Lighted Stage

(Beck-B., 2025) Bx17-9 (Oh Erica x Simply Leaves Me Breathless)
6", 34", ML, Sev., Tet, 16 buds, 3 way
Cream with a huge raspberry red eye and edge, small green throat blending outward with orange tones.
In the beginning one of my obsessions with daylilies was the eye and picotee edged ones. When I first bloomed Oh Erica, It was one of my first really big moments. I knew I had something special. I can't remember how long after that, I obtained Simply Leaves Me Breathless. Simply Leaves Me Breathless was my favorite purple eye and edge for quite some time. I knew these two would make something great. Lots of crossing between them. I had so many wonderfully beautiful seedlings. But they all looked like Simply Leaves Me Breathless. One day I was looking through all of the purple and cream I saw something different. There it was bright red! It was a standout. I later realized it was more of a raspberry red. Lighted Stage is a wonderful grower and has a great plant under it.
