Clark Gable
(Kirchhoff 2006) *
{[(Big Peach Mama x Tetra Siloam Double Classic) x Seedling] X Margaret Tucker x Seedling)}
28” E Re Ex Sev 6”. Mother Nature outdoes herself with this one. The flower is an intensely saturated, bright persimmon orange self with splashes of pink infusion, especially on the sepals. The color is clear with great carrying power. An EMO, the sublime, sculptural form is petaloid style with ruffles, loops and tentacles. Fine color fastness, smooth finish and great consistency are its hallmark. Recurrent, well-branched scapes. Pollen has yielded phenomenal seedlings from orange – coral-rose. Pods are moderately reluctant. 99% double.
Seller's Notes: this is my all time favorite double daylily! I love the glowing orange self, but the best part is the fullness and rufflyness of this double. It just get fuller and fuller as the season goes on, even though it's full as most doubles from the get go! It's just one of the best flowers introduced in my opinion. It grows well, and the flower power is out of this world. I didn't even like doubles when I first got into daylilies... they'd look deformed to me; a few scant petaloids in the center. Yeck! But Clark Gable is a game changer. This is one luscious flower. It's a true classic. If all doubles looked this full and carnationlike, I'd grow almost nothing but doubles! Just stunning...
---Please read all my personal rules and ramblings before bidding.
----We will start shipping the first week of September and continue through the middle of October.
--- All items won between May 2017 through September 2017 will qualify for combined shipping. If you have a certain time frame that you would like your lily delivered, please include that shipping time frame with your payment. We will do our best to accommodate your preferred shipping dates. If you don’t include a preferred shipping time, we will assume that it is ok to send your shipment anytime during those six weeks (Sep-mid Oct).
---I know fan size is an important quality when purchasing daylilies. All our different daylilies grow very differently. Some varieties do become very large, but others make smaller fans. You can see from our feedback that we have happy customers, and we like to keep it that way.
---We will ship to all 50 states, however, please note that for California, Washington, New Mexico, Oregon, Alaska and Arizona the shipping and handling will be $20.00 with a $3.00 S&H for each additional item won.
---Please include your username with all your payments and correspondence. So we’ll know who you are ;)
---Georgia Residents please add 7% sales tax to your winning bid (shipping isn’t sales taxed)
---Please allow at least one week for us to respond to any messages or correspondence. Daylilies are just a small portion of our week and we usually only list new lilies and respond to messages once a week. As you know, life can get busy with jobs and family, so we devote only one day a week to listing lilies and answering messages. Thanks for your understanding!
---Once you purchase your first lily from us (this season) we write your shipping address down. If you change your address before the shipping period, please drop us a message on the Lily Auction, to let us know your new address. Once we receive your new address we’ll write it down and send you a confirmation message on the message board. If you don’t receive the confirmation message, we did not receive your notice of address change. And we can’t be responsible for shipping to a different address other than the address that was listed the first time you won an auction from us this season unless you let us know.
----We guarantee your happiness. If you are unsatisfied for any reason, please feel free to return the package, the next day after receiving it. We just ask that you send it back the following day, so that the daylilies can be returned before they croak. They are daylilies, so we don’t want them pushing up daisies ;). (If you’ll soak the lilies in water up to their crown over night, so that when they are returned they will have rehydrated to some degree, we’d really appreciate that). Once we receive the lilies, you’ll receive a full refund.
---Payments are due within 2 weeks after the auction close. For those of you who wish to keep bidding on our auctions and would rather write as few checks as possible, please send me an email and let me know that you are still wishing to bid on other items and that you would like to send one payment. However, payments are still due within one month (30 days) after the close of your last unpaid auction. Sellers only have a limited time to report non-payment to the Lily Auction and have their fees refunded.
---We are very glad that you chose to look at our auction items and wish you a warm thank you! We are blessed and honored to get to know so many wonderful people over the years.
