TRYINGFOR A HUGE GREEN FACE ON A BROKEN PATTERN..
GALACTIC GREEN
(Pierce G 2016)
2098-B (Emerald Prism x Tetra Rose F. Kennedy) EMre SEV/DOR emo 34” 8.25-8.5” flower, 4 way branching, 25 buds, fragrant.
What an impact. The #1 garden question was “Is that big green one a dip? GALACTIC GREEN has been my best parent for throwing the biggest “GREEN” daylilies period. Opens perfectly on every bloom and is easily pod fertile. The pollen has a bit of cream yellow in it but it IS fertile and what is most important are those pods. How many new expensive daylilies do you buy that are practically pod sterile when you try to use them! Really I hate that!!! GALACTIC GREEN has twice the substance of a regular tetraploid. Not only will you love GALACTIC GREEN blooming, but you will love what she does in your seedling patch. Enjoy.

SPLATTER
(2011 MUSSAR)
(SHISHEDO X EXPANDING UNIVERSE)
For several years now I've had a breeding goal focused on producing a spotted daylily. Many years ago well before daylilies, I collected orchids and recall how the selective breeding of a few phalenopsis species led to the heavily spotted cultivars we see today. I wondered if the same thing would be possible with daylilies? At the time nobody appeared to be working on this goal. However in breeding sometimes you don't get what you are looking for!
SPLATTER came out of those early efforts. The flower has a light peach-melon base with a variable dusty rose overlay that produces a mottled patterned effect. The pattern reminds me a bit of a plicata-like effect that is seen in iris. It is variable with a different look each day and occasionally has a simple speckled pattern. SPLATTER has a green throat and a fine gold edge on the petals. The 5" flowers are borne on 27" tall scapes with up to 2 laterals and a terminal Y or W bud cluster. Bud count on this Mid to Late season bloomer is in the 20 range. Tetraploid. Foliage is Dormant despite its evergreen parentage (Shishedo x Expanding Universe). Fertile both ways.
This flower is being introduced primarily as a hybridizer's plant. I have a hard time calling it pretty but it is distinctive. SPLATTER is producing patterned kids and I continue to use it heavily in my breeding program.
