![]() Pattern Maker
(Gossard, James) 2010 introduction
(Joseph's Coat x Elfin Etching x Spirited Style x Siloam Fine Art )
Diploid 29" Mid season Dormant emo fr 6.5" 3 way branching 18 buds. Fertile both ways. Rebloomer
Pattern Maker is my best to date pattern maker flower. It stamps the patterns on its kids. It merges Salter's and Henry's best pattern genetics together. What sets it apart from all the rest of the pattern flowers, is that it is very hard dormant, but should still grow well in the south. I believe this to be true since it seems to do fine in the green house setting. It has been extremely difficult utilizing Salter genetics, which I find so valuable in hybridizing for patterns to create northern hardy patterned daylilies. Pattern Maker is the accumulation of 7 years of pattern hybridizing to get a broken pattern daylily, there is no diploid dormant better than Pattern Maker. The loss of color is in both the petals and sepals. More blue in the sepals than the petals. I have seen over 9 different zones of color loss and color change. Because of the triangular form, Pattern Maker can be used in round and spider hybridizing. Notice also that Pattern Maker is taller than any of its parents
(see below). If you are hybridizing for dormant patterns, do not miss out on this one. A great flower to cross with the patterned Carpenter introductions. Supply is Limited........$200

![]() Tetra Pattern Maker
The tet form is much heavier in substance, but still retains all the complex patterns. The petal color is more accurate in the tetraploid photo. We should see the new kids bloom in 2010. It has been an excellent diploid parent and expect even better results out of the tetraploid form. I have only a single tetraploid fan at this time, so no tetra Pattern Maker for sale, taking no waiting lists either, will not be available till 2012 or later. Price will be $1000 per single fan, at that date
