Spatulate Unusual Form with pinching and twisting action in the
segments. Flower form is flat as a dinner plate and as
large as one! A gorgeous violet with a purple blue band on the petals
and a ruffled cream picotee on all segments! This diamond dusted
bloom has a chartreuse throat and the petals display a micro-ruffled
near bubbly texture -- this trait is prevalent in PURPLE SATELLITE's
children. We are getting many gorgeous CLEAR purples from Purple
Satellite. PS was absolutely the best parent for purple-blue
spiders and UFs in the '01 seedling crop! BELLADONNA STARFISH (a
full pod-sibling to TRIUNE BEING) has been a wonderful parent, and many
of her children display this knobby edging and lighter picotee -- very
uncommon in the Unusual Forms class. Very fertile pollen,
reluctant pod parent, but I did not know it was nocturnal when I was
testing it. Hit it at dusk, and you may ,well, get pods.
Very vigorous grower/clumper though fans are not large.
If you want to breed purple spider/UFs with purple blue eyes this is your parent, I can not stress this enough....

JEWEL OF SHINAR

Mahieu 2001
JEWEL OF SHINAR 25 E 8 inch spatulate spider variant. Petals 5 x
1.25” 4.0:1 ratio. B&B 3x12. I do not hybridize
for reds, but certainly couldn’t argue when this beauty
opened! The flower descends from a Wilson seedling that is a waxy
pale orange cascade with great substance, and a green throat.
This I crossed with Lambert’s famous “sleeper”
EMERALD EYE. Jewel of Shinar is a wonderful, clear red with blue
overtones, a very faint suggestion of a watermark 3/4 of the way out on
the petals a smart white midrib and gorgeous deep green throat that
lasts all day. This beauty also throws the occasional 4x4
polytepal bloom.
Fertile both ways SEV.

These last three cultivars are LOST TO CULTIVATION. They
died in a "propagation" disaster. I was using the protocols
published in the AHS Journal for crown division in conjunction with
hydroponics -- with devastating results. Please don't attempt this!
All existing plants of these cultivars rotted in my hydroponics -- of this I am positive.
I only list them here as they were important parents for me, and
they are in the AHS database as registered cultivars. I have
noted in bold existing siblings and progeny of note. The good
news is that I have thousands of seedlings that continue these lines of
breeding. |
ETHEREAL PRESENCE (Lost to Cultivation)
#MAH-D96-25A
Diploid. 6 inch flower, 28 inch scapes, Mid-Season Bloom, Dormant.
A
clear lilac and white bi-color star with a darker halo above a chalky
lemon to chartreuse throat. This flower is truly an ETHEREAL PRESENCE
in the garden! It is the clearest lilac and white daylily I have
seen. These photos were taken at the end of a hot , sunny day and the
segments were still crisp and sparkling with diamond-dusting. The
large, pale lemon throat is striking against the deep lilac halo, and
the form is always beautifully symmetrical.

Diploid 9 inch flower, 40” sturdy scapes, Early Mid-Season Bloom, Dormant, Nocturnal, extended.
Another-worldly, pale cobalt violet variable crispate with one-half inch wide
watermarked
lavender-blue chevrons on the petals. Chalky lemon to
chartreuse
throat which holds all day. Diamond dusted, extremely fertile
pollen,
some pods. The edges of the petals on TRIUNE BEING are
micro-ruffled
giving the effect of being knobby (see the detail). The segments
twist, curl, pinch and lightly cascade. Sometimes the
segments display
a lighter piccotee. The flowers open pale cobalt violet, and on
hot
sunny days lighten to a powdery lavender-blue. These photos were
taken
at the end of a hot, sunny day with a 100 degree F heat index!
Light
fragrance.

Diploid. 6 inch flower on 30 inch scapes, Early Mid-Season Bloom, Dormant.
A
bizarre crispate Unusual Form Daylily with pinched petals and sepals
which quill and hook on the ends -- hence the reference to the vicious
velociraptors in Jurassic Park! The color of this flower is a
marvelous chocolate-taupe with a huge, blackish-plum eyezone and a deep
green throat which holds all day. In the morning the color is darker,
yet like its mother TRAHLYTA, the bloom matures to its smashing
chocolate color which makes the splashy eyezone stand out all the
more. Extremely pod and pollen fertile. Great breeding potential for
Unusual Forms.
