SPRING 2009 INTRODUCTIONS

*June Williams Memorial (Kinnebrew, '09) (June
Williams Seedling X Velvet Ribbons) 11”, ev, rec, TET – June Williams
was one of our very dearest friends. Without her guidance
and contributions to our hybridizing program, we would certainly not be
where we are today. In her latter years, June was concentrating
her personal breeding efforts on Tet-spider & Tet-spider
variants. She was determined to reach this goal without the use
of any diploid conversions, using only Tets derived from the Bill
Munson line. She developed an outstanding seedling, but was taken
from us before she could make it a registered cultivar. We were
allowed to grow this beauty and breed with it. Although this area
of hybridizing had not appealed to us before, we decided to jump in and
follow up on June’s efforts. This is the first of several
releases from that seedling and we are very proud for it to carry
June’s name. This big, dark purple variant is a real standout in
the garden. Tall, well branched 36” scapes carry up to 24
buds. Quick to increase and fertile, but not an easy pod set.

*Karen Stephens (Kinnebrew, '09) ((SC
Rebel Yell x Jerry Nettles) x Pure Indulgence)) 6”, sev, rec, TET –
With Randy Stephens as our cover flower this past year, it only
stands to reason that we name a flower for his “better half” this
year. Besides saturated dark red color and ruffled gold edge,
Karen has as good a plant habit as you can find anywhere in our
garden. Huge plants produce strong, very well branched
scapes. At times, we have counted as many as 4 or 5 lateral
branches, plus the top. Tremendous fertility is another highly
favorable trait. It seems that you can set a pod any time you
like, with any pollen you choose. With this in mind, many of our
very best seedlings are from Karen, especially as a pod parent.
These range from reds and blacks with gold edges, reds with gold
and white toothy edges, to even some doubles, as this flower will
occasionally double late in the season. Unfortunately, darker
colors have proven difficult for us to capture on an image, so please
take our word for the beauty of this flower. Outstanding 30”
scapes hold up to 32 buds. Strong multiple bloomer. Again,
extremely fertile.

*Red Wine Romance (Kinnebrew,
'09) (June Williams Seedling X Velvet Ribbons) 10”, ev, rec, TET – A
full sibling to June Williams Memorial, this narrow burgundy red has a
slightly smaller bloom but shows more motion, with regard to twisting,
turning, etc. Again, narrow has not been our direction in the
past. However, sometimes you have to step back and observe plant
performance. Red Wine Romance is an outstanding performer in a
row or clump. A single clump might have 6 scapes with 18 to 20
flowers open on a particular day. Despite the narrow segments, no
one can overlook such a brilliant display. Scapes 30”with great
branching, carrying up to 24 buds. Vigorous and quick to
increase. Fertile, but not an easy pod set.
Value $125.00 SF

*Spacecoast Better Late (Kinnebrew, '09) ((Forbidden
Fantasy X Jerry Nettles) x Alexa Kathryn)) 6”, sev, rec, TET – Do you
like late season bloom? If so, this will certainly be a lily that
you will enjoy. Over the past three years, the 1st of July is the
earliest that we have flowered this one. That is very late for
our Florida season. However, it always presents a pleasant
surprise, to see fresh new bloom as the rest of garden is coming to a
close. Round, full lavender purple flowers are garnished with
“whoper” chartreuse edge. Strong 26” scapes, hold up to 20
buds. Vigorous, quick to increase, and fertile both ways.
Value $125.00 SF

*Spacecoast Brazen Bandit (Kinnebrew, '09) (SC
Shiner X Good Ol’ Boy Seedling) 5 1/2”, sev, rec, TET – Sharp, crisp
color contrast, this is the beauty of an eyed daylily. With it’s
bright orange base and bold black eye/edge, this is a prime
example. Mid-sized flowers are round and ruffled with saturated
color, packing a serious punch in the garden. As with all of our
Spacecoast Shiner heritage plants, the plants themselves are extremely
vigorous with corn stalk scapes, good bud count, and strong
fertility. Seedlings from this standout show a very wide range of
color combinations. Scapes are 28”, with up to 22 buds.
Again, Easily fertile both ways.
Value $100.00 SF

|
*Spacecoast Color Scheme (Kinnebrew, '09) (SC
Small Talk X Lil’ Red Wagon) 3 ½”, sev, rec, TET – They say,
“Good things come in small packages”, here is some hard evidence to
that point. This little fellow grabbed as much attention as any
of the larger flowers in our garden this past spring. It stands
to reason that a yellow crossed with a red might give some unusual
looks. However, we did not foresee this bazaar, yet pleasing,
color combination. Distinct flowers are round and ruffled with
cherry-red petals and somewhat tan sepals. This is our
first ever bicolor registration. With our Spacecoast Tiny
Perfection solidly in the background, plant habit and proper
proportion are always in order. Sturdy 22” scapes, sport up to 36
buds and regularly have 4 and 5 flowers open at a time. Fertile
both ways.
Value $100.00 SF

