Dormant: 32 inches tall. Another Red with yellow center. This sometimes can resemble others like Ruby Spider or Red Headed Hussy. Regardless, it's still very nice.

Summer of 2018: Totally gorgeous. Looks the same each day. I couldn't be happier with it. This is one of my 'new' favorites!

Bloomed for the first time in 2018. It was what I hoped it would be. Can't wait to see it in 2019.

This one reminds me of a watercolor. First time blooming in 2017. It is very delicate looking - but bloomed a lot in the summer of 2018 which was a season with rain almost every day. I'm not happy where I have it & want to move it to be with similar colors. It's next to Atomic Inferno currently & would just stand out more with whites, yellows or darker purples.

Semi-evergreen: 30 inches. Bloomed first for me in 2017. I cannot say enough about this beautiful DL. I took tons of photos of it. Oh my gosh. Love it. So happy with it. Highly recommend. Got it from Daniel Kline.

Year after year this one never fails to stop me in my tracks. It's an oldie but goodie. Hybridized by Copenhaver & introduced in 1989, I'm so glad it's in my garden.

This one I got from Jack Church & it's one of my favorites. It makes for great photographs, especially if there is a dark shadow behind. I've had this one for about 4 yrs.

This bloomed first time in 2017 and is now on my Top Ten list as it's so beautiful. The colors are just striking & I love it. It has not reached 50 inches yet. Maybe in 2019. We'll see.

I like tall ones. But regardless of height it's a beauty.

It didn't bloom last year - so I hope to see it in 2018.

YES, it did bloom & I love it just like I knew I would. Such bright cheerful color combinations.

SEMI-EVERGREEN

I love DL's that will sometimes throw a poly bloom. This one does it a lot. First time bloom was summer of 2018 & it was a surprise to me. I believe I got this as a gift & wasn't expecting it to be so unique and interesting. It's a definite keeper!!!

2021 - a no show this yr

2022: Got a couple of descent blooms from it - but definitely not as tall as it should be by now. No way was it 44 inches. Only about 2 feet. It did poly though.

Type: Dormant
Height: 36 inches

This plant was generously & lovingly named after me by my cousin Jack Church a hybridizer in Weston, OH. He owns Birdland Daylilies there and knows a heck of a lot about DL's.

He let me choose from several he had with no names & I loved this one & I chose right because it's very hardy & has many scapes & blooms each year.

Big bold blooms with contrasting colors. I'm so proud of this - quite an honor!!!

This one bloomed summer of 2017 for the first time. Did great in 2018 and I look forward to seeing it in 2019 too. Very pleased with this DL.

A cool tall DL. This bloomed for the first time in the summer of 2017 and looked just like it's photo that I've seen in other folks gardens.

It's June of 2018 and already it's the tallest one in the garden & looks promising for this year as well.

I love most all of her creations. I got this one from Lowell Verheul and boy was I surprised when it bloomed for the first time last summer (2017). The beauty of this DL is incredible!

Height: 39 inches tall.

This one really stands out in the garden due to its height and also the awesome color & pattern.

This is one I got from Blue Ridge Daylilies in the fall of 2016 & planted. It bloomed the following summer to my utter delight. I'm so so glad I have this one.

Season 2018 performed like a pro. So so stunning.

It says midseason to late bloomer. However, this one bloomed for the first time for me last year around the 20th of June. It was strong & I like the very dark purple.

In 2018 - it bloomed over & over again. I had moved it from it's first location in 2017 & it did a lot better. There's just something about this one that is very lovely. I wish I could describe it better. The photo showing on it's page does not do it justice.

I received this in the fall of 2016 and planted it - it did not bloom the following summer in 2017.

However I nursed it along & this summer 2018, it finally bloomed so I could see how truly stunning this is. I would definitely buy more now that I've laid eyes on it.
