    I have wondered if Oscie would actually have registered this daylily if he hadn't believed that his time was running out. He knew it to be an extremely slow increaser, but it was one of his best-looking seedlings and a break, considering that none of the other 32 seeds in the cross held any interest. I have repeated the cross with dozens of seedlings to look at and none anything like as fancy as this, though they all grow better. What a trade-off! The original plant had increased to 6 fans in 2010 when I obtained a double fan from Oscie's daughter.
