Indian Bayou Daylilies is located in the heart of the Mississippi Delta,
Indianola, Mississippi, home of blues legend, B.B. King. Surrounded by
cotton fields, my daylilies grow in the rich Delta soil at the base of
Huckabee Hill, an ancient Indian Mound built along side Indian Bayou.
Since 1996, I have hybridized large-flowered tetraploid daylilies using
the newest, finest cultivars of Northern and Southern hybridizers along with
my own selected seedlings. For the past four seasons, I have incorporated
several of the top converted diploids into my breeding program. Seedlings
are field planted and grown with no protection resulting in hardy plants. As a plant pathogist, I use new effective fungicides for rust prevention.
For 2005, pending AHS registration, I present several of my proven
seedlings along with images of promising seedlings for future introduction.
If these seedlings interest you, get in touch with me and I'll be glad to
answer questions, reserve one for you, or update you on their release
status.
I welcome visitors during bloom season, but please call or e-mail first
to set up a tour.

RANDY RANDALL tet (Lucky Dragon x Tet (Delta Belle x Mary Ethel Anderson) 40 in. EMRe SEv 4 ½” 15 buds. Adding new genes to the Tet pool, this tall, red-edged glowing, golden flower covered by a vibrant orange red eye can be seen from anywhere in the garden. Pollen was from a seed conversion by Kevin Vaughn (Delta Belle is a Siloam Apple Blossom offspring). Lots of proliferations. Named after my good friend, Planters Bank President, Randy Randall, who hasn’t batted an eye (yet!) when told the cost of my plant acquisitions! Fertile.
