    LIFE ON MARS X BELA LUGOSI
    The combination of two of my most vigorous and dependable deep colored daylilies has produced this swaggering macho selection. BLOOD, LOVE AND THUNDER is a clear bright rose violet self with a small chartreuse throat. These 6" flowers are full, formal and gently reflexed, creating a consistently round presentation irregardless of the temperature. The wide petals display precise piecrust ruffling without any further embellishments. The extremely robust plants display tall, stately erect scapes with wide three and four-way branching. Very fertile both ways, and a cultivar of exceptional merit in my program.
