I chose the name ALL THAT MATTERS because this daylily has all that truly matters in hybridizing daylilies. Gorgeous flowers which open well and hold up in inclement weather: tall, sturdy and well branched scapes with tons of buds (this one bud-builds); healthy plant habits which seldom show signs of any disease or weather damage, and it is easily used for hybridizing. This flower is a stunner in the garden. The tall scapes hold the majestic flowers high for viewing. The deep wine petals are veined in deep purple over the entire surface. Gold ruffled edges surround the petals and the gold to deep green chevron eyezone really sparks up the blooms. Slight pleating in throat area adds some drama. This daylily has been a cornerstone parent both pollen and pod for a few years now, and has proven to be valuable for producing deep colors in red, purple, and wine with exemplary plant habits in the seedlings . It throws better than itself, which is what you want in a parent. A beautiful landscape plant, this is one daylily you can't walk by without admiring it. ALL THAT MATTERS has truly all that matters.

EVIDENCE OF ROYALTY 7" SEV 34” EM (seedling x SUBSTANTIAL EVIDENCE) This is the one that other hybridizers have lusted after for years now. It is a large at 7” with a giant yellow green throat. The color is a rich burgundy purple with extraordinary presence. The babies are amazing. All the plants have been subjected to the conversion process and show some tet pollen under the microscope. However they are easy to use as diploids and are simply fantastic breeders as such. It is possible to get tet babies from EOR but not so much that I have felt comfortable introducing it as a tet. If you can get some tet babies from it, you can just treat the results as a bonus. In the meantime using EVIDENCE OF ROYALTY as a dip will make you very happy. There is nothing else like it anywhere. Pods are difficult but possible, pollen is easy. $35.00 DF

This seedlings was produced from seed purchased on the Lily Auction. I hesitated registering this one, but it is such a fantastic parent, I feel it would be negligent not to share its potential. The near white ruffled petals are centered with a patterned indigo eyezone which blends through several variations of blue into a pencil purple rim. The eyezone is speared by white midribs extending into the chartreuse to green throat. The sepals have lighter patterns on them which gives the bloom a slight bitone appearance. This is a special daylily for its immense breeding potential, beautiful blooms, and hardy plant habits. I have sold several seeds and seedlings on the LA which have this plant in their parentage under the seedling name BEWD-BB. Very limited number of plants available for spring delivery!

HUGE Zones 4-9 Hardy The Master has never lost a plant; whether dividing-up in August or in a clump. He has grown and survived well over this past winter in a zone 4 section of New Hampshire after a cold winter with no mulching or snow cover! Regarding the size factor, the phrase genetically jumped the fence is precisely what has happened; again to ALL OF OUR good fortune… The process went from two parents approx. 7” to an offspring over 70% larger. Like a horse giving birth to an elephant! With large ruffles and the occasional angel wings, MASTER AND BOLD RULER does not hang-up and has the strength to always open no matter what’s in the petals way. Pod Fertility is average to good whereas generally big flowers are the hardest to set on. There are many other attributes. These fans are small in the spring, but will grow out nicely.
(LITTLE LEPRECHAUN X ALMIRA BUFFALO BONE JACKSON)4" bloom;26" scape; 3 branches;EM;Reb;dor;Fragrant
This daylily is not the most striking daylily in the garden, but the genetics are proving it to be a stellar parent. One of the bluest eyezones produced here yet came from this parent. NATURE'S PEEKABOO BLUE was named because it 'peeks' at you from all its neighbors, until you notice that the eyezone is very clear. The light pink-cream petals are centered with a pale lavender-blue eyezone surrounded by a purple pencil margin. Pale purple veins cut through the eyezone into a celery green halo surrounding a deep green throat. Sepals are brushed with purple chevrons which surround lavender-blue brushed areas which surround a celery green halo. Petals and sepals are surrounded with white ruffles. PEEKABOO BLUE reblooms if not loaded with too many pods, and is fertile both ways. A good choice to work with in cleaning up colors in most any genre'.
