DANNY STEVE MITCHELL  (Kelly Mitchell  2008)  Tet
[(GINNY MITCHELL) X (GINNY MITCHELL X TET LAVENDER BLUE BABY)]
6" evergreen,early mid-season 28"
rebloom 30 buds
A lot came together for me in this flower.  Tall scape with great branching and bud count. Fabulous clear color.
A bold deep amethyst with a mauve blue eye and large double edge of mauve blue and white to cream. The color is   very good about developing and holding in very hot weather.  We rarely have days under 90 degrees in the summer. Great arching foliage that never interferes with the flowers.  The form is impeccable with wonderful ruffling and  wide petals and sepals.
DANNY  STEVE MITCHELL is a fitting flower to name for my brother was passed away last year at an all too young age. Moderately easy as pod parent. Pollen easy.
              $35.00   double fan

     
                                                     
MAGIC RAIMENT  (Kelly Mitchell 2008)  Tet


[GINNY MITCHELL X SEEDLING) X (J.T. DAVIS X SEEDLING)]
6 1/2 to 7"  evergreen, early 28"
heavy rebloom 30 buds
One of biggest flowers I've introduced.  At times
the individual petals can reach 4" in diameter.
Literally a continuous bloomer here.  One of the first to bloom in the garden one of the last ones still blooming in late August.  A very clean near white with an occasional pink blush on cool mornings.  By noon it is very white here with an extravagant huge edge of metallic yellow gold.
There is a lot of diamond dusting on the petals and liquid gold in the edge.  Wonderful scapes with good branching and bud count.  Strong grower.  Very pod fertile and fantastic parent.
With Ginny in the background it gives great blue eyes and edges when crossed with blues. Its seedlings tend to be great early openers.

(JUST A TEASE X SEEDLING) X (DARK REFLECTION)

BE MY GIRL is my pinkest picoteed daylily to date.
It has a deep pink eye with edge offset by a near white
base color.  The eye and edge are slightly lighter and
more to the pink side of color than the photo shows. 
Very good form with nice precise ruffling.  Easy parent both ways.

      OPPOSING FORCES ( Kelly Mitchell 2008) Tet
(DARK REFLECTION X SEEDLING)
5" evergreen , early mid-season 27"
reboom, 25 to 30 buds

OPPOSING FORCES is a near white  with a deep
purple black eye and edge. 
OPPOSING FORCES is an improvement on my DARK REFLECTION.  It is larger with a whiter base.  One of the goals of my hybridizing efforts is to create pictoeed daylilies with whiter cleaner base color.
It has been a very good parent for whiter based
pictoees in various colors. Fertile both ways being a very easy pod parent.
