2009 INTRODUCTIONS
Cast Your Crown
Cast Your Crown (Forestlake Ragamuffin x Emmerich seedling) 27”, 5”, Dormant, ML, 24 buds with 3 way branching, fertile both ways.
This dormant red with gold toothy edge is a unique breeding in reds and valuable as both a garden plant and a hybridizing plant. The pollen came from Karol Emmerich (thanks Karol) and her tender but gorgeous shark-tooth seedling 16399 (Fortune’s Dearest x Lifting Me Higher). When crossed to Forestlake Ragamuffin, we were fortunate to get a dormant plant with teeth. $125

Endless Day
Endless Day (Eternal Glory x Cream Perfection) 32”, 6.5”, Dormant, EM, 19 buds with 2 way branching, fertile both ways.
Cream Perfection is a large flower out of Tet. Betty Benz. When combined with our Eternal Glory, we got seedlings with large size, improved color, heavy texture and good opening flowers. Endless Day is the largest of the seedlings with first flowers over 7”. The apricot/gold color is showy and flowers stand on sturdy scapes. The name comes from its garden performance as it is as pretty at 6:00 pm as it is at 6:00 am. $50
Garnet Jewel
Garnet Jewel (Upon This Rock x Vatican City) 28”, 5.5”, Dormant, M, 25 buds with 4 way branching, fertile both ways.
Garnet Jewel is a velvety deep red. The texture and deep color are stunning in the garden. This daylily is distinctive for being sunfast, a consistent bloomer and an excellent opener. Another excellent plant from Upon This Rock. $25

Heir to the Throne
Heir to the Throne (Forsyth Comanche x Eternal Glory) 29”, 5.75”, Dormant, M, 27 buds with 3 way branching, fertile both ways.
Heir to the Throne is simply the finest pink daylily we have grown (including any other hybridizer). Its many attributes include hardiness, flat opening, excellent scape with well spaced buds, consistent flowers, fragrant, and an outstanding hybridizing plant. As a hybridizing plant, Heir to the Throne will be producing new introductions for us in a variety of colors for many years. The edges on the kids are huge and many have the same hard dormant plant habit that we love about Heir to the Throne. $200 SF

Legendary Romance
Legendary Romance (Dan Mahony x Mount Herman Marvel) 28”, 5.25”, Evergreen, M, 26 buds with 3 way branching, fertile both ways.
This coral flower with rose eye is a unique daylily both in color and shape. We had several plants scattered throughout the garden in 2008 and all performed wonderfully this summer. This plant has been in the garden for 5 years with no winter problems in spite of its evergreen foliage. Fertile both ways, we have a couple potential introductions from this flower. The wide blunt sepals and perfect form make this daylily recognizable in the garden. $50

Northern Treasure
Northern Treasure (Northern Dawn x Treasure of the Southwest) 25”, 5.5”, Dormant, M, 23 buds with 3 way branching, fertile both ways.
Northern Treasure is a full sib to Forever Rosemary and is an exciting color addition to the garden. In addition to great color, Northern Treasure adds a larger watermark, ruffled gold edge, veining, and a colored midrib. Many garden visitors have commented on this flower – noting its beauty and struggling to describe the lovely color. We have had great success using this flower for hybridizing. Easily fertile, we have lovely seedlings with saturated colors, watermarks, and fancy edges. Available in collection only last year, in 2010 Northern Treasure is available by itself. $125

Another introduction from Upon This Rock, Rolling Stone combines with Joan Derifield to make a reddish purple flower with a fine gold edge. Joan Derifield brought the wonderful color and Upon This Rock brought the edge and improved opening ability to make a flower that will be a wonderful addition to the garden. Rolling Stone has proven to be a fine parent for reds with edges. $25

Rocks Cry Out
Rocks Cry Out (Upon This Rock x Momentum) 33”, 5.5”, Dormant, EM, 31 buds with 4 way branching, fertile both ways.
Rocks Cry Out is our finest introduction from Upon This Rock. This flower has all the great attributes we seek in our hybridizing efforts. First, we want a beautiful flower that is unique.

Second, Rocks Cry Out is a hardy dormant, has a great scape, and opens well in all weather. Finally, Rocks Cry Out is easily fertile and is producing fancy red flowers with ruffled edges. This gorgeous flower is easily noticed by garden visitors for its unique look. $125.

Shotgun Wedding
Shot Gun Wedding (Celestial Army x August Wedding) 23”, 5.5”, Dormant, EM, 29 buds with 3 way branching, fertile both ways.
What happens when you have two great creamy flowers such as Celestial Army and August Wedding? You hybridize them together. Such a forced mating led to Shotgun Wedding. This heavily ruffled beauty is excellent for the front border. It blooms above the foliage with a large number of cream white flowers. $50
Where’s Waldo
Where’s Waldo (Calling All Angels x Inner Destiny) 33”, 5”, Evergreen, M, 18 buds with 3 way branching, fertile both ways.
Where’s Waldo first bloomed in 2005 after a winter where 50% of our daylilies died. For that reason we can call Where’s Waldo a hardy evergreen. Where’s Waldo also distinguishes itself with good height, substance, and consistent opening. An early morning opener, Where’s Waldo is a happy face that greets us every morning during the daylily season. This flower was named for our miniature schnauzer that tends to disappear when we focus on our daylilies. $75
