Mountain Kaleidoscope (Keast-T., 2010)

Parentage: (Spooner × Stargate Portal)


scape height  42 in, (107 cm)
bloom size  7.5 in, (19 cm)
bloom season  Midseason

Crispate

2023 Update: It's so pretty!  I love the huge blooms and the differently colored petals and septals.

2024 Update: I like the watercolor fade on the petals. This daylily is still at the old place with the rest of the diploids. It has a small clump. I'm hoping for a larger clump next year!

Spiritual Gift came with the scape cut off the main fan. No other scapes have come up. She's evergreen so I'm not sure if she'll survive the winter here in zone 5a.
