This daylily was acquired as a bonus at an auction with the Bad Buds (Bay Area Daylily). It is about 24 inches tall with a 4 inch bloom. It came from the daylily beds at the Green Bay Botanical Gardens obtained in the 1990’s. I kept it all these years because of the color which is a very clear purple with a darker purple eye band and a wide chartreuse eye. I don’t know what the MgPy means or who’s breeding program it came from.

This basic red daylily has a gold throat. It is 20 inches tall with a 4 inch bloom. It is a nice rich red color and is a dormant diploid that blooms mid-season. This poor little one was left in the field when it’s more impressive siblings were moved to the garden. So, I’d say that the most impressive thing about it is it’s resiliency. It has survived and flourished with zero care and surrounded by tall weeds. One tough little plant.

This miniature is a very fast grower and a good bloomer. I don’t have good documentation on it but I think the pollen parent may be Desert Princess. The color is unusual, very similar to desert princess. I would call it copper with a burgundy eye over a star shaped green throat. There are cream colored midribs and a slight ruffle. It is just 14” high with a 2.5 inch bloom. It’s a dormant, diploid and it blooms early with a brief rebloom. Will see if the rebloom improves as it ages.

The edges are often pinched and sculpted and it also has a thin purple eye over a star shaped green throat. It is just 12” high with a 2.5 inch bloom. It’s a dormant, diploid and it blooms mid-season.

This darling miniature is much like both of it’s parents; Little Missy and Desert Princess. It almost looks like the copper color of Desert Princess was thrown right over the purple Little Missy. There is a dark purple eye zone and a yellow throat. It is about 20 inches tall with a 3.5 inch bloom. It is a mid-season blooming dormant, diploid that grows fast and is a good bloomer.

This violet daylily has a very interesting rose colored eye that has streaks extending outward. The green throat has a white band surrounding it that also has the streaks going through it. There is also a white picotee edge with a slight ruffle. She is 28 inches tall with a 6 inch bloom. This daylily is an evergreen, tetraploid that blooms mid-season. No trouble with hardiness, but she does not grow fast in the north due to being evergreen.
