A LITTLE CURIOUS

Display Only

(Kennedy-J. 2022) 31" DIP 3.5" DOR, UF-Spatulate - Purple bitone with darker purple band above green to yellow throat that radiates into thin midribs, cream edging, sepals frequently have purple streaks, lime green foliage.
Pod and pollen fertile. 22/4. (Little Ricky x Purple Grasshopper)

Hybridizer’s Notes
This was the smallest and most unusual of the seedlings from
a cross of Pat Cochenour's 'Little Ricky' with Ned Roberts 'Purple Grasshopper'. As a bitone with sepals that are frequently streaked or striped, it always attracts attention in the garden. Pat Cochenour kept lists of potential daylily names, and 'A Little Curious' was one of them. It seemed a very fitting name for this daylily!

BLACKBERRY PICKING WITH JAMES

Display Only

(Kennedy-J., 2021)
Dip M Re 38" 5.75" DOR, Fragrant
4 branches, 18 buds
Unusual Form Cascade

Blackberry wine red with darker halo and white midribs
above green to mango veined throat.
Pod and pollen fertile.

(Tutti Frutti Curls X Just Jessie)

Named in memory of my father, James Brown, who told many funny stories about picking blackberries as a boy in Schuyler, Virginia. The color of this daylily brings back memories of fresh blackberry cobblers and homemade blackberry wine. The white buds and midribs really stand out against the wine red color, and rebloom gives an extended bloom season. A sibling to Margaret's Curls, it was selected from a cross that produced a wide array of colors, all tall and fragrant.

BLAME IT ON TIM

Display Only

(Kennedy-J., 2020)
Dip M 28" 4.5" SEV
4 branches, 22 buds
Strawberry red with cream midribs above a vivid green to yellow throat, darker
red halo on petals, and cream edging on sepals.
Pod and pollen fertile.
(Halloween Green x Fried Green Tomatoes)

Hybridizer’s Notes
A cross of two daylilies from the program of my friend and hybridizing mentor, Tim Herrington. The name is intended to honor his influence with a little humor. I wasn't sure if I would get orange or red by crossing 'Halloween Green' and 'Fried Green Tomatoes', but I hoped to get a green throat and the good branching that are prevalent to Herrington daylilies. The resulting rich strawberry red has very smoothly finished petals with a subtle halo that accentuates the green throat and cream midribs, making it very showy in the garden.

BOOYAH

Display Only

(Kennedy-J., 2021)
Dip ML 35" 5.75" DOR
4 branches, 14 buds
Unusual Form Cascade

Yellow apricot blend with extended vivid green
throat loosely ruffled petals and recessed midribs.
Pod and pollen fertile.

(Practically Pistachio x Arno's Bow Tie)

Hybridizer’s Notes
A continuation of Pat's hybridizing for green, I can imagine her exclaiming 'Booyah' when she saw the very green throat, on this daylily. Since the petals and sepals roll up and twist, the actual bloom diameter is about 9" when the segments are stretched out. Garden visitors are drawn to its vivid green throat and charming bloom presentation.
