BLUE RIVIERA (FRONT COVER) -- (Laws of Illusion) x (Cobalt Rings x Velvet Rainbow) Sev. 6-7”fl. 30” sc. M 20 buds. Cold
hardy, excellent rust tolerance, fertile both ways. The flowers are an orchid colored self with a chartreuse throat and green heart. The
eye is blue violet with a hairline indigo mascara band that continues as a picotee around the edge of the wide petals and down the midrib. Then it gets really interesting: a striking yellow green cerrated second edge outlines the petals. Plus ‘Blue Riviera’ sports large
flowers, bigger than anything we have introduced so far in this color range. This important variety marks another big stride forward in
our blue daylily breeding program, adding size and advanced edging. Truly a “Living Work of Art”. $200
COUNTRY WALTZ -- (Just Fabulous x Ivan Attitude) Sev.
6-7” fl. 32” sc. E. 20 buds. Cold hardy, good rust tolerance,
fertile both ways. Classic yet modern is a fitting description of
this artful creature. A very large, black eye boldly sets above
a green heart on a light chiffon full form self. The edge of the
eye breaks into dark magenta, copied on the sepals and carried
around the edge as a narrow yet distinct black picotee. We
always knew ‘Just Fabulous’ would give us great new varieties
and this ringer is a great example. It truly carves out a strong
niche in the spring as a very early bloomer on tall scapes with
large flowers. This is a great breeder giving us ever-bolder
eyes across a range of self colors and introducing earliness to
this class. $175
NOVEL INSIGHT -- (Spacecoast Seashells x Blissful
Blackberry Pie) x (Blissful Blackberry Pie x Catcher In The
Eye) Sev. 4-5” fl. 33” sc. M 22 buds. Cold hardy, good rust
tolerance, fertile both ways, reblooms. The blooms of this variety
showcase a lush violet self with a large and distinctive mother-ofpearl applique throat bordered by a subtle purple eye pattern that
continues around a wavy edge. Our applique program seeks to
live up to the definition, that is “painted on”, and here we see a
good example of that trait. Tall, branched, high bud count scapes
provide a sturdy structure for fine flora. $125
BEST BET -- (Intricate By Design x Ocean Wild) x (Blue
Crush) Sev. 5” fl. 20” sc. M 23 buds. Cold hardy, excellent
rust tolerance, fertile both ways, reblooms. The blossoms of
this variety are a misty rose self with a large lawngreen throat.
The pattern eye is slate blue surrounded by a purple mascara
band. The eye continues around the petal edges as a matching
picotee, surrounded by a bright yellow edge. We have worked
hard to put great edges on our pattern daylilies and ‘Best Bet’
is a good example of this goal. The pressing, clear colors with
striking edges is deeply ingrained into our lines, thanks in part
to this cultivar and offspring. A real winner and great addition
to any serious collection. $125
