BELLS AND WHISTLES
(Petit 2007)
Tet. Daylily (Glacier Bay x Tet. Siloam Ralph Henry) (Ed Brown) Sev. 6 - 6.5” fl. 26” sc. EM 25 buds. Could it be named any better? This flower seems to have it all! The blooms are large, with a heavy, starchy substance. The base color is a rose pink, but the color deepens toward the petal edges. The edge color becomes a dark rose red as it reaches the heavily ruffled gold edge. The flowers also have a large deep green throat. One of the major movements in hybridizing in recent years has been a push toward flowers with darker edges but no eye. Unfortunately, most of these flowers have little or no ruffling, and no gold edging. I have used 'Bells and Whistles' heavily in my breeding for pinks, reds, and for fancier flowers with edges but no eyes. The plants have great scapes, with 4 laterals plus top branching. Add to this that the plants are extremely rust resistant, and you have a great flower and plant. Easily fertile both ways.
