Dragon Knight         
(Gossard, James)  2010 introduction

((Order or Chaos x Shinto Etching) x (Tetra Spindazzle)) x (Born too Late x Crocodile Smile)
TET 31" MLa Dormant emo fr 8 3/4" 3-4 way branching  18-22 buds. Fertile both ways, rebloomer

Dragon Knight has dark red flowers with a darker red eye zone and green throat. The teeth, edge, and fangs are yellow green. A great parent for hybridizing for green teeth in daylilies. It was my number one red parent. Yellow Viper was a sib. Much like YELLOW VIPER, the edge rolls back and is difficult to see how big it really is in a photo. A third sib from the same cross has a blue eye and edge. Dragon Knight is the parent of our new pink fanged daylily Wolverine, a 2010 introduction. Dragon Knight has been a tremendous parent. It is producing better toothy huge edged kids of all colors than its self. Some of the best kids are ones crossed with Heman. In future introductions you will often see it as one of the parents.  Dragon Knight is a break through in dormant edged breeding........$250
