Better Lucky Than Good

(J. Goudeau 5-11-04) Tet, Ev, 32”, M, Re, 5” (h. Mr. Lucky X Grace Seedling)

I have found in life, those that are lucky seem to surpass those with talent. Better Lucky Than Good is a beacon in the garden. When in bloom visitors will cross the garden to get a better view. Better Lucky Than Good is well shaped brilliant orange with a tomato red eye that stands well above the dark evergreen foliage. The most intriguing aspect of this flower is red veining that extends from the eye out to the petal edges. This trait is passed on to the seedlings. Much like it’s parent, Mr. Lucky,

Better Lucky Than Good is a great performer increasing quickly and blooming throughout the summer months.

Six-Four-Three Double Play

(J Goudeau 6-7-24) (h. King Kahuna x Indy Frosted Pink) Dip, Semi, 24”, M, Re, 5”

Six Four Three Double Play is the most common double play in baseball. The shortstop fields the ball, throws it to the second baseman who then relays it to the first baseman getting two outs on one hit. Thanks to Charles Douglas for giving me the idea for the name.

Six Four Three Double Play is a light salmon pink whose edges become lighter with the heat of the day. The dark rose eye and large yellow to green throat really sets this double apart. 90% double, moderate bud count and branching

Blackwater Washout

(J. Goudeau 25-42-03) (Grace Seedling LG41 x Tet Lavender Blue Baby) x Sdg, 32”, 5”, Ev, ML, Fr, Re,

I have to thank Larry Grace for allowing me to purchase seedlings from his hybridizing program. This is from a Grace seedling I have assigned garden numbered LG41.

Blackwater Washout has been a great parent for giving me washed eyes in my purple and red programs. Blackwater Washout is a violet purple with a washed eye and just a thread of gold on the edges. The yellow to green throat seems to jump out at you. The flowers are well placed on with four way branching and a respectable bud count of 20.

Lavender Flirtation

(G. Goudeau 02-7-17-18) (Carpenter, Unending Melody seedling x J. Goudeau Seedling.) Tet, 28, 5, Ev, M, Re,

Ginger’s first introduction Lavender Fascination is from a seedling from Jack Carpenter’s great hybridizing program. Ginger returned home from Jack’s with a $100 seedling from Unending Melody. Her reasoning was, she has never met a lavender or purple she did not like.J Lavender Flirtation is a well-shaped lavender with an unusual violet purple eye and edge. A gold wire edge accents this flower. This has been a favorite pod and pollen parent of Ginger for the past three years. I have seen her set so many pods that the scape will wilt from the weight. 3 way branching 18-20 bud count.

Song of Praise

(J.Goudeau 4-13-2) Tet,Semi, 24”, 4” M, Re, Fr (L.Grace Tet Ultimate Perfection sdg) x sdg

Song of Praise is a polychrome with a mixture of yellow, orange and peach. The coloring will change with the heat of the day sometimes appearing more pink and other times more yellow. There is an ever so slight halo and edge of darker peach and a huge yellow to green throat that extends out into the petal face. The white midribs complete the look of this beautiful flower. Song of Praise is an easy pod parent that will set pods on even the hottest of days. Bud count and branching are moderate.

Daddy’s Heart

(J. Goudeau 01-6-2-17)) semi, 24” ML, Re 3.25”

I do not know if I will ever have a flower that deserves to be named for my daughter Ashley, but every time I see this one bloom, it makes me think of her. Daddy’s Heart is another good garden performer that increases quickly and blooms and blooms and blooms. She is a soft yellow with a rose halo and slight rose edge. There is a slight gold trim that circles the entire petal edge.

 I believe Daddy’s Heart will perform better in climates where it will recieve some colder temperatures. Bud count is moderate.

MYTRIS DUPLANTIS

26” Mre Ev 5” tet (seedling X JT Davis)

Myrtis DuPlantis is a creamy yellow with a slight pink blush. It has a very bubbly gold edge that opens well every morning. Myrtis DuPlantis is a reliable rebloomer and is both pod and pollen fertile. Bud count is 18 – 20.

I am naming my first introduction after a wonderful lady. Mrs. Myrtis is the wife of Region 13’s RVP Elmer DuPlantis. I feel in love with her the first time I met her. She always has a smile and a kiss for those she meets.

NEKKID WOMAN ON A TRACTOR

16” Ere Ev 5” tet ( seedling x Larry Grace seedling)

Nekkid Woman on a Tractor is a beautiful clear pink with a heavy gold edge. As beautiful as it is most hybridizers would not introduce it because of the low bud count of 9 – 10. Well I have purchased much worse. This is a front row plant with the foliage never getting much taller than 12”.

This one is named after a new daylily friend from Dallas, Texas. I can not wait to get her as a bus captain. She makes me laugh every time we e-mail. She has to be a hoot!

BETTER LATE THAN NEVER

28” VVL Re Ev 5” tet

This is a garden flower. It is a peachy color with a purple eye and edge with a little touch of gold. Why introduce this one you ask. Well it does not start blooming here till August after everything else is done. It clumps up quickly and puts on a great end of the year show. Better Late Than Never blooms well into October. It is both pollen and pod fertile and it lengthens the bloom period of its seedlings.

This flower will be offered to Region 13 attendees.
