Roman Steel (Pierce G.)
1451-B (Cutting Loose X Magical Marrakech) X Sib to Buffalo Thunder) TET SEV EE 30” 7” flower, 6 way branching, 35-40 buds.
This is easily one of my finest daylilies, well admired by Matthew Kaskell along with Bluegrass Shadows, which at the time were side by side when Matthew visited. I have bloomed well over a hundred thousand purple seedlings and rarely does a daylily have the presence of Roman Steel. I cannot tell you everything in words just that she sings with style!!! The rich purple petals have dark purple veining throughout and are outlined in a strong ruffled white edge. Inside the edge is a bluish silver shadow that matches the large watermark above the green throat. Honestly Roman Steel looks 3-D to me and is one of the heaviest flowers I grow. I have not been able to truly capture the lure of this daylily in a photo, though every pic could be a cover shot; and I will not use magnifying lenses! Anyway, this flower takes my breath away and I will be continuing to use Roman Steel for some time. Easily fertile both ways, with great success. Very heavy substance. This is a daylily that I would like to see win the Stout Medal someday
QUOTING HEMINGWAY
(Pierce G.) 3195-A (Bluegrass Shadows x Sdlg) SEV, EE, 40” tall, 7.5” flower, 7 way branching, 55-60 buds Multi Rebloom/Everbloomer.
Bluegrass Shadows has been a tremendous parent for me and I got use her again heavily this year. QUOTING HEMMINGWAY is thus far one of my best daylilies for breeding. The very wide ruffled white to yellow/white edge is absolutely amazing. There is a large bluish/silver watermark that is quite refreshing and this bluish color sparkles around the petals inside the big ruffles. The thick edge reminds me of sparkling clouds and the whole impression is of a holiday in Key West, hence the name – QUOTING HEMMINGWAY. This flower absolutely wows me and blooms nonstop. A strong and easy grower I hope you enjoy growing QUOTING HEMMINGWAY as much as I have. I will continue to use this daylily for years to come. Fertile both ways. Very Limited
