This daylily was hybridized by my good Nova Scotia daylily buddy, Ed Kimball. I grew it in my garden for him for the past few years and it has done very well. During the ADS Region 4 summer garden tours it looked great and was a show stopper for many of the visitors. Since my last name is Banks and I live on Jeddore Harbour, he made a nod to me by naming it 'Banks of Jeddore'. As an interesting aside to this name, I am very involved with a men's choir here on the Eastern Shore of Nova Scotia (Coastal Voices Men's Choir). During the 2019 season we will be performing an arrangement by John Plant of a folksong based loosely on the melody of 'Farewell to Nova Scotia'. The name of the folk song is 'On the Banks of Jeddore'. Interestingly, it was collected in the Beauce region of Quebec. The daylily 'Banks of Jeddore' has been a hardy semi-evergreen in my garden. I live in a coastal region that often has cool foggy nights in the summer, nevertheless, the flower opens well most days. The scapes have 3 branches and up to 18 buds. The parentage is: Belle of Ashwood x Belle Cook. The flower is a beautiful pink with a gold edge and a green throat. $65 DF(Double fan)

This daylily is out of my registration 'Mary E. Banks' as the pod parent and 'Flying Trapeze' as the pollen parent. Both parents are very northern hardy daylilies and they bring those genetics into this offspring. As well, 'Flying Trapeze' continues to pass on unique designs in many of its offspring, which is the case with 'Bill Wilgenhof'. The flower opens well even after cool nights and is a dark rose pink flower with a chalky pink notched watermark and a green throat that brightens to yellow as the throat emerges outward on the petals. There is a bit of a white edge on the petals, especially on hotter days as the flower fades slightly over the course of the day. The plant has good branching which separates multiple blooms nicely when it forms a clump. The bud count of 18 is fairly high so it will give a fairly long season of bloom, often to the end of August or beyond in my garden. I am pleased to name this one after another Nova Scotian plant person.  Bill Wilgenhof and his wife Sharon Bryson, have run Willow Garden in Antigonish for many years and he was a founding member of the Antigonish Garden Club. He has always been willing to share his gardening knowledge over the years and he has done that for many of his 97 years! Over those years he has grown many seedlings from seeds that he obtained. This included many azaleas and rhododendrons but also a huge array of other garden plants, including daylilies! Often, these plants were shared with other gardeners. I am pleased to name this daylily after a person who was generous with sharing plants and his knowledge about gardening with other gardeners and aspiring gardeners. At 32" tall and 5.25" flowers it will show off nicely once established in the garden.                                       $45 DF (Double Fan)

This wonderful daylily is named to honour Brian Smith, the first major daylily grower in Nova Scotia selling to the general public. Brian has promoted daylilies for decades and he is an important founding member of the Nova Scotia Daylily Society. The flower is a dark regal purple, with heavy ruffling and mouse ears on the petals. The dark yellow colour emanating from the throat merges with the purple petals to form a chalky, blue, slate halo with purple/wine veins. The sepals have a thin, pencil-line cream edge. The petals have a creamy yellow heavily ruffled edge. A thinner violet edge separates the purple of the flower from the yellow outer edge. This is an outstanding plant in my garden. It is a hardy dormant and the flowers open well all of the time, the colour is sunfast and there is very little spottiness. It is a cross between 'Forever The Optimist' and 'Super Model'. It is a great addition to any garden. $40 Double Fan

This daylily was produced by crossing my 'Emerging Star' as the pod parent with pollen from 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. It has more of a spider look to it than its full sibling 'Joni Guptil'. However, it is registered as an Unusual Form daylily and has been an outstanding plant in my garden. It actually fits all 3 UF classifications as a Cascade, Spatulate, Crispate Unusual Form and that's why I included Trinity as part of the name. Of course it's star-like look inspired the word celestial and thus 'Celestial Trinity' seems fitting. This daylily has a lot of fantastic qualities that make it a superb garden plant. Most scapes have 5-6 way branching and over 20 buds. Now that's a lot of blooms. Adding this plant to your garden will give you a season of delight as it will bloom from 4-6 weeks as an established clump. A further rarity is that it blooms later in the season so when many other daylilies are winding down for the season it is performing really well! As a dormant, it is a very hardy plant and will come through the worst of winters. The flower is a dark rose pink with a slate halo with a wide lemon yellow throat with hints of green deep at the base of the throat. The yellow extends outward and lightens to near white on the raised and pinched midribs. For a really great plant that will add a sense of motion to your garden in a slight breeze, choose 'Celestial Trinity. Double Fan (DF) $55.00

