WE ARE NEARING THE END OF OUR AUCTIONS FOR THIS SEASON. A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE SUPPORTING OUR AUCTIONS. OUR LAST SHIPPING DATE FROM ALABAMA WILL BE 3/21. WE WILL RESUME SHIPMENTS FROM ILLINOIS THE WEEK OF 4/9.
Auction is for 5 seeds from the cross of WAVES OF JOY X CHARLOTTE'S DESIRE.
POD PARENT:
WAVES OF JOY (Dan Trimmer) Tetraploid (Dragonfly Dawn x Tetra Texas Kaleidscope) 37" E. Re. Ev. 7 1/4" Some times you just get lucky! From a cross of only two seedlings I bloomed the best patterned daylily I have seen to date. Waves of Joy is early, tall (37",) large (7 1/4",) 26 buds, easily pod fertile, and perhaps the finest parent I have ever used. Seedling after seedling was selected last summer. "Waves" is lavender blend with a lavender violet, and blue violet patterned eye oftentimes with white waves. The name comes from the lyrics from the Beatles song "Across the Universe" referring to a life well lived having "pools of sorrow" and "waves of joy." There is much joy in my life! A hybridizer friend said there were patterned daylilies before Waves of Joy and then there will be those after Waves Of Joy. Exceedingly limited.
POLLEN PARENT:
*CHARLOTTE’S DESIRE (Pierce G.) 3292-H (Venetian Pools x (Stenciled Infusion x Stenciled De Fresco)) TET, EV, EMre, 37” high, 6.25” flower, 6 way branching, 40 buds.
Now this is my kind of flower/pattern/daylily. This gorgeous pattern with full form wide petals that lay out flat and are ruffled and edged in dark Mulberry purple. CHARLOTTE’S DESIRE’s rich colors are patterned in bold chevron markings, which are repeated over and over. The contrast of the dark makings, light base and large green throat will stop you in your tracks. Fertile both ways. This is a pattern must have for 2017! You will love it.
OUR SEEDS WERE PRODUCED IN OUR GARDEN. WHILE WE RECOGNIZE THERE ARE SOME POSITIVE REASONS FOR GREENHOUSE PRODUCTION, WE LIKE TO KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT IS HARDY HERE IN ZONE 5. THIS IS A POSITIVE THAT EVEN MANY OF OUR FRIENDS ON THE GULF COAST VALUE. UNLESS OUR SEEDS HAVE TWO 2017 INTRODUCTIONS AS PARENTS, YOU KNOW THAT AT LEAST ONE PARENT CAN HANDLE COLD WEATHER.
