makes skinny fans that are occasionally variegated with white. Seedling BWHWB-18. (BANSHEE WHISPER X WILLIE BELLE).
