These are very pretty blooms. I likeThe Furyan and the Greywoods bloom is quite nice. Your Chance Encounter is darker than mine and so pretty. Good luck with plant move.

The first two new ones are very nice. Wonder of It All needs heat to open properly. When it does open well, it's stunning. I enjoyed seeing your photos of Mandalay Bay Music. I grew it successfully in a pot for about five years before a bad winter killed it. I always thought it was pretty. The color on Fabulous Frieda is fabulous!

Chance Encounter is one of my favorites and I love the crosses it makes. Yours looks good! FABULOUS FRIEDA is quite pretty!

I see that The Furyan is a Beck. It will be interesting to see how it does for you. His cultivars are gaining attention, but the jury seems to be out on performance. Where did you pick up yours?

Mantis,

I was an aution plant from last year's Free State Daylily Society club's auction. The club seems to purchase 2 or 3 of his plants per year. I too am anxious to see how it performs once it is established.

Furyan got my attention. Pretty great for an FFE. Any idea what/who a Furyan is?.............Maryl

Maryl, below is what I found out about FURYAN:

Humans are classified largely by the planet they inhabit. Some, which dwell on very mild planets (reminiscent of Earth) can be reflected as any human in our reality. However, those that settled on much harsher planets, such as the largely unstable Furya, have evolved very unique characteristics absent in other renditions of humanity across the galaxy. That is to say, Furyans are much hardier, having been forced to adapt to the unforgiving climate and rigid landscape of their new "homeworld." That said, perhaps the most defining feature of Furyans are their incredible legacy as powerful, spiritual warriors.

Movie series starring Vin Diesel as Riddick.

Very pretty blooms...The rain is much liked since we have gotten so little, and Greywoods Claws and Effect is my pick.

Thanks David for looking that up. I saw the Riddick franchise (3 movies - the 2nd with Judi Dench of all people). Pitch Black was the first one and the one I liked best. I'd forgotten the back story to Riddick however. Appreciate the information.......Maryl

Hi David,

I’ve been trying to purchase this cultivar from Bart Beck for quite some time, but it’s always sold out.

I’m a daylily hybridizer in Michigan, particularly interested in breeding large, near-black flowers.

Would you possibly have an extra fan or division of The Furyan available for purchase in spring 2027? I’d be very interested and happy to pay a fair price. Don Sweet visualtec@yahoo.com

Thank you!
