BIG EYED BUTTERFLY is our best navy
blue on cream based flower. Like many blue eyes the color is not a uniform navy
blue self but appears first as an outer plum band shading into navy blue and then
shading into gray and then charcoal. This is a wild color combination.
Interestingly, it shows a little different combination of colors on the sepals
where there is a distinct lavender band between the outer plum and inner navy
blue.
BIG EYED BUTTERFLY is a rare color
combination that is destined to be explored in the patterns as well as the blue
eyes. Daylilies are wonderful for presenting so many possibilities and BIG EYED BUTTERFLY will be great for
opening new doors. Pollen fertile but a difficult pod parent.