This daylily has a stunningly beautiful clear-coloured dark rose pink flower with a large dark wine eye. It has gentle ruffles around the petals and to a lesser degree around the sepals. The dark wine colour of the eye surrounds the outside of the petals and an additional light cream, pencil-line edge is also visible on the outside rim of the petals. A large green throat enhances the deep wine colour of the eye. Narrow raised ridges extend from the throat out towards the eye, and dark wine veins extend in a starburst fashion from the throat, creating a light wine shadow as it joins to the darker main eye. The scapes have 3-4 way branching and it has an excellent bud count usually from 18-25 buds. In my garden the flower is larger than either of its parents' blooms ('Cherry Lane' x 'Loaves and Fishes'). I have been growing this daylily successfully in my garden for more than 5 years. However, it is an evergreen and I do not recommend moving it or dividing it in late summer or fall. If you need to move it, I would stick to springtime division. Once established it is a great plant. My daylily friend and fellow hybridizer Ed Kimball, noticed it growing in my garden and brought it to my attention as I had overlooked it. Therefore, I named it Cherry Blossom Discovery. $32 Double Fan

'Coastal Starburst' has a dark wine flower with a green throat overcast with yellow. The throat is surrounded by an even darker wine coloured eye.There is a light cream, pencil-line surrounding the petal edges. Thick bright white rays extend out along the midribs and abruptly stop. Later in the season the rays narrow and extend out further on the midribs. The rays are echoed slightly on the sepals. It has inherited the evergreen gene from its pollen parent 'Purple Badger' but has the hardiness of its pod parent 'Spirit Zone'. It has been very hardy in my garden over 6-7 years of evaluation. The scapes have 2-way branching and an average of 10 buds. 'Coastal Starburst' was named by members of Nova Scotia's Coastal Voices Men's Choir, and all proceeds go toward the choir. $26 DF(Double fan)

This daylily is a beautiful dark wine purple self with a green starburst throat fading to yellow as it extends outward on the petals and sepals. A chalky violet halo on the petals and sepals encircles the star-shaped centre. A slightly raised narrow, white midrib extends to the ends of the petals. This daylily is a vigorous grower with excellent plant habit, and as a dormant is very hardy. It has a very good bud count of 18 with 6-7 way branching. Although a midseason bloomer, the high bud count helps to extend the bloom season into mid-late. It is both pod and pollen fertile and combines my 2014 introduction 'Meenoo's Wings'  with 'Super Model'. $24 DF (Double Fan).

This daylily has been a standout for visitors to the garden and for those who have seen photos of it.  One of the parents is a seedling of mine that has a unique coloration. Unfortunately, that plant has not been hardy enough to register and distribute in my gardening zone. However, I believed that its gene pool carried distinctive qualities that were worth trying to capture, but I needed to breed hardiness into the offspring. After analyzing what might preserve the unique coloration of the seedling but also add hardiness, I crossed the seedling with 'Mahogany Belle' using both plants as pod parents but I only got seeds from (Spirit Zone x Gavin Petit) x 'Mahogany Belle' and not from the reverse cross. I need to explore this cross further but sometimes work gets in the way! From the seed that I got 'Etched Mahogany' stood out as a hardier plant than its pod parent, but it also preserved some of the unique coloration from that parent. The flower is a reverse bitone burnt orange mahogany with a very dark, almost black etched eye. There are hints of green in the golden yellow throat and a starburst effect with the dark, etched lines from the eye. The petal colour becomes lighter toward the edges and there is a pencil line darker edge on the petals that has a secondary rim of light cream on the outer extremity of the petal edges. The petals are also slightly ruffled. The flower appearance can change slightly from day to day and in different amounts of heat but it remains a standout unique flower. If you're looking for something a little different, this daylily may appeal to you. In addition, it is a mid-late season bloomer so it will help to extend the bloom season in your garden. It has an average bud count of 14 with 3-4 way branching on the scapes. Double fan (DF) $70.00

UF Crispate. Listed as a rebloomer by the hybridizer.  Fragrant. 

