Reed, 2003 - 44" M 6" dor.dip. Spider. Black red, dark eye, green throat, vigorous grower

(Reed, 1994) - 34" EM 6" dor.dip. Spider. Bronze-orange with black chevron, gold throat. HM  Still a great spider, early, and will grow in poor conditions.

(Murphy ‘09)   48” M   9”  Dor Dip ext. Red Spider.  

My long awaited first intro from BRILLIANT IDEA by KIRSTEN MADELAINE BURKEY is not to be missed in the garden. It starts blooming here about July 1st and bud builds until September 1st .  Unlike many red spiders, it is wide open on cool mornings at dawn and blooms until after dark. It has a red eye, green throat, lemon midrib, 5/1 spider ratio, and excellent foliage.  Fertile,

Wilson 06  35" EM 6.5 Sev Dip UF Crispate

This Hot gold to orange UF is an excellent bud builder and blooms for over 2 months for us. Highly suggested for a long season of bloom. Bred in the north- hardy. If in doubt about this plant, try it, a great one from Wilson.

Metzger 2011 43" EMRE 7.5" DOR DIP UF DOUBLE

We are introducing this new cultivar for David after watching it and loving it for 2 years. It is a light lemon self UF cascade double that reliably reblooms for us. It has many different looks , but most of the time it is a layered double and a 95% or better double. Not only is it a good garden plant, but has produced some of the best layered double spiders and UF's that I have seen.  3 branches, 18 buds.  It is out of HOWS THE WEATHER UP THERE by FIRE FLY FRENZY. It has a tiny green heart. It allows non double spiders and UF's to produce double offspring, but not every time.  (See images of two offspring ) Pollen fertile only, but very strong pollen

Very Limited

(Reed,  2012)  30" MLa  6"  dormant, diploid  UF - Cascade with 4 branches and 22 buds.  Extended bloom.

This cascade is pure clean color – bright, light purple with lighter midribs, and a large cream-white eyezone with a deep green throat.  Nicely ruffled.  The scapes are moderate height and look delicate, but with excellent branching hold many blooms.  Not as large or tall as some of its siblings, this one is smaller scale, and holds its own.  Great foliage. Pod and pollen fertile.

 Murphy 2011 39"  MLRe  6"  dormant diploid cascade unusual form

A sunfast lavender and raspberry with lemon cream throat and a ruffled cream edge. I went back and forth with whether it is raspberry or lavender and finally decided it is both. Registered with 3 branches and 18 buds, but more under good conditions, it also reliably re-blooms for us in September. Pollen Fertile, Pod Possible, out of MARGO REED INDEED by NORTH WIND DANCER.

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.

(Reed, 07) 56" L 5.5" dormant, diploid

Quite tall, like pink turtles blooming on the top of 4-way deeply branched scapes (24 buds). Out of LOLA BRANHAM, this one blooms late and long. The blooms are not large, but recurved pink blend shells with darker pink stippling above a green throat. Its garden name was "Pink Towers". Fertile both ways. I am using it to bring pink colors into the tall cultivars. It was registered when I knew it would be an introduction, but it didn't get lined out for introduction until this year, because it blooms so late in the season.

(Clement, 2007)  38"  MLa  7.5" dormant, diploid. Tremendous branching and budcount on this black with a green throat.  Good sun resistance.

(Murphy 2013) 32” M 7” Dor Dip Ext UF Cascade Introduced because of excellent plant habit, pure red color, and extremely green throat. The green throat dominates the bloom, fading to chartreuse near the edges, then melding into clear, bright red. Sunfast to about 95 here, with 2 branches and 20 buds. Highly fertile both ways, blooming for about 4 to 5 weeks here. Fast growing. Out of ROSE F KENNEDY by a Snooks Harville Seedling with excellent color.

Murphy, 07 - 51" Late 7" dor.dip. Very tall purple with dark purple eye, 5-way branching

Quite tall, and just under the wire for very tall. Gorgeous purple, with lighter purple sepals, and purple eye, with yellow and green throat. Once established, this plant is a forest of scapes and branches. It has 5 way branching, and 38 buds, on very sturdy scapes. Vigorous, fast grower out of GREY WITCH by HELGA BJORNERUD BURKEY. Fertile. Excellent parent for branching and bud count.

(Reed, 2013)   38”  M  6”  dormant diploid, Unusual Form spatulate.

Heading upstream into pattern breeding, this one is a complex combination of lavender, purple, and near-white, that fades from a subtle pattern to a more distinct pattern in hot weather.  It has 3 branches and 15 buds, and is a vigorous grower.  It is pod and pollen fertile.  The parents are Yazoo Wild Violet and Casey’s Curls, combining purple and red/orange in fun ways!

Lambert, '66 - 30" M 4.5" dor.dip. Rosy-Lavender bitone, striped effect

(Reed, 09) 40" M 8" dormant, diploid, ext.

Pale, tall, and stunning, this narrow-formed, ruffled daylily is a "blonde-pink" with a wine purple band on the petals. It has excellent 3 and 4 -way branching, with a good bud count of at least 20. Its garden nickname was "Blond Architecture" because of the good scapes. Not narrow enough to be a spider, it is a large, open, exotic star. Blooms into the mid-late season.
