'Mascara Snake' (Bachman, 2002)


https://daylily-phlox.eu/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Daylily-Mascara-Snake-1.jpg


I purchased this plant off the Lily Auction from Mthrnatur.


Color: dark red maroon with chartreuse midribs above chartreuse throat

Parentage: (Stoplight × (Pretty Late × Big Ross))
scape height  57 in, (145 cm)
bloom size  9 in, (23 cm)
bloom season  Late
form  Spider 5.00:1
ploidy  Diploid
foliage type  Semi-Evergreen
bloom habit  Diurnal
bud count  25
branches  4
seedling #  97-495


8/2020 Update:This is another plant that has strong foliage, but hasn't put up a scape. The fans that arrived were very small so I anticipate they need more time to grow before I get to meet this one in person.

7/2022 -I haven't seen this one blooming my garden. Garden spot 6 has never bloomed and I lost the marker. I do remember planting very small fans in that spot. The spot has a few small fans this year. I will watch for one more year before planting something else there.

Lullaby of Birdland

I won Lullaby of Birdland from Mamalahlee on the Lily Auction. I like the large blooms, the purple color and the leaf shape will be fun to breed. I have 3 fans coming!

8/2020 Update:
This plant has a lot of healthy foliage, but has not sent up a scape. The fans arrived small so maybe next year they will be big enough for me to meet this one in person.
