It's that time of year again at RavenCroft Cottage, where a new introduction is offered with a $2.00 opening bid, so everyone has a chance to win. This 2015 intro is from my new Woodlands series of spideries. Enjoy... 

Woodlands Scarlet Ibis

          The Woodlands series, of spider & unique form daylilies, presents the gardener & landscaper with graceful blooms. Suitable for any garden, urban or cottage, the Woodlands series is perfect for naturalizing any setting. The line is out of Arlow Stouts' 1953 introduction, Poinsettia. Those who are familiar with Poinsettia know of it’s fabulous candelabra branching, which it readily passes on to it’s offspring. 

          Woodlands Scarlet Ibis captures the red-orange hot coloring of it’s pod parent, Poinsettia, on a more elongated, open, reflexing form. The color holds very well in extreme heat & rain. Spider ratio is 4:1. The bright red-orange color is accented with a prominent creamy yellow mid rib, emanating from it’s bright yellow throat. There is a trace of a darker chevron band above the throat on the petals. Like it’s other Woodland’s cousins, this cultivar is clearly a standout with a strong garden presence. Scapes are tall, strong & well branched, with an average bud count of 33.

A word about the photos. If they appear fuzzy, it's because I had to reduce them to more than half their size to meet the upload criteria for the site.  Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause in the presentation.                        

Good luck with your bidding!
