When
I first bloomed this flower I stood back and softly said to myself, “Wow”. I
had never seen a flat cream white flower with a wide flat chartreuse green fringy
edge. I still haven’t seen anything like it. It is a truly amazing flower.
Since
none of the sibs to FRINGY had the
wide fringy edge I was hesitant to use it in my hybridizing thinking it was too
recessive a trait to be captured by outcrossing to normal daylilies. Guy did
use it and I was delighted to see that there were a good number of fringy
seedlings gotten from it.
I
think FRINGY will be ground breaking
for structural edges for fringy, lacy and tentacle edging. The fact that the
edge is also chartreuse green is like icing on the cake.
