JUDY JUNGLE CAT (MICHAELS, 2015 intro registered in 2014) 37" 9-10" (11¾-12¼" wingspan) Mre SEV (towards DOR). This seriously large hot rose 4.086-4.33:1 Spider with a deeper halo over large yellow to quite green throat has strong scapes with a terminal Y and one lateral. Capturing the true color has exceedingly difficult as my camera most often shifts it too far towards red. Reblooming, the flowers open flat even after cold nights. An extremely difficult pod parent, it is easily pollen fertile. Named for Judy Hoffman, a member of my local daylily club, in gratitude for accepting the friendliest stray cat I've ever met. He'd been known for several years across the street as Handsome and I became acquainted with him while trying to capture a truly feral stray and her kitten who are now living in my house and almost housecats. We didn't have room for Handsome, but he most certainly deserved a home where his fleas would be treated and all of his other needs, especially love, would be met. Handsome's name was changed to Marley and his life has been changed for the better, forever. Makes narrow fans. Seedling FLKFLAPZL-6 [FLAMINGO LIPSTICK X (FLAMINGO FLAMBEAUx PRETZEL LOGIC)].

WONDERFUL PLANT WITH STURDY SCAPES AND TONS OF BLOOM!

MAGNIFICENT BLUE PRINCE - SEIFERT 2022, Tet, 30", 5.75", M, Sev, 4 br, 23 bc.
This puts on a mid season show every year. Since it has a pretty blue eye, it reminded me of something else we have around here: our big blue boy. He's our gentle hero, keeping us safe from the mailman, Amazon drivers and a multitude of squirrels, not to mention a small yapping annoyance he's had to endure this year.
Fertile both ways.

Hybridizer's notes:
This is one of the parents which is redefining my blue-eyed tet program. It is the pod parent of the future TEXAS BLUE EYES squared seedlings, and a half-sib to last year's BLUE PLANET. The plant habit is the best I have seen in blue-eyed daylilies ,with beautifully spaced branching and high bud counts. Along with that clear cerulean blue eyezone that looks just like the picture, MERMAID'S LAIR makes a gorgeous clump! As a parent, this daylily passes on her clear blue eyezone, and the wonderful plant habits to her kids. I have yet to bloom a seedling from MERMAID'S LAIR which did not have a blue eye. A necessary hybridizer's dream to achieve that elusive blue!

From the first time this one bloomed, it looked like it had too many feathery petals. Since it's fat, pink and feathery, the name seemed fitting. Hardy Kropf genetics make it a sure bet for the northern garden.
