POD PARENT DESCRIPTION:
*QUOTING HEMINGWAY (Pierce G.) 3195-A (Bluegrass Shadows x Sdlg) SEV, EE, 40” tall, 7.5” flower, 7 way branching, 55-60 buds Multi Rebloom/Everbloomer.
Bluegrass Shadows has been a tremendous parent for me and I got use her again heavily this year. QUOTING HEMMINGWAY is thus far one of my best daylilies for breeding. The very wide ruffled white to yellow/white edge is absolutely amazing. There is a large bluish/silver watermark that is quite refreshing and this bluish color sparkles around the petals inside the big ruffles. The thick edge reminds me of sparkling clouds and the whole impression is of a holiday in Key West, hence the name – QUOTING HEMMINGWAY. This flower absolutely wows me and blooms nonstop. A strong and easy grower I hope you enjoy growing QUOTING HEMMINGWAY as much as I have. I will continue to use this daylily for years to come. Fertile both ways. Very Limited.

Benjamin Andrew is one of the finest daylilies we have produced. The rich burgundy color and large gold edge make for a beautiful flower. Other great attributes include minimal blemishes, pod and pollen fertility, rebloom in our climate. The parents of Benjamin Andrew include our great purple breeder – Lydia’s Cloth which contributes clear color and a lack of blemishes. The big gold edge is likely due to our fabulous Harold Steen. We are finding Benjamin Andrew to be a fine parent – passing on the big gold edge and clear colors. It is easily fertile both ways!
Benjamin Andrew was delayed for introduction as it is slow to increase but we think this trait is great for gardeners as this flower does not need to be divided as often. This unique flower is named for our grandson and is as special as he is. Very limited and will be much sought after.
