(Westbourne Earthquake x unknown) Description: Lavender pink with darker violet radiating patterned eyezone, vivid green throat and quilled sepals. Sometime it patterns, sometimes it doubles, and almost always has quilled sepals. It's unpredictability and beauty makes this one interesting!

Early in the season, the sepals tend to flare outwards and they begin to recurve as the weather warms. Three to four-way branching with 18 or more buds. Very hardy and fertile both ways. A sibling to ALIEN CORSAGE and perhaps the most unusual member of the ALIEN DNA family.

HYBRIDIZER'S NOTES:
If there is a place called Firefly Cove, I think I want to picnic there with a sweet woman in the twilight and watch the fireflies in the gentle air. Until such a vision becomes reality, this flower, glossier than a show car and with color deeper than 32 coats of hand-rubbed laquer, will have to suffice. It's a knockout.
Flaming Horse's Butte. Bremer. 2016. Dormant. 42"-7". 4 branches. 26 buds. M to ML. Large open flower with rounded petal tips with dark red eye carried on tall scapes. Extremely popular in the garden last year. Big, long branched scapes. (Scratch My Itch x Bang Bang) x Fire Fight.
FLAMINGO FLAMBEAU (Michaels, 2008) 29" M SEV EMO 6½" (9" wingspan) Hot pink and fuchsia blend with deep rose red chevron eye, cream midribs and green star throat. Terminal Y and only 1 lateral and 18 buds here, but what a color! And what a parent for cold hardy screaming pink, rose and purplish kids with big green throats! Easily pod and pollen fertile, I'll definately be nominating it for an HM in the not too distant future. Pollen parent of CERISE'S PIECES, HALF MAGIC, OBLIO and PASSIONISTA, it has wonderful dark green leaves. Spider ratio averages 4:1 if given a lot of water, so is usually skinnier.

FOOLISH FLIRT (Selman) 2013
[(FOOLISH DRAGON x LAST FOOL STANDING) X (FIESTA LATINA x FOOLISH DRAGON)]
38" M Unusual Form Crispate DOR 6" TET
The blooms are cantaloupe with a large red eye and matching red picotee. The patterned yellow to green throat is especially intriguing with veined patterns reminiscent of a kaleidoscope. FOOLISH FLIRT has show-stopping scapes with five to six-way branching and 29 well-spaced buds. It has consistently quilled sepals which echo the throat and eye color. A full sibling to STICKY WICKET, we are eagerly waiting to see the next generation of seedlings from this garden favorite. Very hardy and fertile both ways.

FULFILL YOUR DESTINY (Paul K. Lewis 2019) (Zoe Allegra (Petit) X Waves of Joy (Trimmer)) Tet., 6" flower, 25" scape, 3 way branching, 17 buds, SEV, EM. (Seedling W77)
My only patterned introduction for 2019, but that will change in the coming years. I found that Fulfill your Destiny really blows you away with it's first blooms, but the pattern fades with each subsequent bloom. I think patterned daylilies are still evolving and that more consistent patterning is in the pipelines for many of us who are working on this trait. Fulfill your Destiny is a lovely lavender flower with concentric circles in the dark violet colored eye zone, which blend into a yellow green throat. Easily fertile both ways.
