click images to enlarge
Hemerocallis 'Redefining Genetics' is the fall 2008 introduction from Bobby Baxter. H. 'Redefining Genetics' is over 90% polytepalous and is also an unusual form daylily that pinches and twists as the day goes by. Generally blooms in the 9" to 10" range on tall 38" scapes. H. 'Redefining Genetics' is a cross from H. 'Carolina Octopus' × H. 'Chief Four Fingers'. The maroonish/purple petal color is slightly deeper than H. 'Carolina Octopus'' and it has a much higher polytepalous percentage combined with greater height. H. 'Redefining Genetics' is both pod and pollen fertile! Diploid.
$125.00 for single division to be shipped in early fall 2008.

H. 'Redefining Genetics' is my most recent achievement in my pursuit for breeding "eight-legged spiders." My goal is to assist in the creation of an entirely new gene pool that will serve as the foundation for hybridizing spidery daylilies with eight "legs" which is typical of true arachnids. My previous daylily registrations that are part of this new spider revolution are H. 'Carolina Octopus' and H. 'Moosa Pa Loosa'. |