*Spacecoast Burgundy Belle (Kinnebrew, '09)
(SC Southern Belle X Mississippi Earl Watts) 6 1/2”, ev, rec, TET –
This fine lady was quite a pleasant surprise for us, especially from a
cross of two lavender-pinks. The color is a cool, clear burgundy
with an interesting lighter halo and big gold edge. Although
there are no toothy parents in the background, the edge is often
somewhat jagged or serrated in appearance. However, we haven’t
bred this one for toothy edges. Instead we have concentrated on
expanding the inner halo and moving this lighter color into the
edge. So far, the seedlings have been very nice with many more to
bloom in the upcoming year. A full sibling to Spacecoast Miss
Margaret, this beauty has 30” scapes that carry up to 20
buds. Easily fertile both ways. Value $125.00 SF
|
 |
*Spacecoast Dark Obsession (Kinnebrew, '09) (Karen
Stephens X Sibling) 6”, sev, rec, TET – We love dark rich colored
flowers and hope that you do as well. This is our first release
from Karen Stephens. Due to great growing habit and ability to
increase quickly, it is being released at the same time as its
noteworthy parent. Also, to its credit, it possesses a darker
base and a more intense bubbly gold edge. We hate to compare the
child to the parent, but, if we had to choose between them, we would
have to take them both!! Those who are breeding for black reds
with edges, this is a must have. Again, much like its
parent, scapes are a lofty 34”with numerous laterals, supporting up to
40 buds. Multiple bloomer. Easily fertile both ways.
Value $125 SF

*Spacecoast Eye for Passion (Kinnebrew, '09) (Elisa
Dallas X Renie’s Delight) 6”, sev, rec, TET – Hybridizing is
easy! You just cross one cover flower with another cover
flower. Well, at least this philosophy worked once. Renie’s
Delight, our ’05 cover, crossed with Elisa Dallas, Dan Trimmer’s ’05
cover, seemed to make a logical match. The result being a
flawless, ruffled cream with red eye/edge, and a glowing green
throat. Flowers are round and flat with heavy substance, opening
perfectly with every bloom. This lily is among the first to bloom
for us, and has about 4 to 5 sets of scapes during a Florida
season. Plant habit is also stellar, giving 30” well branched
scapes carrying up to 30 buds. Extremely fertile, producing
offspring with big, intense green throats.

*Spacecoast Irish Illumination (Kinnebrew, '09)
(SC Hope Beacon X Mike Longo) 5 ¾”, sev, rec, TET – Based
on flower alone, one might not be thoroughly impressed with this
lily. It is a pretty face with heavy ruffling and brilliant lemon
yellow color. However, total performance sets this one apart from
the rest. First and foremost, its scape is almost
unbelievable. Mike Longo, our 2006 release, is renowned for its
incredible scape and high bud count. This offspring goes
above and beyond those levels. On fully established plants,
scapes tower 36” with numerous lateral branches, carrying up to 50 buds
or better. There have been days, in our garden, when we have
counted as many as 8 flowers open on a single scape. That is
“Performance”!! In addition, strong plant habit and extreme pod
fertility shouldn’t be overlooked. Winner “Best Seedling on
Scape” Lake City Show 2008.

*Spacecoast Lunatic Fringe (Kinnebrew, '09)
(SC Sprawler x Forestlake Ragamuffin) x Mike Longo)) 6”, sev, rec, TET
– A full sibling to last year’s Spacecoast Fringe Benefit, this looker
has many of the same characteristics. Most apparent is the
trademark tentacled-toothy edge, derived from Forestlake Ragamuffin
breeding. However, this is our first to show a picoteed edge as
well. The flower base color is a pastel blend with an outer rose
blush, just before the edge turns wild. Much admired by garden
visitors, this selection has real impact in the field. Makes
vigorous plants, with strong 24”scapes, holding up to 20 buds.
Fertile, a good breeder for those bazaar edges. Value $150 SF

