admmad said:@mom2cjemma I am always interested in delving deeper into the ancestry and inheritance of a plant. ...............

'Endless Heart' has deep purple ancestors so may carry the hidden ability to produce purple seedlings.

Scent perhaps is the more difficult characteristic. Are there very scented diploid daylilies growing nearby?

Starman's Quest hasn't bloomed yet this year, to check for scent, but it is a Diploid. It's one parent is Trahlyta, which is also a dormant diploid and and carries a fragrance. The green throat and pattern from Starman's Quest is very similar to that of this seedling.

If you take the average height of EBC (Endless Heart) and SQ, (21+40)/2 you get just about 30-31 which is right on target for the current height of this scape.

It is due to bloom again in tomorrow! Can't wait to see it again!
