TRY IT Marvelous and gorgeous Childs ''73 cultivar, dor.tet.EM.RE.26"6" Beautiful rose red blend on the petals. It is a rose red and lighter rose pink bitone with a green gold throat. Prominent white midribs set of the petals exquisitely. Twenty-eight years old, it still sells on sight, often ahead of some of the modern ruffled beauties. Like the classics in liturature, it will not likely be forgotten by those who grow it and see it. Checklist description is not quite accurate since it does not mention it being a bito |
Apps' Korean Hemerocallis Fulva allegedly found around 1984. ev.dip.40" 5" (slightly larger here) Long blooming tawny orange with darker rust eyezone, rhizomatous, a bud builder, bud count of about 30 which is much higher than my regular H. F. Europa. This is why it blooms so much longer. |
DESERT ICICLE |
MORGEN LE FEY Whitacre, '92, sev.dip.MLa.42" 7.5" Marvelous copper brown with a slightly darker brown eyezone and a gold throat. This is a great Unusual Form Variable Crispate with pinched petals, sepals that want to quill, irregular curling.....it is like a folded back star...........elegant and handsome looking. |
RED RAIN |
NOVELTY NUMBER Lambert,'65,dor.dip.28"5" Yellowish flower with rose-red eyezone extending to the petal tips, and yellowish midrib extending through the eyezone. The throat is yellow green. This is a very different color pattern variant, and a most attractive one. It is a fairly rapid increaser. The plants are medium in size. |
Madam Spider - Miller, '83,dor.dip.fr.noc.MLa.32"6.5" Pale yellow crispate spider variant, very unusual looking, has a green throat, does not make large fans, but is a rapid increaser, Ratio = 4.7/1. |
Garden Portrait - Bechtold,'53,dor .dip.M.28"8" Pale yellow self with less texture than Kindly Light. This is a classic spider with a ratio of 5.8/1. It is both pod and pollen fertile and has produced some winners for several hybridizers, i.e., Rosemary's Red Rain. This is one that often gets confused with Kindly Light for some reason or other. I kept ordering it from different well known growers in the US, and could see no difference between what they sent and my own Kindly Light. I finally got the true clones from the Whitacre's and Oake's. |
Martie Everest - McDade, '47, evergreen, but hardy here, dip.ML.40"7"Very good spider variant, beautifully formed copper and parchment yellow bicolor, a good increaser, fans not large, Ratio = 4.8/1. |
Milady Greensleeves - Lambert,'80,dor.dip.M.fr.32" 7"Greenish tinted flower tipped pink, a greenish yellow bicolor with a green throat. This is an Unusual Form Variable Crispate. |
Miss Jesse - Hardy,56,dor.dip.M.40"6.5"S patulate, Spider Variant bicolor of orchid/mauve and light yellow, ratio = 4/1, This can be simply lovely in clump strength. |
Mormon Spider - Roberson,'83,dor.dip,ext,M.28"8.5" Huge, Unusual Form Spatulate that is not a spider......it's ratio is only 2.3/1. However, it is very striking looking in yellow edged bronze with a gold throat. It can make a statement . This cultivar is somewhat similar to Mynelle's Starfish, but there are differences, the latter being much more ruffled here. |
Mynelle's Starfish - Hayward,'84,sev.dip. ext.noc.M.RE.20"10" This is a sensational, mammoth ivory self with green throat in an Unusual Form Pinched Crispate of great proportion. This one commands attention when it is putting on its show. There was some controversy over this cultivar compared to Momon Spider about 15 years ago when some claimed M. Starfish to really be M. Spider. This controversy was being aired about the same time as the Super Purple/Catherine Neal controversy was being waged. Actually there should have been no controversy at all. The Starfish is much more ruffled than Mormon Spider, though both are about the same height. As for Super Purple and Catherine Neal, the bloom seasons are different here and CN grows 2 ft. taller than SP. . |
