SPRING 2009 INTRODUCTIONS
Butterfly Ripples *BUTTERFLY RIPPLES (Gossard, J)  TET (Chain Energy x tetra Crystal Blue Persuasion) 28" EM Evergreen emo Vfr 5" 4-5 way branching  18-22 buds. A very good rebloomer.  Very fertile both ways. Flowers are creamy pink with a blue, white and maroon eye zone. The throat is a deep green starburst, which transforms into charcoal. Several shades of blue are apparent in the eye. Such can be more or less depending on environmental conditions. Starting at the throat, colors are deep green, yellow, charcoal, blue, lavender purple, light maroon, and deep maroon.  Sepals also carry the pattern, which ls easily seen. It has been a tremendous parent. It is producing better sunfast blue patterned kids than itself. Parent of my best blue eyed patterned daylily in both 2006 and 2007, some of which have been hardy dormants. I have held some stock back to hybridize. A favorite of  Larry Grace and Ted Petit both of whom guested, BUTTERFLY RIPPLES. I Consider it a southern Daylily since it is tender in my zone  five garden. A very good garden grower in the south, or areas where one can grow evergreens well.

Cabbage Patch
 *CABBAGE PATCH (Gossard, J., '09)  TET (Star of India x Cameroon Night) 41" EM Dormant emo fr 7" 3-4 way branching  18-22 buds. Fertile both ways. Flowers of Cabbage Patch are maroon purple with a green throat. Blooms about 80 %  of the time as a crested double. The cabbaging pinches the flowers making it a pinched UFO. When crossed with other spider doubles, one can get both normal and crested doubles. It has been a very important parent for hybridizing unique double crested UFO's and spiders.

Cactus Blossom
*CACTUS BLOSSOM (Gossard, J., '09)  TET (Strawberry Candy x Heavenly Beginnings) x (Born to Late x Crocodile Smile) 41" Late, Dormant emo fr 5 1/4" 5 way branching  24 buds. Fertile both ways. Flowers are strawberry red, covered with thorny cactus tenticules. The tenticles can be huge as seen in the bottom photo. Both of the parents have teeth, the last parent was a seedling from Matthew Kaskel. It had huge teeth, but not the color and it's teeth was heat related. Cactus Blossium dose not need the heat to produce the teeth. The tenticles are strawberry color, outlined in gold. A very good parent for producing eyed flowers with teeth and tenticles.

Green Arrow
 GREEN ARROW (Gossard, J., '09)  Diploid (Royal Curls x Great Red Dragon) 46" M Dormant emo fr 8" 4 way branching  22 buds. Fertile both ways. Flowers of Green Arrow are a very greenish yellow  above a very green throat. Flowers are cascade UFO. It also makes a lot of proliferations. This is my #1 green plant, sib to Green Throated Robin, Green Inferno, Heavenly Spider Monkey and Red Scorpion.  It can be argued to which one is greener , Green Arrow or Green Inferno. I think that Green Inferno may be greener in the morning but by the end of the day Green Arrow is greener. I would say that Green Arrow is 5 % greener.  My best green is a cross of GREEN ARROW x GREEN INFERNO. Green Arrow is also much more pod fertile and makes more proliferations and is a better rebloomer, thus the reason it is my number one green. Green Arrow is thus considered to be our best of the green line introduced todate.

Heavenly Dark Matter
 *HEAVENLY DARK MATTER (Gossard, Ryan, '09) TET (Heavenly Explosion x Red Eyed Jack) 36" M Dormant emo fr 7" 4 way branching  22 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer. Flowers of Heavenly Dark Matter are bright butternut yellow with a huge dark maroon purple eye above a green throat. Ryan keeps carring on his large flower line. If you like them big, Heavenly Dark Matter is the one to buy. Ryan plans on using it with the tetra Peppermint Delight kids this year in the green house. Most of the Peppermint Delight kids are tender, so it is important to use a good hard dormant and Heavenly Dark Matter is such. Compared to Orange Firecat, Heavenly Dark Matter is bigger, better branched and taller. Can be showed in the large flower class. Both of Ryans intros this year is Hard Dormant.  A great parent for big eyes.

This is my #1 plant, sib to Green Throated Robin, Green Inferno, Green Arrow and Red Scorpion. When one  hybridizes, you try to find a niche area, pick a great parent and travel the long road. This year I was asked if one were to hybrize, what parent would I use for creating cutting edge break throughs.  It was easy, Heavenly Spider Monkey. Why, let me show you a few of the kids and let them speak for the success of Heavenly Spider Monkey as a breeder. After seeing these kids , I will use it for years to come. . I potted up 20 plants to treat this fall, so stock is limited.

Flowers of Tornado Bird are near white above a green throat. It is a cascade UFO. WOW, Talk about a difficult cross. I tried for years to set pods on Heavenly Curls, it is very difficult. But for some reason, a had the right conditions and was able to make the cross of Skinwalker on Heavenly Curls. I was not disappointed when I bloomed Tornado Bird. It is a bigger and skinner than Heavenly Curls, an improved version. Hopefully I will not sell out of this one , because Iam going to use it in my hybridizing program again this spring.  A great parent and garden daylily.
