Huge 9 1/2 "hot" rose-pink blooms have a lighter rose pink Munson type watermark and a fine white edge.

Easily the most photographed daylily in my garden as the shape and presentation of this daylily is a delight to see. MACON MONEY is a pink bitone unusual form with lighter pink sepals displaying a pencil patterned halo. Sepals twist and curl creating gracefully detailed flowers. This is no "plain Jane" daylily and holds great potential for hybridizers with its bitone look and interesting sepal pattern in a pleasing color of clean, clear pink. Tall, straight 40" scapes with 3-way branching display the huge 9 1/2 to 10" blooms to perfection. Scapes average 16 buds and dole out uncrowded blooms over a long period starting midseason and blooming well into the late season. From a cross of GIRLS CLUB X ROSES FOR DALLAS it is proving to be pod difficult, but it has been a most used pollen producing intricate bitone seedlings with both cascade and crispate forms and patterning in pinks....a color neglected by those hybridizing for patterns and late season color. Clarity of color and hybridizing potential is outstanding.

MAMA'S LITTLE PILLS comes from my small-flowered, tetraploid sculpted-cristate program and is a cross of PANIC IN PRESCHOOL X TET HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE. While it missed my goal of having sculpted cristate tissue, the genetics are "in there" and the plant so exceptional, I had to introduce this 7" diamond dusted peachy pink self with its strongly curled and twisting sepals with a splash of emerald on the backside! Blooms have a heavy, waxy, rain-proof substance. The scape height is 32" with ideal 4- and 5-way branching that averages 30 buds. I've recorded as many as 39 buds and it reblooms, too, so it produces a LOT of flowers in the early to midseason and beyond. It is easily fertile both ways with impeccable foliage and hardy, semi-evergreen plant habit offering lots of genetic potential for the hybridizer as well as a unique garden plant.

Clumps up quickly for a spectacular display that goes on and on. Tetraploid.

MARIAVILLE (pronounced MARIAH-VILLE) is home to Maine hybridizer, Rob Laffin, who likes tall, well-branched daylilies with bold colors and hardy plant habits. Rob gave me this seedling several years ago saying he doesn’t like pastel colors but thought I might want to make a few crosses with my related lines because of its parentage: AL’S PEACH TOWER X ((JOE THE PLUMBER X (DANGLING PARTICIPLE X ARABELLA PEARL)). The Todd introduction ARABELLA PEARL is a cross of WHITE EYES PINK DRAGON X my own HIGH WATERMARK so I have lots of related seedlings growing in my garden in addition to my introduction of the Goldner daylily, AL’S PEACH TOWER. Thanks, Rob, for letting me add this beauty to my spring lineup!

MARVELOUS MERRY GREY (Davisson-J 20) I became interested in hybridizing for gray daylilies after attending a camellia show and seeing the unique camellias being hybridized in shades of clear light gray and smoky charcoal gray enhanced by pink edges and veining, yellow edges and veining, ...oh my! Seems nobody shared my enthusiasm including one negative person from New Joisey (you KNOW who you are!) who said NOBODY would buy a daylily the color of concrete. We shall see who likes gray!