This large flowered daylily with 6.5" blooms is a very good show stopper since it has very good 4-5 way branching and up to 20 or more buds per scape. As a mature clump it puts on a great show, blooming over several weeks. The flower is pink with a very large wine eye and a matching wine edge with a slight hint of cream around the outer lip of the wine edge. It is a full sibling to 'Cupid and Eros', combining the genetics of my 2016 registration 'Cherry Blossom Discovery' crossed with 'Hello Screamer'. Although there are similar looking daylilies on the market I am pleased with the hardiness, the multiple blooms, and long bloom season of this made in Nova Scotia daylily. 'Face Plant' was named due to the dark purple eye on a flesh coloured daylily, reminiscent of anyone who happened to unfortunately take a face-first tumble and receive a black eye as a battle scar.               $40.00  DF (Double fan)

'Fuchsia Space Beacon' is from a cross with my 2016 registration 'Lavender Space Journey' as the pod parent and 'White Eyes Pink Dragon' as the pollen parent. The result was a very high bud count (in my garden) of more than 25 buds per scape and 2-3 way branching on the scapes. As an Unusual Form Crispate daylily, the clusters of flowers always open well and there is a steady and amazing bloom performance for 3-5 weeks. This extends through all of the midseason and into early late season. Early in the day the petals are more of a darker purple and change to a more vibrant fuchsia. The genetics make it a good breeder for anyone interested in UF daylilies. Because of the long bloom season, the fuchsia tepals with the yellow throat and lighter watermark, light up the garden like a beacon through much of the summer. The star like shape also gives it an extraterrestrial feel. For a very hardy daylily with a long bloom season and lots of colourful flowers this one is a winner.                            $38.00 DF (Double Fan)

Rose red edged white on the sepals with a green throat. 

The bloom on 'Intricate Matrix' is a lovely pale cream with a hint of yellow. Deep at the base of the throat the flower is an emerald green colour that merges into a full lemon yellow throat extending one third of the way out on the flower. The yellow throat is surrounded by a dark violet band that is only slightly echoed as a thin line on the sepals. The violet band is notched at the midribs and the darker violet veins in the band contrast with the lighter violet of the band to give it an overall stained glass effect. The creamy pale yellow petals and sepals exhibit gently ruffled edges. There are some daylilies that look similar, however, some of those are not hardy in our climate. This one is a hardy dormant plant. In addition, it has 4-way branching on the scapes, and the scapes have an average bud count of 22 which gives it a long season of bloom in the garden. If you are looking for a hardy, paler coloured daylily with a long period of bloom, this one fills that role very well. 'Dragon Flight' x 'El Desperado' $20 Double Fan

Unusual Form Crispate-Spatulate. 80% polymerous.

This Unusual Form (Pinched Crispate) daylily is a very hardy evergreen, like its sibling Gail Guye. It is named to honour my friend, garden helper, and lover of daylilies, Karen Patterson. Since Gail and Karen are very good friends, it is appropriate that their daylilies are siblings from a cross of 'Lupita Vindaz' x 'Websters Pink Wonder'. The flowers are held just above the foliage and it blooms during the mid-late season. The flower is a dark rose pink self. There is a soft yellow star-shaped throat. A large, light violet eye zone encloses the yellow throat, which in turn is encircled by a darker rose red line on the petals and sepals. The violet area and red line are more obvious in the early morning. This violet eye zone melds into the surrounding dark rose pink tepals as the day progresses. Sections of the outer edges of the sepals and petals have a lighter coloured edge. This edge appears as cream on some flowers and as light pink on sections of other flowers. 13 buds with 3-4 way branching. $20DF (Double Fan)

The daylily Linda Marie was created from a cross between 'Flying Trapeze' and 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. Both parents have contributed excellent qualities that make this a standout daylily in the garden. Everything from the saturated colour that holds up in the sun, down to the wonderful design of the face of the flower, to its hardiness as a plant, make this a daylily to be desired. The colour is a clear dark pink with a green-tinged yellow throat that joins with a strikingly beautiful chalky light pink watermark. The flower provides one of the most pleasing colour palettes from any of my introductions. The scapes have 3-way branching and and an average of 14 buds. Linda Marie is named to honour Linda Smith, a good friend who served on the board of the Nova Scotia Daylily Society during my time as president, and who with her husband has worked selflessly for the promotion of daylilies in Nova Scotia. $65 DF (Double fan).

'Lords And Ladies' has a very clear coloured bright yellow bloom with a dark wine eye. Raised midribs bisect the eye with cream coloured spears that pierce the eye and pull the wine colour out further onto the petals, giving the eye a larger, pointed, triangular look. A thin, dark wine coloured edge envelopes the petals. As a mature clump this daylily puts on a great display and blooms over a long period of time. It has 3-4 way branchig and an average of 15-20 buds per scape. The flowers always open well on this plant. I have succesfully grown it for seven years; nevertheless, it is an evergreen plant that I consider less hardy than some of my other daylilies. I recommend if you plan to move it or to divide it, that you do so in the spring or early summer only, so that the plant gets well established before winter. This one involved crossing 'Lady Bandit' with 'Magnify The Lord', which helped to produce the name! $25 DF Double Fan