*Spacecoast Miss Margaret (Kinnebrew, '09) (SC
Southern Belle x Mississippi Earl Watts) 7”, ev, rec, TET – A full
sibling to Spacecoast Burgundy Belle, this lily is more of what you
might expect from the cross. Very large, lavender-pink flowers
possess a slightly lighter halo and a robust, golden edge.
However, the flower form is very different. Although the
individual segments are fairly wide, overall the form is more
loose with the sepals turning upward, giving a sense of motion.
Its almost looks as if it wants to take flight. Our dear, dear
friend Margaret Tucker, of Jacksonville , picked out this one, and
we’re naming it for her. We love you, Margaret!! Scapes are
a stout 30”, carrying buds 20. Easily fertile.
Value $125 SF

*Spacecoast Modern Symmetry (Kinnebrew, '09)
(SC Technical Knockout x SC Behavior Pattern) 5 ½ ”, sev, rec,
TET – Finally, we are starting to get some new breaks in the
appliqué patterns. We were able to accomplish this by
introducing our Spacecoast Shiner Line into our Spacecoast Sea Shell
Line. Previously, all of our throat patterned lilies were in the
cream & purple color range. The plan here was to move into
new, exciting color combinations and maintain the
appliqué. We bloomed hundreds of seedlings in this effort
and, finally, this one flowered. We believe this to be the key to
unlock the door. We will bloom hundreds of offspring this next
year and we hope to see a very diverse range of color. Yellows
w/red and black eyes, oranges w/red and black eyes, all with the
patterned throats. This is our goal. Plants are vigorous
with strong 28” scapes, carrying up to 20 buds. Easily fertile. Value $150 SF
|
 |
*Spacecoast Ojo Rojo (Kinnebrew, '09)
(SC Firestarter Seedling x Footloose Fancy) 6 ½”, sev, rec, TET
– This big bright yellow with red-orange eye/edge, was the most admired
“flower” in our garden this past year. Visitors simply could not
get past it, without stopping for a longer look. We have also
been very fond of it and have used it heavily in our breeding
program. Truthfully, for us, it is a little bit scape
challenged. Scapes are a stout 18” which place the blooms just
above the foliage. Although this is not terribly short, we
obviously would prefer greater scape height. However, due to
popular opinion, we have decided to release it anyhow. No doubt,
it has a stunning bloom, but we would consider that mostly a
hybridizer’s plant. Makes vigorous plants that increase
quickly. Fertile both ways, producing a wide array of gorgeous
red eyed seedlings.

*Spacecoast Pansy Pinafore (Kinnebrew, '09)
(Madeline Nettles Eyes x SC Shiner Seedling) 3”, sev, rec, TET – Size
wise, this is our smallest offering of the year. However, this
small, bright yellow with black eye/edge doesn’t lack
distinction. Madeline Nettles Eyes is, no doubt, our very best
breeder for eyed/edged lilies of the small and miniature variety.
With super color contrast and a darling flower form, this is a perfect
garden addition. We need quality small and miniature flowers to
fully compliment our large flower collections. Very proportional
to plant size, stocky 20”scapes hold up to 18 buds and often show
multiple bloom. Easily fertile both ways.
Value $75 SF

*Tom Adams (Kinnebrew, '09)
(SC Shiner x Courting Trouble) 5 ½”, sev, rec, TET – Again, we
absolutely love dark, rich colored daylilies. As a result, this
may be our favorite from this collection. However, here we have a
bird of a much different feather. The base color is a medium to
dark purple which is complimented by a dominant black eye &
edge. The whole flower has the look of plush velvet.
Finally, a silvery-white edge accents each blossom. During
rebloom, this edge will become heavier and show some occasional
teeth. Any breeder can see the multitude of possibilities
here. Whether you are working toward eyes & edges, super dark
colors, or even toothy edges, this is a solid choice. Which
brings to light another point, Tom Adams produces seed like no
other. Named for our good friend and fellow daylily fancier from
Ocean Springs , Mississippi . Scapes are a stocky 22” holding up
to 20 buds. Again, extremely fertile.

