Dancing with Ellen- 2010

reluctant cross where I set 23 pods on Orchid Corsage producing
110 seeds. There were several solid creams and whites in the
seedlings but only one clear yellow. This large 8 inch flower
is a dormant bright yellow unusual form has great personality.
Bred from two lavender parents. Tall scapes measuring 54 inches
with long stemmed 4 way branching. A late to very late bloomer
that blooms when most all others are finished, great addition
to the back of the late bed. Sibling to Pointer Sisters

 Madagascal
Moon
(Ferengi Gold X Ram)
Don Church 2009 |
Madagascal Moon - 2009
5.5 inch flowers on a 30 inch
scape, dormant foliage
Just when you think yellow tetraploids
could not be improved, along comes a daylily that out shines
both parents. (Ferengi Gold x Ram)
Ram pollen brings H. Fred Ham
, a Munson classic in the south, into a hardy daylily for northern
gardens. Super clean looks with great performance repeating here
in this zone 5a garden. Very heavy substance with great form
making it rainproof. 3- 4 way branching with a bud count of 25.
Opens flat every day with never a bad hair day. Adding that it
consistantly repeats in Maine's climate before the first scape
is finished blooming makes Madagascal Moon a northern hybridizers
dream come true.
The name Madagascal comes from
an American Indian word naming a lake and stream in northern
Maine. Words can not describe this beautiful spring fed trout
stream that flows through mature trees from the town of Lee through
the township of Saponic and meets the Passadumkeag River.

Blanc into the 90's and thought the genectics and garden value
important enough to double its genes in his last white 2001 introduction
of H. Blanc DeCoubert.

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 this past year(2008) with very wide petals and great
substance like Lavender Stories.
Lavender Stories' foliage habit
is semi-evergreen and midseason flowering.

SIMPLE SPLENDOR - 2005
(PURE& SIMPLE X PATRICIAN
SPLENDOR)
I don't usually like the blending
of the parent names for cultivars but this one certainly fits
the blend of both the parents. 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.

PURPLE TUFF ENUFF
[ Houdini x (Court Magician x Admirals braid )]
Wide petals measured at 3.25 inches
and blooming over a long period from Midseason through late season.
Purple Tuff Enuff opens flat after 48 - 50° nights, it
opens flat when most of all of the registered purples and lavenders
in the garden do not. These cold nights happen frequently here
on the coast of Maine during the bloom season making this selection
a winner in cold northern locations such as our own.
In hot weather Purple Tuff Enuff rolls back.
