POD PARENT DESCRIPTION:
Vampire Fish
(Gossard, James) 2014 introduction Seedling # Sun1
((Sun bear x Julie Newmar) x (Sword Dancer)) x (Rosy Spiketail)
Hexaploid 38" Mid Late season Dormant emo fr 9" 4-5 way branching 22-28 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer.
Flowers of VAMPIRE FISH are rose pink with a darker rose wine eye zone. Sepals and petals are edged in claws, fangs, teeth, and tentacles. The color of the teeth can vary depending upon position. They can be gold, green, and white. Has a yellow green throat. And it is a dormant. Has a lot of eyed daylilies in its background. It is a full sib to Larry's Twilight Bite, but a pink version. It is my absolute favorite of all my teeth introductions to date. I have never seen a daylily with with more teeth than Vampire Fish. I have everyone that I show it to touch the teeth. They come out in all directions by 3/4 inch and some are over an inch long. Great parent for hybridizing for patterned eyes and teeth which are also patterned. When I lined it out in September it was still sending up rebloom scapes. A super garden and hybridizing daylily. It starts blooming mid late season and can go all the way until frost.

A while back on the Facebook Daylily Hybridizer's Nook group run by my friend Bobbi Johnson, the question was asked whether hybridizers stick with their own lines or whether they import other genetics into their breeding. While I do cross some seedling on seedling of my own breeding, every year I visit other hybridizers gardens to see what they are working on, where they are headed, and buy from them when I see something outstanding that would do well in my program. I spend thousands of dollars every year on introductions from other hybridizers, not only in support of their craft, but also to benefit from the different genetics and lines by incorporating them into my own. CARNOSAUR is one of my Crowning achievements and one of the introductions I am most proud of introducing this year. Not only is it a KILLER sunfast, hard to achieve blood-red, but it also utilizes in its parents' genetics some of what I consider my friends Mike Holmes, John Benz, and Matthew Kaskel's best work with Benz's White Fang, a seedling of Kaskel's and Holmes's Happy Holidays to You. Carnosaur is not only an OUTSTANDING, stand-out daylily amongst its toothy peers, but has UNLIMITED potential to take color saturation, teeth, and plant performance to a whole new level.........$150 SF, SOLD OUT.
