Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Cantique')

Hybridizer was actually Wilma Bryant. She was one of the triumvirate of hybridizers who helped The Central Oklahoma Hemerocalis Society mature into an organization that could host a National Convention.

There were many others who worked tirelessly of course and if I tried to list them all I would slight too many but Wilma, Wilma Marley, and Peggy Estes were the standard bearers from my point of view..

THis is one of my very first daylily! It is very pretty pink in some years. SOme other years, the pink color is a bit washed out. The color and substance last well through the day. Its foliage is not attractive.

I received 2 fans from Karen (kousa) in April 2016. It bloomed for the for first time in May 2017. The foliage looked great! No rust, which is a plus for me!

Here is a photo of the stats:

And in this photo, you can see the sunlight behind it showing the deeper colors:


It produced a number of blooms of which I used both pollen and pod to produce a few seeds.
