The following daylilies are ML to La to VL blooming varieties in the northeastern quarter of the U.S.
AUDACITY BOUND (Stamile, '87) Tetraploid, registered as ML, dormant, 30" tall; flower 8" golden yellow self. Showing 20 buds on tall scapes (Aug., 1995).
LATE AGAIN (Stamile, '91) Tetraploid, registered as 26" tall, La, dormant; flower 4.75" pink bitone.
HARVEST HUE (Millikan, '81) Tetraploid, 23" tall, Semi-Evergreen (SE); flower 5.5" copper-red blend. Scapes showing 15 - 20 buds on third-year plant.
TAHITIAN SUNRISE (Bearce, '90) Tetraploid, 30" tall, Semi-Evergreen; flower 5" scarlet self. Registered as La, but blooming as VL. The flower shown is a polytepal form, many of which showed up in the garden during this hot 1995 summer, but TAHITIAN SUNRISE produced very few of these polytepal blossoms this year.
SWEET BUTTER CREAM (Bearce, '90) Tetraploid, 32" tall, Semi-Evergreen; flower 5" bright yellow self. Registered as La.
The flowers are very attractive, but the numbers will be astounding: I counted 45 buds on one scape! Two single fans planted in the Spring of 1994 have become three fans each by Summer, 1995.
