Yes, I have both versions of MALACHITE PRISM. I haven't seen a bloom on the diploid version yet, but I got a beautiful bloom or two this summer from the TET. MALACHITE PRISM that I got from Maryott's. And I understand that the plants and blooms should look essentially identical except that the tet version might have slightly larger blooms and sturdier scapes, and I'm not sure about other characteristics. The reason they do the tet conversions is so they can make crosses with tetraploid daylilies in order to add diploid characteristics to the tet gene pool. And I'm interested in the tet conversions of some of the dips with large green throats. It seems like you just don't see those in the tets, so of course I'm dying to end up with a tet mini or small with a huge green throat -- and teeth! Always good to have a goal! nodding

If you look at the Floyd Cove 2013 General Listing under "T" you can see how they list the tet conversions for sale.
