Hippopotamus
(Gossard, James) 2011 introduction
(Way Cool x Puma)
Tetraploid 38" Mid Late season Semi-Dormant emo fr 8" 3-4 way branching 15-18 buds. Fertile both ways.
Flowers of Hippopotamus are peachy pink with a green undertone, greenish yellow edge, green throat. It has a lighter watermark.
An interesting fact about hippopotamuses is that they have teeth that are brownish gray and a light pink underneath. Their teeth can be as long as 20 inches. Boy would that scare one away. Hippopotamus has been one of my best parents for producing huge toothy edged seedlings. As a direct parent it has produced my best toothy daylilies to date. A good rebloomer in the north, it is a tremendous parent and garden daylily. Sold Out........$250.
Hippopotamus's teeth, sometimes she shows them well.

Kaskels Best Edge seedling has at least Ida's Braid and Spacecoast Starburst and Carried Away as parents, ( this is my opinion)
The year before Best Edge bloomed , I helped Matthew Kaskel make some crosses which had SPACECOAST STARBURST in them, they had huge edges.
They were the biggest edged daylilies that any one had done to this date. I rememember them being F2 crosses of SPACECOAST STARBURST x IDIA'S BRAID, atleast what Kaskel told me.
It is also believed a benz gold edged pink is it it also, most likely Carried Away. Benz and Kaskel traded gentics back and forth.
My best guess of BEST edge is ( IDIA'S BRAID x SPACECOAST STARBURST F2) x ( IDA'S BRAID x CARRIED AWAY)
