The lovely ladies of summer!
By L.K. Powell – 1983
This 33 inch tall dormant, tetraploid has a big, yellow, 9 inch flower. It is a mid-season bloomer that reblooms in the late season. It’s not registered as such but it does have a red blush on the ends of the petals that blends inwards, and has a bright green throat. The cinnamon blush can be darker or more pale and sometimes the petals curl back so much that you may not notice it unless you view it from the side.

A rich velvety red 3.5 inch flower is held atop a 30 inch scape. There is a diamond dusted sheen that has an almost purple hew that grows deeper towards the gold/green throat. This plant is a dormant, diploid that is a very good grower and blooms mid-season but then re-blooms until frost.

This creamy white spider/unusual form daylily twists and turns in all directions because it is both crispate, cascading and spatulate. It is a dormant, diploid that is 27 inches tall with a 7 inch bloom and bud count; 12 buds on 2 branches. It is a mid-season bloomer. The bright green throat draws the eye to it and then the rest of it makes the observer say “wow!” Because they have species H. Citrina in their background they will have characteristics like vigor, fragrance and a nocturnal opening. They will open during the night and then last the whole next day.

Look closely at this one to see it’s real beauty. It is an oldie but a goodie. At first it appears to be a bright fire engine red, 6.5 inch bloom with a gold throat but in the right light and when you get closer you will see the magenta veins and halo. This 30 inch dormant, diploid blooms mid-season and into the late season.

This one often gets comments from visitors as it is very distinct. It is a dark purple spider with large bright white midribs blending into a large star shaped throat that blends from cream to lemon yellow. Stamens the color of the petals set it off, and it usually has perfect form. It is 34 inches tall with a 7 inch bloom that has a spider ratio of 4:1. A dormant, diploid it holds it’s flowers into the night where the stars simply glow.

This stately, historic daylily is 66 inches tall and has a 3 inch trumpet shaped flower that is golden yellow with a rusty orange eye zone. It is a mid-season/late bloomer; one of the latest in my garden, and it also blooms into the night. A dormant, diploid, it is also supposed to be fragrant and it has nice st
rong stems to support bunches of little flowers dancing well above the near by plants.

This lovely statement plant has slender green grass-like leaves that add instant architecture to any garden. It blooms in mid-summer in-between the tall bearded iris and daylilies. Clean white, signals with yellow markings and a basal greenish cast, rose violet veins radiating from a deeper rose area surrounding the signals. Spectacular; also known as Japanese iris, its flowers have a distinctively flattened appearance. Spreads by rhizome; deer resistant and hardy to 0°F. Requires full sun and regular watering while blooming, prefers less water after flowering. Great at the ponds edge or even in standing spring water but does fine in standard garden soil if watered. Registered at 35 inches but will be shorter if dry and taller if very wet.

Vavoom is a bitone standard dwarf bearded iris that rea
lly stands out from the crowd. It blooms late for a dwarf. It has light yellow standards with a green tinge, bright canary yellow falls and a butter yellow beard. The standards are ruffled while the falls are smooth. It grows to about 14 inches for me and us a vigorous grower.
