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, 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, 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, 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, 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 - 36" M 7" dor. Dip. UF cascade. Clean bright lemon, rose red band, ruffled branched

As I focus on cascade form daylilies, this one stands out for its consistent form and clear color. A clean bright lemon yellow with a rose-red band, it is neatly finished with large ruffles on all segments. Well-branched and budded, it is fertile. This is a child of Casey at the Bat, crossed with a gold cascade seedling. It presents the blooms well.
Fertile.
