For most of my adult life I have been telling people that as a daylily hybridizer I breed for bigger and better and am ultimately looking for a flower that “Genetically jumps the fence”. Well that day has arrived in SWAN SONG.  I remember walking the seedling fields one morning and there she was…  One white bloom in amongst a long cross of a lavender and a rose/pink flowers.  As I got closer I could see how different she looked.  No way was this just a white seed that had been mixed up.  Here was a super heavy substance white with a 1% pink base, bright sparkles and green everywhere.  Over half the throat, and into the ruffled petals as well.  That was 4 years ago and I still just stare, and use her heavily.  GUY'S SWAN SONG will set almost every flower, and she throws BETTER / BIGGER and TALLER!  I have a future big white & green where the scape comes up to my chest.  Every year I load her up with pods starting in April, May, then into July.  That takes a lot of energy.  I Harvest the pods, break her up and line her out in the full fun.  We never use Banrot etc. and have not lost a plant.  I say to you quite proudly; GUY'S SWAN SONG is priceless, for many, many reasons.  Whites covered in green for me have become a whole new Program/Passion.   And so as the contradiction goes - Your welcome.
