is a diamond dusted golden yellow. Petals are lightly ruffled and crimped
on this floriferous blooming clone. Petals are slightly overlapped
and the throat is green. Later blooming in cooler summers, it sometimes
waits till August to bloom, but will bloom in July if the summer is warm.

and floriferous, a season extender. Good increase. Bud count = 28.

CHEERFUL
THOUGHT - Sev.tet.EE.RE.25"5" [ESPERANZA X MAY SEVENTY-EIGHT] CHEERFUL
THOUGHT is a bright, lightly ruffled, floriferous, bold golden orange-yellow
self with a golden orange throat, which blooms about a week later than
H. Dumortieri here, providing abundant bloom at a time when few hems flower.
Blossoms open rather flat, are up-facing, and placed on strong stems with
4-way branching. Another advantage is that a second wave of scapes often
appears shortly after the first ones emerge, giving a longer bloom period.
Repeat bloom is even more reliable South of Pennsylvania. Rapid increase.
Good landscaper. Bud count = 21.......Fall Delivery......Double Fans.......$7.00
GODZILLA
- Dor.tet.M.36"8"(petals 1.8" sepals 1") [Ratio=3.2:1] [JADE BOWL X ORIENTAL
SUNRISE] Huge, spidery tetraploid, an orange-red with potential for breeding
tet spiders. The orange-red petals have yellow midribs and the heart of
the flower is deep green, turning to yellow in the throat, and the same
yellow color extends out one third of the way on the sepals, forming a
3 pointed star on them. Petals recurve only slightly on warm days, sepals
more so. Form is flatter on cooler days. This cultivar is very striking
and splashy in clump strength. Pollen fertile/sets pods when established.
Potential for breeding tet spider types.

KIRSTEN MY
LOVE - Dor.tet.RE.32"40",8"-9",[ORANGE BOUNTY X RAINBOW GOLD] KIRSTEN
MY LOVE is a big, bold, and splashy golden yellow flower, heavily
diamond dusted, and simply gorgeous in a clump. This huge, golden yellow
self is a showstopper with a green heart. The big plants are perfect for
accent planting, the back of the border, fence rows, or where height is
needed. Visitors gravitate to this cultivar. A second wave of scapes may
emerge 2-3 weeks later, giving a long period of bloom. Petals are piecrust
edged and recurve slightly, while sepals recurve a bit more. Sometimes
the petals will twist or pinch slightly, giving the highly attractive,
splashy look to their ruffled edges. This cultivar makes big fans.
It’s pollen fertile, but a reluctant pod parent. Fall delivery...Double

MY VALENTINE'S
SECRET - Dor.dip.M.28"6.5" [CHARLOTTE RHAME X APPARITION] The creamy
white-greenish-beige flowers sport a startling rosy purple eyezone. Petals
are lightly ruffled on big, commanding flowers of good substance. On cool
days, the flower opens flat and dramatic, while on warmer days, it will
recurve more. When flat, the eye is triangular with a hint of a heart about
it. (4-way branching)

STARMAN'S
JOURNEY - Dor.tet.ML.37"9" [ORANGE BOUNTY X RAINBOW GOLD] This tet
is a huge, bright yellow self that is bold and splashy. It makes big fans,
but is not a fast increaser. It has a green heart, light ruffling, and
is 3-way branched. An accent flower. This is a similar sib to KIRSTEN MY
LOVE.
SOLD OUT for 2005
SULTAN'S
EXPRESSION - Dormant.dip.M.25"5"-6" Extravagantly ruffled golden/orange-yellow
flowers bedeck this hem over a long bloom season. The substance is good,
having good resistance to rain damage. Petals and sepals are ruffled, both
recurving moderately. The throat is a pleasing deep green. The lovely flower
is fertile both ways and is 3-way branched. Parentage unknown. Flowers
are full, and somewhat triangular. Rapid increase. An excellent
landscaper.

LITTLE
RED SPIDER - Branham-Burkey,dor.dip.M.28"5" [Sdlg. X CRAWLEYCROW] This
dark ruby red, spidery flower with a green heart is a sparkling jewel
in the garden and a favorite. Its sterling qualities are its bright,
almost luminous sunfast color, and spidery charm. A luscious garden
subject, but infertile for me. Petals are slightly ruffled and recurve
slightly on a generally open form. It is a spidery gem with super
qualities, good increase, and occasional proliferation. Bud count = 15.
Fall delivery......DOUBLE FANS....$10..00
MAGNIFICENT
EYES - Branham-Burkey,dor.dip.LM. to L. here.26"5.75" [Sdlg. X SHADED
EYES] An exciting maroon eyezone accentuates the beauty of this clear,
light yellow flower with a green heart. The sepals recurve somewhat more
than the petals, giving a triangular appearance. Highly diamond dusted,
the petals overlap at the base and fold back against the sepals. There
is some proliferation on the 3-way branched scapes. Blossoms are spaced
so that the bloom season is fairly long. The flower opens early and well
where nights are not too cold. Increase is very rapid, making it an
excellent landscaper. Bud count = 22
