This outstanding plant has a bloom of coral-rose with a glowing lavender-blue eye etched magenta and an edge of magenta, lavender-blue and white over a yellow to green throat. RAINBOW REEF, located in Fiji, is one of the most famous diving sites in the south pacific. This glowing, colorful beauty is truly one of my favorite daylilies and always catches my attention.

Vigorous and very fertile both ways.

REVENGE OF SHARKNADO (Benz) 2018 tet, 30" M. Dor.

This striking 6" red bristles with intense gold shark's teeth and is one of most admired and asked about teeth varieties in the garden.

I think she's fertile both ways, but haven't been breeding much for doubles lately, so can't say about results. The sibs are nice too, so I would expect nice kids from this.

This plant was rescued from the compost after being dug prematurely, so parentage was lost. It is a fast increaser, and is pod fertile although selective about the pollen put on it. I neglected to use the pollen, so not sure, but it looked viable. This is a wowser in bloom that will definitely get noticed!

SPOT THE DOT - MUSSAR 2018 Tet. 28" tall, 6" bloom, 24 buds on average, 5 way branching. Early-mid season bloomer, SEv (Connect the Dots x Wedding Band). Fertile both ways.
Hybridizer's note:
I have been breeding for speckled and spotted daylilies for many years, and Connect the Dots has been a good parent for me. These types show day to day variability exhibiting speckles and sometimes streaks. Pod and pollen fertile. A good performer in the garden and a striking bloom.
Dip 33" tall, 6" bloom, 18 buds, 3 way branching. Early-mid season bloomer, Dormant. (Pitter Patter x Pink Stripes).
A unique cultivar in that it inherited the spots from Pitter Patter and the stripes from Pink Stripes. It is the first introduction from Pitter Patter that shows the spots and was the only seedling from this cross to show any patterning at all. The spots are more frequent with warmer temperatures but are always present. I would have had more dried scapes to display however our dogs appear to have broken most of them off. I have done some sib crossing with it so it is fertile both ways but have yet to see any kids out of it. Makes small fans like its pod parent