2008 Spring Daylilies Available

*Black Velvet Baby (Kinnebrew, '08) (Burgundy
Baroness x Ebony Jewel) x Lil’ Red Wagon)) 3 ½”, sev, rec, TET –
Those who grow and enjoy Lil’ Red Wagon will be crazy about it’s black
velvet offspring. This little darling has many of those same fine
characteristics with an alluring color that we’ve not seen in a small
flower tet. Also impressive is plant to scape proportion. Basically,
the scape matches the plant perfectly. Flowers are full, round, and
ruffled with good heavy substance, which holds surprisingly well. 24”
stocky, well branched scapes carry up to 24 buds. A multiple bloomer,
easily pod and pollen fertile. Winner “Best Seedling on Scape” Central
Florida Show 2006."Single Division Only".
Value $75 SF

*Christina Cook (Kinnebrew, '08) (SC
Tiny Perfection Sdlg x SC Perfect Angel) 2 ¾”, sev, rec, TET –
Today’s full formed tets have all the bells and whistles! However, here
we have something that you don’t see every day. This little angel has
all the ruffling and complex edging of a modern, large flower, reduced
to miniature status. Size really doesn’t matter, at least not in this
particular case. Just above the foliage, clusters of peach-pink flowers
glisten in the sunlight, each with a rose blush and a bubbling metallic
gold edge. Named for Christina Cook, inspired youth member from
Norfolk, Virginia. Our youth are the future of daylilies. Stocky 18”
scapes carry up to 16 buds. Vigorous and easily fertile both ways.
Value $50 SF

*Mississippi Earl Watts (Kinnebrew, '08)
(Belle Cook x Jerry Nettles) 6”, ev, rec, TET – This is one cool,
smooth, southern gentleman to be sure. This description fits the man,
as well as, the lily he has chosen to carry his name. Soothing flowers
are crystal clear, lilac lavender with a large yellow starburst halo in
the throat. Then, a wide yellow-gold, ruffled border compliments the
throat perfectly. Our garden visitors were most impressed by this
looker. Named for our long-time family friend, Earl Watts of
Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Nicely branched scapes are 24”, carrying up
to 20 buds. Vigorous and fertile both ways.
Value $100 SF

*Spacecoast Blood Diamond (Kinnebrew, '08)
(SC Rebel Yell x Pure Indulgence)F2 6”, sev, rec, TET – We believe this
to be our best “pure” red to date. With extremely heavy substance,
flowers are full, ruffled and trimmed in gold. Although the edge itself
is not overly large by today’s standards, it is a very strong
characteristic, producing red seedlings with intense, wide gold edges.
Judging from last year’s seed crop, this is our best red breeder. Husky
plants have sturdy 30”scapes, carrying up to 20 buds. A strong seed
producer, easily fertile both ways.
Value $100 SF

 |
*Spacecoast Fantastic Finish (Kinnebrew, '08)
(Forbidden Fantasy x Jerry Nettles) x Mort Morss)) 6”, sev, rec, TET –
With it’s star studded heritage, one can see how this cultivar might be
an important breeder. If you like working with teeth, and want strong
fertility, strong plant habit, and tall well branched scapes, this is
an excellent find. Each flower is of medium burgundy-purple with
lighter halo, and an ornate, white/yellow toothy edge. When pared with
another parent having teeth, the results have been tremendous. Also,
blooms open flawlessly and are never hung up or deformed. Again, this
is a quality seed producer and potentially a valuable asset to an eager
hybridizer. Scapes are nicely branched carrying
up to 20 buds.
Value $75 SF

*Spacecoast Fringe Benefit (Kinnebrew, '08)
(Forestlake Ragamuffin X SC Sprawler) x Mike longo)) 6 ½”,
sev, rec, TET – Chartreuse edges are a hot item in the breeding world
today, and Mike Longo has been our best tool in achieving this trait.
This peach-pink blend has a real flashy border for sure, and, with its
unique heritage, it is producing seedlings with chartreuse tentacles
and teeth. Occasionally, you will see a darker blush along the border,
producing a double picotee. However, this varies depending on night
time temperatures. Scapes are 30” with fine branching and
up to 22 buds. Makes vigorous plants. Fertile both ways.
Value $100 SF

*Spacecoast Gilded Robe (Kinnebrew, '08)
(SC Surprise Purple x Jerry Nettles) x Alexa Kathryn)) 6”, ev, rec, TET
– Alexa Kathryn is well renowned for her trademark gold edge. However,
this Alexa offspring is a solid improvement over its noteworthy parent
in virtually every aspect. Maintaining the monster edge, it shows
better base color, better scape, and better flower consistence on a
daily basis. Better bud count and better pod fertility are also
apparent. Flowers are medium purple in color with a slightly light halo
and a “whopper” gold edge. Well branched scapes are 24”, carrying up to
20 buds. Extremely fertile both ways.
Value $100 SF

