PINNACLE PINK
(Benz) tet 24" M. Sev. -Ev. (Janet Benz X Tet. Linda Agin)
PINNACLE PINK is the culmination of nearly 30 years of hybridizing with one single-minded goal‹perfectly round symmetrical form with lavish ruffling and refinement. LINDA AGIN was Tom Wilson's crowning achievement and in hybridizing, the converted tetraploid can improve every aspect of nearly anything with which it is crossed. In PINNACLE PINK, Tet. LINDA AGIN has expanded the dimensions of JANET BENZ to the unbelievable. 5 1/4" blooms boast petals over 4 inches in diameter and 2" sepals as well. These oversquare blooms are simply engulfed in huge undulating flutes and ruffles, and substance is the heaviest I have encountered in any pink daylily tet or dip‹bar none. A flower of which I could scarcely conceive in 1980 and I am still in awe when I walk out in the garden in the early morning and see blooms this wide and heavy and with such lavish ruffling open. PERFECTLY flat by 6.a.m PINNACLE PINK is reminiscent of parent JANET BENZ, but improved on every point. Color is a cleaner smoother shade of pink with a larger and more intense green throat. Much smoother texture and most veining and all traces of the halo are gone. Plants are huge and incredibly vigorous with strong thick scapes and 2-3 way branching with about 20 buds. Wonderfully fragrant and fertile both ways. Proving a tremendous parent for heavily ruffled pink, rose and even reds and deep purples. My personal favorite pink introduction and I am still using it both ways. Re-blooms. $250.00 SOLD OUT
AUCTION IS FOR 5 SEEDS FROM THE CROSS OF PINNACLE PINK X GREENZILLA.

POLLEN PARENT DESCRIPTION:
*GREENZILLA G. Pierce 481-FD (Diamond Shores x Purple Ninja ) x Purple Ninja DOR- SEV EM RE 34” high 9” flower 5 way branching 30 Buds. Oh My… Honestly, I don’t know whether to describe GREENZILLA as a HUGE Green flower with a bit of darker purple, or the other way around, all I KNOW is she is a keeper and… an unreal parent. The entire flower surface is Diamond Dusted and hard. No, not bullet-proof or priceless – Just impressive! You may get into arguments with folk trying to tell you that “That flower is Not a daylily”. This has been my joy and I see No End in sight with futuristic hems. Lucky Us… GREENZILLA is a daylily that is always great. Crank-up the heat and hear her purr, being Dormant she should be even better for You! Fertile both ways.
