Reed, 1997 - 28" Mla 6" dor.dip. Corduroy rose purple with yellow throat. Pinched UF HM

(Reed, 09)  45”  MLa  6.5”  dor.dip.ext. fragrant.  Unusual Form –cascade.  This bloom is yellow/green (lemon/lime) with tea-colored piecrust-ruffled edges.  It has heavy substance and good curling form with presentation power.  It is symmetrically recurved and the ends twist and curl. It stands tall on erect scapes with 2-3 way branching, and has a bud count of about 16.  Out of LOLA BRANHAM, it continues blooming into mid-August. Crisp fresh substance - refreshing in hot August like a cool drink.   Fertile.  (name pending)

    (Reed, ’09)   50”  MLa  8”  dor.dip.ext.  Unusual Form – pinched crispate (very consistent).  Large, late, tall, and pinkish. 

This bloom has size, form, substance, presence, and personality.  The color is muted pink, with a large yellow-cream throat (green deep in the throat).  The sepals quill and curl and the petals are ruffled.  Parentage unknown, this has been a favorite garden flower for the late season for some time. Scapes are erect and the bud count is just adequate (around 12). Difficult pod parent.  Really nice dancing in the late garden!  It is a bud builder still in bloom at the end of August. Actual budcount is higher with good culture.

Special Price- it grows fast!

Reed, 2006 - 42" EM 7" dor.dip. UF/cascade Soft cream yellow, dusted rose huge eye

This distinctive bloom is a soft cream yellow, mostly obscured by the large pattern of stippled rose eye, outlining a very intense green throat. The form is a ruffled, gentle cascade. This seedling, out of Lola Branham, spent a couple of summers near the Monocacy River in Maryland with a friend, while I moved to Virginia. Couldn't be left behind forever! Very different. Fertile both ways.

Reed, 2007 - 30" EM 9" dor.dip. Huge green throat, peach pink ends of petals

Creamy rose-peach with a rose pink eye, this bloom is dominated by a huge, open green throat.
The blooms' large size and "clockwork" open form make it a standout. Out of Magic of Oz, this cultivar gets attention in the garden.
Fertile.

Reed, 1994 - 26" M 6" dor.dip. Light pink to near white, green throat. Not spidery

(Reed, 09) 30" EM 7" dormant diploid, ext.

A real spider, or "mosquito legged" daylily, I chose this one because of its deep loopy ruffles. Unlike the "shoe string" skinny spiders, this one has personality because of the ruffles. It is a pink-lavender, with a purple eye. Its skinniness makes it unusual among mine. It is a sib to VIRGINIA MOONSHINE, but a little shorter and a little less branching. It is easily fertile both ways.

Reed, 2003 - 38" EMRe 5" dor.dip. UF Orange with red chevron eye, dkr.orange edge, gold tht.

Reed, 1996 - 45" EM 7" dor.dip. Smokey lavender Pink Blend, ruffled, recurved.

Reed, 1997 - 46" EM 7" dor.dip. Tall yellow with red eyezone and gold throat, cascades

Reed, 2008 - 38" EM 7" dor. Dip. UF crispate Dark red with black eyezone, pinched

Another out of Chief Black Hand (and Mad Max), I consider this uf an improved Rocky Horror. With some of the same form and color, it is larger, and has a stronger scape with better branching. The blooms are large, have heavy substance, and are sunproof. Very dark, the red-purple has a darker, almost black eye. The petals are long and pinched, sometimes twirling. The edges get lighter on a hot day, but the bloom continues to look good. Fertile. Green throat.

(Reed, 2008) 34" MLa 6.5" dormant diploid This warm pink exotic is a variable unusual form it often cascades, and often becomes a pinched crispate unusual form. It is large, lush, full, and showy. It is very ruffled, with the yellow throat blending out into candy shades of cream, pink, and rose. There are darker edges on the sepals, lighter ruffles on the petals. It is has 2-3 way top branching with 14-16 buds. Luscious, it earned the garden name, "Pink Exotica". Fairy tale material.

Reed, 1991 - 26" Ere 6" dor.dip. Orange with red-orange eyezone, gold throat. Reblooms. HM

Reed, 2005 - 40" Mla 5.5" dor.dip. Orchid lavender bitone, green tht. Great branching, bud count

Reed, 2005 - 60" Mla 6" dor.dip. Lavender pink bitone, cream ribs, cream to green tht. Tall!

Reed, 2006 - 36" M 5" dor.dip. Peachy salmon pink with gold-cream throat

Soft salmony pink with a cream throat and watermark, and lighter edges. This is a simple, serene bloom that is gently recurved, and living somewhere in the never-never land between bagels and spiders. The sepals curl back. Just a lovely garden pleasure, named in honor of Jane Mahan of Arkansas who has admired it in her garden. 2-3 way branching, 20-22 buds. Fertile both ways.

(Reed, 2010)  56”  MLa  8”  dormant diploid

Named after my cat, Peak, and my love of mountains, this tall daylily is commanding.  The garden name has been “Tall, late, silvery lavender pink” which says it all.  It is a very large bloom, outfacing, and the cool pale pink is set off with a cream appliqué throat color/watermark.

Reed, 1996 - 42" EM 7" sev.dip. Spider. Dark purple with lemon throat. HM

Reed, 2001 - 30" M 6" dor.dip. UF Cream pink with rose eye, ruffled and recurved.

Reed, 2005 - 36" EM 7" dor.dip. UF Rose pink above cream yellow throat.

Flamingo to rose pink, with a cream throat and light ruffled edges. With a definite "attitude", the blooms look like they are ready to go after you. The "crab" form and crimped edges add to the illusion of teeth. Won't set seeds for me, but the pollen is OK.

Reed, 2005 - 50" Mla 7" dor.dip. Pink blend, darker veins, very good branching and bud count

Reed, 2006 - 40" Mla 6" dor.dip. Dark purple spidery with excellent branching and bud count

Another in my "architecture" series of fabulously well-branched cultivars. The bloom is a nice ruffled dark "Trahlyta" purple, but with scape performance! It has a green throat. It joins Prosaic Architecture (pink) and Orchid Architecture (orchid bitone) in the section devoted to breeding better performing plants. 3-5 way deep branching, 25 - 50 buds. Fertile both ways.

Reed, 2006 - 40" E 6.5" dor.dip. Early silvery pink spidery crab form

This bloom stands out in the early season garden with its intense silvery-mauve pink color and crisp form. The blooms are open in the throat, crab-wise. 3-way branching, 22 buds. Fertile both ways, but a difficult pod parent.

Reed, 2004 - 42" La 6" dor.dip. Late up-facing red, good branching
