I'm hoping to get a seedling that is worthy of being registered as a memorial to my mother. I think I finally got what I've been wanting, but it isn't quite perfect. It needs diamond dust! She was in love with anything shiny! The seedling is now 2 years old, and I think I see just the tiniest amount of diamond dust on it, but I wish there was more. Is this a trait that shows up better with age? I noticed zero on it last year, which was its first year to bloom, and now I see a tiny bit. It was actually ugly to me last year, and this year, I think it is beautiful. I have other seedlings blooming for the first time ever this year with lots of diamond dust, but the flowers aren't worthy of putting her name on them.
If this isn't a trait that shows up better over time, is there a daylily that I should maybe cross it with that normally passes along this trait? I really don't want to change the bloom or the color too much, but it just isn't sparkly enough! I'd love to hear any suggestions!
Here is the seedling, Strawberry Candy X Pearl Harbor
