SIMPLE MAN*

HOMPLACE HOT SHOT*

( C. Dye ) Parentage (Homeplace Bull’s Eye X Homeplace Cherry Face ) I waited a long time to introduce something from HBE because I knew it needed to be a huge improvement and those come slowly. I was never satisfied with the results of line breeding HBE. Many disappointing generations later and after much thought I outcrossed to my most intensely colored cultivar HCF, and was able to get a saturated color that is hard to photograph with my limited skills. Along with marvelous color came a nice 5" round ruffled form, nice multiple branching and best of all - 2 SCAPES PER FAN! That edge is stellar too. I am proud to offer this semi - evergreen to you……………$125.00 DF

BETTY SMITH

(K. Dye ‘10 ) This diploid has a wingspan of 12” to 13” but twists and curls to a  10” to 11” naturally standing Unusual Form crispate that starts the day as a pale creamy  yellow and brightens to mostly white with tons of green in the center. It has 3 to 4 branches and 18 buds. Scapes are 32” and quite sturdy and hold the monster sized blooms well. Selected by spider lover and longtime daylily grower Betty Smith as her namesake, BETTY SMITH often meets both spider and UF criteria but is registered as a UF. This is sure to be a sell out.

BRIDEZILLA

( K. Dye ‘10 ) This LATE blooming unruly non- conforming girl reminded us of a woman on edge constantly changing her mind. Our peak season here is in June and this one starts blooming in July. The color of this 9” flower is near white and the sepals often throw tantrums looking sharp or curled depending on its mood. She grows 32” tall and has about 20 buds. (I TOLD YOU SO X WORLD CLASS ODDITY)... $35.00

CUTE IN CURLS

(K. Dye ‘10 ) This curly diploid could very well be a glimpse into the dual forms of spidery bagels! Bagel and spider lovers beware - your world is changing. It starts out with an 11” wingspan and begins to twist and curl into a 7” unusual form and 4 to 5 way branching. Then as the season progresses the curls get tighter and the flowers become very round showing mostly the green throat on the face. It is lovely at all times. It is a semi evergreen to dormant budbuilder that sports  20 buds on 45” scapes. Blue violet ( due to Childs pedigree in background) with lots of green. (I TOLD YOU SO X WORLD CLASS ODDITY)... $50.00

DOVE DIVINE*

(C. Dye ‘10 ) Just like Noah felt when God sent the branch in the dove’s beak to give him a sign that the flood was over, this flower put a grateful smile on my face when I saw it. I was quite surprised that such a nice 7” near white could come from the breeding of 2 bluish colors. DD is 28” tall with 3 to 4 branches and is proof that God loves us and wants us to have much beauty in our lives. It has 15 buds and is semi evergreen. ( DYLAN DYE X MILDRED MITCHELL)... $60.00

GONE GREEN

( K. Dye ‘10 ) We could have registered 30 from this magical cross but chose 4 or 5 that had something different to offer. GONE GREEN was by far the greenest. If this one had not twisted so much it would have been a dual classification of both spider and unusual form but the 10” flower can twist into an 8” bloom with 3 to 4 branches.  It is registered as a 28” tall  UF with 15 buds. Semi - evergreen. (SKINWALKER X ROLLING LIKE A RIVER)... SOLD OUT

GREEN EDGE AND HAM*

(C. Dye ‘10 ) This lilac pink 5” flower adds dormancy to the genetic lines of green edges. It is a seedling X seedling cross that has 3 to 4 branches and 15 buds on a 30” scape. It is also a mid to late season bloomer which also adds to its worthiness. While green edges are becoming more commonplace, it is nice to have a dormant one to add to the evergreen mix... SOLD OUT

LEFT BEHIND

(K. Dye ‘10 ) The very clear purple color of this diploid and its huge 9” flowers  could not be overlooked as a valuable garden specimen. Each fan produced 2 scapes each with a 32” height and 15 buds.  It had 4 way branching and the upward facing blooms really showed off the large watermark in the center. The name reminds followers of Christ where they WON’T be when the time comes. (I TOLD YOU SO X WORLD CLASS ODDITY)... $35.00

ROSY WITH ATTITUDE

( K Dye ‘10 ) Every once in a while a flower comes along that makes you glad you did not quit when the going was tough. RWA is that flower for us. This 10 “ rosy  twisting curling crispate is an unusual form diva. Not content to show off 20 enormous blooms on its DORMANT BUDBUILDING 38” scape, it is also fragrant. The huge white watermark is second only to the peridot green throat that holds most of the day. Destined for conversion, this diploid came from a cross of two great daylilies and one determined man to go his own way. I am not sure if Ken can top this but it will be fun to watch and see. (I TOLD YOU SO X WORLD CLASS ODDITY)...double fans... $75.00

WAITING ON A WOMAN

(K. Dye ‘10 name pending ) This 8” yellow LATE bloomer swept us away with its 4 to 5 branches and 25 buds waiting until past peak here to show off. WOAW is a very stately light lemon yellow  diploid early morning opener with a very nice green eyezone/throat. At 40” tall,  WAITING ON A WOMAN is dedicated to all those men who spend way too much time in the car with the engine running. God bless you. (SKINWALKER X ROLLING LIKE A RIVER )... $60.00 SOLD OUT

HOMEPLACE DEBUTANTE *

( C. Dye 09 ) This tet beauty queen has perfect bagel form with rounded to blunt sepals and triple edges on the heavily ruffled petals. Base color is lavender with pink undertones.

SUE GAMBLE *

( C. Dye 09 ) Honoring a ‘spunky’ Piedmont gal, this flower will not be overlooked. It is a full sib to H DEBUTANTE but is taller and larger at 6” and has a different shape. It grows 28” tall and the blue in the eyezone is carried onto the edge and into some veining on the flower face. The sepals will often flare out instead of recurving. A vigorous grower and fertile as well. Nicely branched and blooming over a long period of time……SOLD OUT
