Yellow with a stark, bright red eye, orange throat, green heart. The taller sibling of YOU KNOW WHO, blooms late August, and September here, sometimes into October.

(Reed, 2011)  38”  M  8”   dormant, diploid, Spider

       “New Tall Cherry” was the garden name of this one, and cherry-rose describes the color.  Almost rose-red in the morning, fading to pretty rose pink after a very hot day;  still blooming at the end of July, it has a long season of bloom.  It measures as a true spider (4.8:1),  but it is also a graceful, tailored, smooth cascade.  It has a cream-gold to green throat and cream midribs.  2-way branching, 15-16 buds.  It is named after a waterfall in the Blue Ridge.  Parentage unknown.                                              

Reed, 1999 - 34" M 7" dor.dip. Spider. Purple with white rib, cream lemon tht., recurved. HM

Murphy, 05 - 59" La 6" dor.dip. Reblooms. Every scape is crooked or loops. Golden orange, with red eye. Doubles about 30% to 50% of the time, with good conditions.

Completely distinctive, with 59" scapes, every one with a crook, bend, or even loop. You read that correctly. Nothing like it in your garden! Late bloom and good color, with green throat, complete the package. Scapes do lean, and twist, but don't fall, with 15 buds, and 2 branches. Fertile, parents unknown.

This clear lavender is the cleanest colored daylily that I have introduced. It has a green and white throat, and good 3-way branching with 25 buds. Fragrant and fertile, out of MARGO REED INDEED by NORTH WIND DANCER. It is completely sunfast here.Double fans.

Reed, 2003 - 36" M 8" dor.dip. UF Light pink with light rose eye - cascade, exotic. Very clear color, long blooming, one of Margo's favorites.

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!

(Reed, 2013)   40”  M  7.5”   dormant, diploid.  

This one has narrow white, ruffled blooms like snowflakes on tall scapes.  Slightly pink cast in the morning gives way to white on the blooms.  Not famous for its branching, it has an adequate bud count of 12.  The bloom is an open, spokes-of-a-wheel or star form.  Unusual Form spatulate.  Out of Secretary Sand x North Wind Dancer.  Pod and pollen fertile.
