| − | + | Would you like a tall-and-small, well-ruffled pink to add a little attitude and altitude to your garden? Height Of Fashion lords it over shorter daylilies with a nice 4 branches and 20 buds. Unlike certain award-winning daylilies that I could name, the slender, non-phototropic scapes stand erect and never lean. It's a rapid increaser with splendid foliage. It's something of a bitone, and has a beautiful green throat that stands out. | |

| + | Height Of Fashion comes from my rebloom lines, though it doesn't rebloom for me. I have grown thousands of rebloom seedlings over the years, and this one stuck out dramatically because it was about twice as tall as any of the other seedlings! But it was not a mistake: not a seed from another cross that jumped into the rebloomers or pollen from another source. Just luck to get such distinctive height. | ||

| + | There are a few things I'd like to improve in future generations: the petals do curl in high heat (and uncurl when they cool) and there is some yellow under the pink. Height Of Fashion is a weak pod parent, but a strong pollen parent. None of its kids have yet developed the same height: perhaps because I haven't had anything else in rebloom lines that tall to breed with. But the kids are showing rebloom and remarkable colors and patterns as you can see below. Notice the edge on [[MH0930A]]? Now I can work towards tall-and-small rebloomers as well. | ||
