M.Holmes. Sdlg T1076, (Tidewater Elf x R50) Tet, Semi, 32 H, 5 way, 25+ buds Re
When Nicole released her Undefinable, Larry Grace and I set out to her house to purchase it. We both were intrigued with her generational breakthrough daylily. Nicole had been using Undefinable for several years and had bloomed examples of the striping passed along to the children. I began crossing Undefinable into all sorts of daylilies. After many crosses, I bloomed several bridge plants to work with. R50(Marrisa Jonea x Rattlesnake Rake) x Undefinable was one of those crosses. Sandy's Tidewater Elf has always been a stellar daylily for us at Riverbend. And after several hundred crosses with R50 crossed onto Tidewater Elf, I bloomed ONE that was close to what I wanted. (I had wanted a dormant). But I was still pleased with STRIPED ACTION. It has been tested in the North and South. It has a tall scape with very consistent blooms showing stripes. It is extremely easy to hybridize with. Exhibition show people will be equally pleased with the show scape and unusual bloom. Limited S.F.