*Spacecoast Hope Beacon (Kinnebrew, '08)
(Stone Beacon x SC Gold Bonanza) 6”, sev, rec, TET – To this day,
nothing shows up better in the garden than a bright yellow daylily, and
we especially like yellows which are not influenced by other colors,
except perhaps green. This one fits that bill. Truly a garden beacon,
flowers are full, round and nicely ruffled with intense yellow color.
Secondly, plant habit is outstanding as well with lofty, very well
branched scapes, numerous buds, and a large husky plant. Also, a
multiple bloomer with 30” scapes having as many as 30 buds. A difficult
pod parent, but pollen is very fertile.
Value $75 SF

*Spacecoast Pattern Plus (Kinnebrew, '08)
(SC Sea Shells x Lighter Than Air) 5 ¾”, ev, rec, TET – Sib to
last year’s SC Behavior Pattern, this selection adds yet another
dimension to the standard, appliqué, patterned daylily. It still
has the striking pattern in the throat, but has sculpting coming into
the eye zone as well. This unusual combination of characteristics makes
a very attractive display. Flowers are round, ruffled, and lavender in
color, with a darker eye & picotee edge. Scapes are a stocky 24”,
holding as many as 20 buds. Easily fertile in both directions.
Value $100 SF

 |
*Spacecoast Tropical Twister
(Kinnebrew, '08)(Doubly Delicious x SC Twice as Nice) 5 ¾”, sev,
rec, TET – This cultivar has been on many of our customers’ want lists
for some years. However, due to it’s slow increase habit, we are just
now able to release it. Plants themselves grow very well, making large
fans, but multiplication is often sparse. Beautiful, rich coral-rose
color and metallic wire edge set this double apart from the
competition. As with many doubles, early bloom may no be totally full,
but flowers become more and more plump as the season progresses. Well
branched 24” scapes hold up to 20 buds. Easily fertile, especially as a
pod parent.

*Spacecoast White Chocolate (Kinnebrew, '08)(SC
White Out x SC Cream Supreme) x J. T. Davis)) 6 ½”, sev, rec,
TET – Of this year’s releases, this is certainly the most elegant and
likely the most admired by garden visitors. Flowers are light-cream to
near white with excellent form and substance. As it’s name suggest, it
literally looks good enough to eat. Segments are wide and ruffled,
opening flawlessly with each bloom. Unfortunately, this is one of those
rare lilies for which a camera just can’t seem to capture the true
garden beauty. Please, take our word it! Tall well branched scapes are
30” holding up to 24 buds. Easily fertile both ways, a quality seed
producer for near whites.

*The Butler Did It (Kinnebrew,
'08) (Coquina Key X Fall Frolic) 5 ¾”, sev, rec, TET – Sculpted
flowers are becoming more abundant. However, we’ve not come across
anything similar to “The Butler”. Flowers are a rich, gold-peach blend
with a rose sculpted eye zone. This lily has been most unusual, to us
and everyone who has seen it blooming in the garden. Debbie Monbeck of
Lexington, Kentucky asked us to
consider naming this plant to honor her late father. We are deeply
honored to do so. “Stuart L. Butler” was a model humanitarian and his
string of deeds and achievements in the state of Kentucky are far too
numerous to list. Among them, and most impressive to us, was his work
for Habitat for Humanity, for which he constructed some 20 homes for
those in need. Who Did It? Stuart Butler Did It! Strong nicely branched
scapes are 24”, carrying up to 24 buds. Vigorous plants are easily
fertile both ways.

*Who Do Voodoo (Kinnebrew,
'08) (SC Shiner X Jane Trimmer) 6”, ev, rec, TET – Finally, we’re
getting SC Shiner kids with some good flower size. With a
cinnamon-orange base color and black eye, this standout is a full,
well-rounded, 6” flower, with a dominate, wide picotee edge. No doubt,
it would be the perfect Halloween décor! As with most SC Shiner
seedlings, it is one of the largest plants in the yard with a corn
stalk scape. Well branched scapes reach 30” and carry as many as 24
buds. Pollen fertile, but a difficult pod parent.

*Iwanna Piranha (Kinnebrew,
'07) (Forestlake Ragamuffin x Mort Morss) x Cosmic Sensation 6”, sev,
rec, TET – Got Teeth!! Boy, this one does, of the gold and white
variety. We love it, when “a plan comes together”. The plan
being to develop shark’s teeth on colors other than purple.
Although we’re not real sure how we got a coral-rose from this cross,
we’re certainly glad we did!! Not only did we get desirable
color, but outstanding plant habit came with it. Large fans
generate lofty 34”, very well branched scapes, carrying up to 32
buds. Even better yet! Plants are easily fertile both
ways. This will likely prove to be the most important breeder
that we have produced in the last several years.
