MACON GRAPE, Scarbrough 1995. This is one of the first blooms we see in the spring. The grape color with its white midribs stand out against its dark green foliage. The plant is always in very limited supply because it sells well and multiplies slowly. This 7" bloom is intriguing. $25

MONKEY MAN, Scarbrough 2000. Is my personal favorite in the garden. The 8.5" bloom sometimes reaches near 11 inches. The color is rose beige but some mornings the color will have a very pink cast.

This was my first introduction and is named for my wife. $10

It is very exciting to see new cultivars form. Our first plant was registered in 1995. Since that time we have registered fifteen plants. We grow our seedlings in 5 x 10 raised beds. Seedlings are selected if they exhibit different qualities and strong characteristics. We are especially interested in unusual forms and dormant plants.

Our garden is state inspected and is a display garden for the American Hemerocallis Society. We follow the recommendations from the University of Georgia for weed, disease, and insect control. We are members of the American Hemerocallis Society, the Middle Georgia Hemerocallis Society and the Horticulture Club. As time permits we enjoy showing flowers in the local and regional flower shows. We will be on the regional tour for Region Five this year. We always invite everyone to our annual open garden.
