I'm just guessing, but I think Ed has an amazing polychrome hybridizing program and the genetics from that program is very desirable. Since he only sells seeds, seeing one of his intros for sale is very rare and that may be one reason Viserion went so high. I don't know who the winners were, but maybe they were hybridizers who want to use Viserion in their own program.
I enjoyed reading the article below about how Ed got his start with daylilies.
