Daylily Sonic Duck

By Gossard 2006

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.

Music Monkey has a big (7 inch) bright tangerine orange, unusual form, crispate bloom. It twists and curls differently every time and has a ruffled edge and a red eye and a thin red edge over an orange eyezone that is just slightly lighter than the petals. It is a sturdy, 31 inch tall dormant tetraploid with 15 buds on one branch. It is a parent to my other favorite monkey…Pinewood Monkey Business.

This gorgeous unusual form, crispate is listed as brown with a brown eyezone however I would say that is more of a copper/orange with a subtle darker eyezone. It’s most impressive feature is it’s huge gold star shaped center. I’d say it covers at least half of the 7.25 inch bloom. The flower sometimes twists but often recurves, often to the point that you only see the orange copper from the side. The plant is 42 inches tall and blooms in the mid to late season. It is a semi-evergreen, diploid.

Bradley is a handsome daylily that has a mauve background brushed with purple streaks on the petals. The purple halo is star shaped as is the large green throat.The black stamens really stand out against that bright throat. He is 38 inches tall with a 7 inch, unusual form bloom that cascades. This mid-season blooming semi-evergreen diploid is a little fragrant.

Baptisia Australis – Blue Indigo

By

On December 7, 2024

In Uncategorized

This tough, long-lived native perennial makes a statement as an anchor plant or a hedge. Give it space as it grows to 3-4 feet and just as wide.  Wild blue indigo is the common name and it is best known as a dye plant.  It is impressive in bloom with its large spires of blue, pea like flowers.  The blue green foliage and black seed pods are also attractive. There are many hybrids available but this is the native species. Blue Baptisia will easily cross with other species. Give them full sun, and they are not picky about soil and are also drought tolerant due to a very deep root system.  Because of the deep roots they don’t transplant well.  You can cut back the foliage after bloom to make them less likely to sprawl. A member of the legume family they will not need added fertilizer because they fix nitrogen. Baptisia are loved by butterflies.

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.

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.
