It is clear that Dan Trimmer with Tetra Spindazzle and Fran Harding with Forestlake Ragamuffin, they provided two of the most valuable daylilies available for the contemporary hybridizers of today. With Dan Trimmer’s conversion of TETRA SPINDAZZLE, it was a much luck as it was hybridizing genius and generosity from Dan that let other hybridizers such as Jamie Gossard and John Benz to unravel its potential. Many hybridizers have shared in the successes FORESTLAKE REAGAMUFFIN as a parent. We can thank Fran for releasing the daylily so hybridizers can advance the daylilies potential. Who would have thought Ragamuffin could produce such a beautiful double daylily such as Barry Mathie’s BONIBRAE SHARKY (Forestlake Ragamuffin x Licorice Candy). Over the next several daylily teeth blogs, I’d like to talk about another important daylily in edged hybridizing, Gene Beldon’s, STARTLE…
