The lovely ladies of summer!
By Wild 1983
Family ties is a rich dark red to Burgundy; it depends on the light. It has a gold/green throat rimmed in white that seems to glow sometimes. I love the name and keep it in the bed with plants that have the family names. It’s a dormant diploid that is 18 inches tall with a 5 inch bloom.

Unregistered Seedling By Matel 2024
This daylily is a seedling of Penny’s Worth. It is a very small dormant diploid, much like it’s parent; 12” tall with 2 inch flowers. So, it is a little larger than Pennys Worth at 10” and 1.5” flowers but still much smaller than a Stella, and I think a better bloomer. The flowers are a little lighter yellow. They start early or even extra early and rebloom reliably even in the north. They are often the last thing still blooming here. The foliage is very fine and grassy.

Unregistered seedling – Grant/Matel 2011
Grant a Wish was given to me to grow out as a seedling – Seedling LG2011#8. This is a 34 inch tall semi-evergreen tetraploid that has show stopping large blooms. The spatulate, unusual form flowers are 8 inches across and are such an interesting peachy pink color. I’ll call it baby pink but it looks more peach in twilight. There is a lighter pink halo and prominent mid-rib. The large throat is deep green inside turning pale yellow just before the halo starts. There is a slight ruffled or toothy edge and a thin white or light pink edge. They seem even bigger because they hold their petals out wide instead of curling.

It is a sturdy dormant, tetraploid that is 36 inches tall with a 6 inch bloom and 15 buds on 3 branches. The parentage is not known. This plant will be a double fan.

Sonic Duck is a very tall (39 inch) dormant, tetraploid that has strong scapes to hold up the 8.5 inch, fragrant, pale yellow flowers. An early mid-season rebloomer it is classified as unusual form with blossoms that are crispate and cascading. It has a bright red eye zone and a wide green throat. On the petals the eye zone is wide and cut by the yellow mid rib, but on the sepals it is a fine line giving the flowers an interesting star like appearance. 4 to 5 way branching with 22 to 38 buds means that this one really puts on a show. It is aptly named as the color is exactly that of a baby duck. Another bonus is foliage that always looks nice. This plant assumes a polymerous form more often than other plants (at least for me), meaning that may have extra sepals of petals.

This slightly ruffled red/purple daylily has a large gold throat. It is 24 inches tall with a 4.5 inch bloom. The color is a nice rosy red/purple color with a slightly darker halo and some times gets a little tuft in the middle like it wants to double but I have not seen it fully double. It 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 plant.

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.
