TEXAS FEATHERED FANCY
CARPENTER 2006
(20”-5.25”-MRe-DOR) – LAVENDER BLUE BABY X Unknown – This was the first seedling to bloom from LAVENDER BLUE BABY having that special new characteristic which we call feathering in the throat. It later appeared in some Tet LBB kids. In any case this cultivar has been in tremendous demand for some time and there are many reserves on it for that reason. It is unique having the very thick and hardened “feathers” in the throat area of the petals. Fertile both ways.

TFF BREEDING PER REEDER:
Lavender Feathers has an interesting backstory. It derives from a group of seeds, all from various crosses with Texas Feathered Fancy, that I bought on the Lily Auction in late fall 2010 or early winter 2011. There were 15 seeds in that group from Texas Feathered Fancy x Lavender Blue Baby (TFFxLBB). Lavender Blue Baby is one of the parents of Texas Feathered Fancy, so this was a backcross. From the 15 seeds of this cross, I germinated 12 and raised 12 seedlings in 2011. I did not see any blooms in 2012 on any of these seedlings, but by late summer of 2012, I had my first big rust outbreak. I used this to screen for resistance in the cultivars and seedlings I had on hand at that time. Of the 12 seedlings from TFFxLBB, only one showed any rust resistance and it showed no rust at all that year (or any year thereafter). I discarded all the susceptible seedlings (except one that showed moderate rust resistance, which is still in my mom’s garden that I have never bred from). This was very disheartening. I was certain there was no way I would possibly get any cristation from one seedling, but I kept it for the rust resistance alone (purple and lavender rust resistant daylilies are quite rare).
