MABEL FULLER- Kraus,'50,dor.dip. 36"4.5"ML Mabel Fuller is a red star spider
variant with a ratio of 4.6/1. Reputedly a spiderer, so it must be fertile both ways.
MARY WILLIAMS - Russell,'55, Hardy evergreen, dip.MLa.42"7" Large, pale coppery beige-yellow Unusual Form Pinched Crispate with rosy purple eyezone,
a fairly good increaser, and a most attractive flower.
LIME PAINTED LADY Russell,'54. sev.dip.M.Re.36" 8" ext. Light greenish yellow Unusual Form Pinched Crispate. Very triangular with nice green cast to it.
OLIVE'S ODD ONE- Pauley-Couturier, '92,dor.dip.M.Re.40"6" This is a most unusual color pattern variant. Gold, lightly sanded or stippled paprika, a red reverse bitone with darker red sanded sepals, wide light gold edge, and a faint darker halo. The color stands out on this one in a clump.
MEMORY JORDAN - Reinke, 96R, dor.dip.fr.ML.38" 9" Deeper lavender- pink with a faint wine halo and greenish gold throat. Checklisted as a spider variant with a ratio of 4.4/1. This is a digital image, and I think the color is
somewhat more flattering than it really is to the naked eye.
PETER AERNE - Lambert,'82,dor.dip.ext.Em.26"6" Crimson and scarlet blend Unusual Form Twisting Crispate with green throat, petals are edged buff,
sepals can twist and curl on this colorful and different exotic. Sepals can twist more dramatically than this image shows. I don't see this on the UF List, but perhaps it should be.
PUZZLING PRIZE - W.C. Branch,'67, (34 years old) sev.dip.M.Re.noc.24" 5" This used to be described as a "fat spider," with cream edges on the sepals and
green throat. Reputed to be a "spiderer" when it came to breeding. It is a fair increaser.
POST TIME - Wild, '75,dor.dip .Em.RE.28"5" A very velvety, ruffled, triangular overlapped ruby red with a lemon yellow circular throat with light green heart. This hem sold for I think about $200 when it was first introduced.
It was reputedly a very, very slow increaser.... hence that higher price back then, but it is not extremely slow in its increase. It is just not rapid. It set quite a flurry of activity back then for the Wilds, and was much sought after. This image does not do the color full justice.
PRISSY FRILLS - Childs,'82int ,dor. dip.M.RE.28"7"Fantastic lavender self with
green throat. This is often an Unusual Form Pinched Crispate, though this image does not demonstrate that trait. The registration data does not even mention the purple band on this one. The throat is lemon yellow, huge, and starshaped. I think this one is fertile.
SATIN BIRD - Childs,'83,dor.dip.M.Re.28"6" The flower is a medium violet and bluish purple reverse bitone, or debatably a reverse bicolor, with darker purple eyezone and chartreuse green throat. The checklist does not mention
the eyezone, as with Prissy Frills, but if it is not there you have a misnomer. It is lightly ruffled and has a light midrib cutting through the
eyezone. I consider this to be one of the most beautiful daylilies the Childs ever produced in my opinion. It's 2 sibs, Trahlyta and Unique Purple cannot not touch it in this respect. Actually, Satin Bird is one of my favorites of all
daylilies and will always be grown here.
Satin Bird is fertile both ways, occasionally producing very late bloomers. It does not necessarily produce eyed kids.
SPANISH FANDANGO -Wallace,'82,dor. dip.fr.M.26"8.5" An elegant somewhat spidery looking, fairly flat and wide opening exotic. It is a creamy apricot yellow with lovely rose edges to the nicely ruffled petals. The extent of the rose flushes on the petal tips can vary from day to day. The throat is green. The ruffles are not closely packed but can almost be knobby at times. This is a sharp looking, dramatic flower with very good branching and bud
count. The sepals can twirl a bit on this one.
It is quite pod fertile.
TARUGA - Stout,'41,hardy evergreen dip.ext.EM.Re.36"7" Dramatic yellow
Unusual Form Pinched Crispate with halo, historic, pretty, most eye-catching
and pleasing, not often seen or listed that I know of.
YAZOO DELTA - W.H. Smith,'61, Hardy evergreen.dip.ext.M.36"7"Huge and most
attractive, this is another Unusual Form Pinched Crispate with a personality all its own. A standout flower in bright orange yellow, Ratio = 3.2/1.
Petals are not only nicely pinched, but they are also nicely ruffled. 40 years old.
TIGEREYE SPIDER - Reed,'95, dor.dip.EM.Re.ext.34"6" Bronze-orange classic spider with a black-orange chevron eyezone above a gold, turning to green throat. [BLACK PLUSH X KINDLY LIGHT] Ratio =5.68/1. I really like the eyezone on this one. It is a warm bronze orange color. It is fertile both ways.
