LAVENDER STORIES

Don Church 2004
This is registered as an unknown because Ravens in the yard pulled the ID tags out in this area of the seedling garden. I believe it was from Always Afternoon x Nosferatu
Temporarily Out
This very large lavender tetraploid daylily is a vigorous grower. Fourth flower measurements were taken and it was 7.25 " across with 3.75" wide petals. Lavender Stories opens a wide flat flower every two to three days per scape. It has very good flower presentation and long bloom time because of this trait.
Very pod fertile, I set virtually every flower two summers ago trying to capture this wide petaled look and heavy texture in other colors. Some of the offspring bloomed with very wide petals and great substance like Lavender Stories.
Lavender Stories' foliage habit is semi-evergreen and midseason flowering.

SIMPLE SPLENDOR

Don Church 2005
I don't usually like the blending of the parent names for cultivars but this one certainly fits the blend of both the parents. (Pure & Simple X Patrician Splendor) 4 - 5 way branched with 25-35 bud count. This beautiful daylily has remarkable performance with a long bloom season and bloomed 43 days in 2008
A large flower at 6" and an early bloom time put this one opening before many of the large tetraploids even start. A nice pink that passes on its elegant ruffles to its offspring.
