(SPACECOAST FREAKY TIKI X UNDEFINABLE)   THIS GORGEOUS CLEAR YELLOW WITH IT’S 5.5 INCH, ROSE STIPPLED STRIPING AND SPLASHING HAS RUFFLING AND IMMEDIATE REBLOOM. THE BROKEN PATTERN IS ON ALL THE BLOOMS, BUT DIFFERENT ON EACH. WITH VERY FERTILE POLLEN AND EAGER PODS, IT HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL PARENT, PASSING ON WITH SOME REGULARITY A BROKEN PATTERN, BUT INFUSING THE NEW PLANT WITH FAB COLORS AND SHAPES FROM THE OTHER PARENT. I HAD REGISTERED IT WITH A 28 INCH SCAPE, BUT IT IS ACTUALLY 31 INCHES.

SOLD OUT......SPACECOAST WHITE WOLF (Kinnebrew, John / Gossard, James 2020) TET, TEETH, UNUSUAL FORM, (Vampire Lady x Like a Gee Six) Seedling number 3-16 Tetraploid 32" Early Midseason Semi-Evergreen emo fr 8.0-9.0" 4-5 way branching 28-34 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Very good rust, leaf streak and insect resistance. USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 5-10 Flowers are white with pink undertones, shark's tooth edge, and a green throat,Unusual Form: Crispate-Cascade variable form.

STARMAN (Howard 2022) BROKEN, TET, TEETH, (Wolverine X Undefinable) 28”/6.5”—M, Sev, Tet. Two way branching and 14 buds. Fertile both ways. Light yellow with a toothy edge and variable patterned color breaks of purple stripes, spots, and streaks. Will sometimes exhibit extra petaloid tissue. I have a long waiting list on this one—and I do not know how much to ask for it. When I do an official website release, I will go through the list in order. I need to do a fan count (they are in pots in various places) to decide when that will be. It could be as soon as next spring. It has been grown outside here in zone 6 in Connecticut in the ground the last two winters. This bloom has been one of the most dramatic I have seen in my lifetime. Every bloom is different, but they have always shown some color break. First blooms can be over 7”. It will pass on color breaks-not sure what percentage of the time.

STELLAR IMPACT (JOSH JAQUES 2022) DIP, APPLIQUE, Stellar Impact is one of the most intriguing flowers I have had the privilege to bloom. Its unique pattern changes from day to day. Sometimes just showing the loss of color on the midribs and other time having large white spades. Wonderful plant habit. Pod Fertile. Pollen Sterile. EV Re 5.25 flower 37" scape 5 branches 19 buds.

STRESSED OUT (Beck-B.,-2024) bx17-15 (unknown x unknown)
6", 30', M, Sev, Tet, 17-22 buds, 4 way, Re
Cream faun with a pattern eye of burgundy, green, and cream
This one can blow my mind! The pattern is not stable to say the least. So if you want the same look every day this is not for you. Super strong plants, very good scape, quite flat open form, and lots of proliferations. I have as many small plants in the greenhouse from proliferations as I have fans outside. I'm pretty sure it's a sibling to Blurry Face (Celtic Butterfly x Four Beasts In One).

STRIPED ACTION (M.Holmes. 2022) TET, STRIPED, BROKEN, Sdlg T1076, (Tidewater Elf x R50) Tet, Semi, 32 H, 5 way, 25+ buds Re When Nicole released her Undefinable, Larry Grace and I set out to her house to purchase it. We both were intrigued with her generational breakthrough daylily. Nicole had been using Undefinable for several years and had bloomed examples of the striping passed along to the children. I began crossing Undefinable into all sorts of daylilies. After many crosses, I bloomed several bridge plants to work with. R50(Marrisa Jonea x Rattlesnake Rake) x Undefinable was one of those crosses. Sandy's Tidewater Elf has always been a stellar daylily for us at Riverbend. And after several hundred crosses with R50 crossed onto Tidewater Elf, I bloomed ONE that was close to what I wanted. (I had wanted a dormant). But I was still pleased with STRIPED ACTION. It has been tested in the North and South. It has a tall scape with very consistent blooms showing stripes. It is extremely easy to hybridize with. Exhibition show people will be equally pleased with the show scape and unusual bloom. Limited S.F. Pod/ Pollen Fertile

Ever bloomer If the first thing you think of here is “Oh My God” then I agree… There is nothing average about this daylily, nor does it have bad hair days. TUMBLEWEED is the garden name for 563 A, there were many lovelies from this cross, but this one - all came together. A favorite of Karen and mine, and well everyone. Besides having all good traits, TUMBLEWEED is another daylily where even after setting seed, on the 3rd and 4thset of scapes and more, the plant does not shrink down. It is very healthy and sports my typical low arching mound of foliage, with taller scapes. Dark plum, black eye, rich in color, double edging of only teeth and tentacles, in both pure white and chartreuse lemon on both wide petals and sepals. Opens like a champion, and as a breeder has MANY possibilities – Just think about it… Extremely pod and pollen fertile.  TUMBLEWEED and her kids will take you far. The picture can say the rest.

I LOVE THE PATTERNS AND THE RUFFLES AND SOMETIMES IT HAS A POLY BLOOM! Tetraploid (Parentage Unknown) Ev. EM Re 24-26” scapes, 5.5” flowers, 13 buds. Where does one begin to make an attempt to describe this flower? I will recommend looking at the many pictures I have posted for this flower. You will be able to see, this flower is always different. It never has an off day, or turns to a solid flower. How fun! UNDEFINABLE has been the best parent! Throwing the most amazing breaks in genetics. Sometimes, it does not pass its traits on. But, when it does, you will be very happy. And, wonderfully enough, it is very fertile!! Very fertile both ways.

WACKY WEDNESDAY (SEIFERT, 2016) TET, BROKEN, NOT UND, - TET, 32", 7", M, Sev. Purple with white streaks and chartreuse throat. (Swallow Tail Kite X Voices Carry)
This seedling surprised me from the first time I saw it. Never would I have expected this from the parents it has. It's consistently streaked, except for an occasional bloom of palest lavender, and the streaking is not the same on any of the blooms. Always is open wide early in the AM. Pods are somewhat reluctant but it will set seed. Pollen is easy to use. It's a good grower here.
I didn't notice until after registration that WW has a distinctive watermark.
