It is a 3 demensional looking magenta colored daylily that was apparently a milestone in 2005 as being the very first Bearded daylily having a 90 to 100% Uniform Bearding Rate, from which the term 'True Bearding' was made. He is 29" tall with a 5" Bloom. 3-way branching and 20+Buds. He is a Crispate form and pod fertile, and was created out of (Bee's Bettie Sue x a Lavender Blue Baby)pollen parent.. All 3 inner center petals are bearded. I am giving her a neutral rating as she is prohibitively expensive and i will probably never be able to own one and grow one for myself, hopefully Mr.Best will eventually come down on the price so more than an select few can enjoy it's beauty. More photos of Michael's Sword, a detailed journal and breeding and plant info on him can be found at http://www.rainbowhilldaylilyfarm.com/beard/index.html
