Reed, 1997 - 28' La 5.5" sev.dip. Light rose with lemon throat, recurved, very late HM, SFA

Reed, 2005 - 30" M 4" dor.dip. Spider. Red self, green throat. Small spidery

(Reed, 2010)  32”  EM  6”  dormant, diploid

Richest rose pink, with a green throat, this bloom presents itself nicely.  On the hottest days, it becomes a lighter rose pink, but holds up perfectly.  Its strength is the scape, which is usually 3 or 4-way branched and holds the blooms apart.  A beautiful Blue Ridge rose with lots of ruffles.  Pod and pollen fertile.

(Reed, 09) 36" M 6" semievergreen diploid, ext. sunfast

Intense bright raspberry red with ruffles and a yellow throat narrowing down to green. It has some branching and a good bud count. It is easily fertile both ways. Bright color and open, graceful form make it show-off. The pollen parent was NATHAN SOMMERS, which gives us some beautiful red colors, and the pod parent was a dormant, hardy seedling out of Lola Branham and some red and pink seedlings ("Red Lola" x "Hot Pink").

Reed, 2007 - 38" EM 7" dor. Dip. Crispate UF Apricot gold consistently pinched, fertile.

Reed, 2006 - 30" M 4" ev. Dip. Polytepal rose pink with variable blooms, and fast growth. Fertile.

BANJO BIRD is out of OKLAHOMA KICKING BIRD, and has the rose color of its parent, and some evergreen tendencies. It has been hardy here in zone 6. It is a pretty bright rose pink, with good branching. But its main interest is the degree to which it has polytepal blooms. In 2005 more than 50% of the blooms were polytepal; in 2006 the percentage was much lower (along with other polytepals in the garden, for no defined reason). With no guarantee of consistency, I offer this cultivar with potential for breeding polytepals in rose pink colors.

Reed, 2007 - 48" M 7" dor. Dip. Elegant dark black red, well branched

Tall, dark, and well-branched, this cultivar out of Chief Black Hand and Planet Max carries on their grand tradition. The blooms are large and dark wine-red toward black. The scapes are erect and nicely branched, with a good bud count. It won best seedling in the NCDC show in 2006 (Washington DC area). The blooms are elegant and narrow, with gentle ruffling. Yellow to green throat, sunproof, fertile.

Reed, 2005 - 42" M 7" dor.dip. Pale gold with dark wine-red eye, yellow throat

Named after my favorite daughter, the softball player, this daylily has a black eye! The bloom is very ruffled and has a narrow, exotic form. The dark wine-red/black eye is in high contrast to the pale gold/parchment background color. There is the slight beginning of a picotee edge in the dark color. This daylily presents many different faces, but it is always very showy in the garden. Fertile both ways and often reblooms.

Reed, 2005 - 40" Mla 6" dor.dip. UF red with dark red eye, yellow edge and rib, fancy

Reed, 2005 - 45" Mla 7" dor.dip.Dark red purple self, great substance and form, well branched

Reed, 2008 - 36" EM 6.5" dor. Dip. Soft pink with creamy ruffled edges, 4-way branching

Soft pink, with a cream throat and midribs, and creamy ruffled edges. Out of Loch Ness Monster, the ruffles are on all segments, and the bloom is gently recurved and narrow. The garden name has been Pink LNM. With wide 4-way branching and 18-20 buds, it displays the blooms nicely. It is named after my mother, who was the first person I knew to grow daylilies. If only hers in the 1950's had been this pretty! She would love it. Fertile.

Reed, 1994 - 38" EMRe 6.5" dor.dip. Spider. Orange with orange-red eyezone, olive green thr HM

(Reed, 2010)  40”  M  4”  dormant diploid

 Cute as a chipmunk, this little brown spidery bloom has a black stripe (eye) and green throat. It is tall, well-branched, and has lots of bloom.  Not quite a miniature or a true spider, it has potential in that direction.  It is out of REUTHER’S BROWN SPIDER x BROWN WITCH, which gives it a heritage of vigor and pod fertility.

Reed, 2008 - 26" M 5" dor. Dip. Cool lavender with big pale white frosty throat.

This cool lavender bloom has a white center, with frost permeating the middle of the bloom. Under its garden name, White Faced seedling, it was noticed by many visitors because of its large white area. It is not narrow, but flat-faced, presenting the color pattern nicely. Green deep in the throat.
Fertile.

Reed, 2003 - 36" M 8" dor.dip. UF Light pink with light rose eye - cascade, exotic.

Reed, 2005 - 55" Mla 6" dor.dip. Warm pink above cream yellow throat, tall

Dancing eye to eye, or nose to nose, you will not have to bend down to look at this warm pink exotic bloom. 3-way branching, and sturdy scapes support the blooms that are nicely ruffled. This one brings flamingo pink color into the very tall group of daylilies. Fertile both ways.

Reed, 2005 - 60" Mla 8" dor.dip UF/cascade - gold yellow with rose-peach blush eye, gr.th.tall

Truly standing above the crowd, Dances with Giraffes is at least 5 feet tall when established. The large blooms cascade and curl down from the tall scapes, golden yellow with a rose-peach blush eye above a green throat. It is registered as an unusual form/cascade. Difficult to set a pod, but the pollen is good. This makes a statement in the garden!
