I bought "Carol Jean" not only for myself, but some for my Father and sisters because it was my Mother's name.
I bought "Red Flat Fred" partly for the hybridizer, but also because my husband's name is Fred. It has turned out to be one of my favorite daylilies.
At one time, I was collecting plants with "family names", but only still have a couple of them. It was a fun idea, but I found that most of names were nicer than the plants. These days the plant has to impress me first.
I did buy "Pawprints On My Heart" last year after losing our pet. The plant description grabbed me and then the name closed the deal. ;)
Hybridizers description :
Lavender cream bi-color spider with chevron patterned eye and green throat
Several scapes in 2010 had over 55 buds. Has the highest bud count of any daylily I have ever grown. Passes on branching
and bud count and early bloom to its offspring. Fertile both ways. Vigorous----fast increaser. .Makes small-medium size plants. Has been tested in Zone 4. Choice! I can't say enough about this one.
Dedicated to all those wonderful pets that touch our hearts.
Can be used to breed earlies,bi-colors,spiders/UFO's,patterns or just to enhance bud count and branching.