A lovely rose/pink self with hints of lavender and a darker violet rose band surrounding a golden yellow throat, with a hint of green that darkens as it fuses with the violet band.  The ruffled petals have a rose-violet edge bordered with a pale cream rim.  Named to honour my mother it has 3-5 way branching and 15 buds.  The pod parent brings in the hardiness and great plant habit of 'Spirit Zone' and the pollen parent brings in the beautiful flower form of 'Delaware Doosy'.  $15 (Double fan)

'Ruby Spider' x 'Cloud Chaser'.  This Unusual Form (Pinched Crispate) daylily is a very dark purple self with a yellow throat that spreads outward in a starburst fashion on the petals and repeats on the sepals.  Light coloured midribs bisect the petals, and to a lesser degree the sepals.  Dark veining is evident on the petals where the two colours meet.  The colour is very clear and holds up well in the sun, making it stand out in the garden.  It is named after our beautiful black garden kitty that was suddenly taken from us in 2013.  2-3 way branching and 15 buds.  $18 (Double fan)

'Lady Bandit x 'Delaware Doosy'  This flower is a very pale pink cream that lightens during the day.  It has a large dark pink eye that is echoed in a narrow strip on the edges of the petals, which are enclosed in a darker gold filigree rim.  It is named after our friends' and neighbours' Samoyed  dog.  3-4 way branching and 18 bud count.

This daylily is named to honour Niki Jabbour, a Nova Scotia garden writer, authour, and radio host. The flower is a beautiful peach/cream blend with ruffled petals. The outer edge of the petals has a thin white, pencil-edge outline surrounding a quarter inch wide, dark purple edge. The flower has a huge clear-coloured dark purple eye, with a raised midrib that pierces the eye with a narrow peach strip. The dark eye and edge give this flower a stand-out look in the garden. It is green deep in the throat with purple veins leading out to the bold eye. There is 3-4 way branching and an average bud count of 15. The large flower and the thick dark edge have made this flower a favorite of mine over the last number of years. 'Gavin Petit' x 'Carpet Bagger'. $32 Double Fan

'Nova Niamh' is a great one of a kind daylily. The flower colour is a beautiful combination of mauve purple with a unique blend of pastel colours reminiscent of Easter. From the dark mauve on the sepals your eye is immediately drawn towards the green throat. The green throat then expands outward where it coalesces with several shades of yellow before opening into a very wide chalky white watermark. The flower form is classified as a Crispate Unusual Form daylily. It is a full sibling to my 2018 registration 'Linda Marie' and is out of 'Flying Trapeze' x 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. It has a bud count of 11 and 2-3 way branching. The word 'Niamh' is of Irish origin (pronounced Nee ihv) and is a feminine given name meaning bright or radiant. Beacuse the plant was hybridized in Nova Scotia I added Nova to Niamh. I want to thank my good plant friend Heather Knight for suggesting Niamh. Niamh is the daughter of the Sea god Manannan and was known for her bright golden hair. At times the flower form resembles a pixie or fairy and this was another reason for choosing Niamh. I think this is the most unique looking flower that I have registered. For those who want something a little different, it's a treasure!      In the late summer of 2020 several of my Nova Niamh plants sent up rebloom stalks that continued to bloom into early October.                                             $75 DF (Double Fan)

For this daylily I crossed my introduction 'Lloyd's Hillendale Sunrise' with 'Last Fool Standing' and I got a large number of very hardy seedlings. After several years of evaluation all the other seedlings were gotten rid of until the best one remained. 'Orange You a Great Guy' was that seedling. This daylily is named to honour Luke Bedell, a young employee who worked for me for 5 years. Luke epitomzed great work ethic and quietly distinguished himself as a very loyal employee. Over the years he demonstrated great dedication to his job and to our business. After leaving our business he gained experience in several not-for profit and small businesses and followed a degree in business at Acadia University. He now runs his own business and works for a major accounting and payroll business. Since high school Luke was also very involved in Rugby, where he excelled provincially, playing for the local clubs but also being 1 of 2 students from Nova Scotia chosen to play on the Atlantic team. He continues to be involved with his community team here in Nova Scotia. Luke is a very bright haired ginger and I found it interesting that his favorite daylily colour is orange. So naturally, when it came to honour him with a daylily he was pretty keen on it being an orange one.  The flower is a medium orange colour with a yellow throat that has hints of green at the base of the throat. There is a very showy dark red orange triangular eye. There is a thin dark orange line around the edges of the consistantly ruffled petal edges. This daylily lives up to its name! It has 4-5 way branching on most scapes and has one of the best bud counts of any daylilies that I have introduced so far, with many scapes having over 25 buds per scape. Although the daylily is listed as an early midseason cultivar, because it has so many blooms, its blooming period extends into the beginning of late season. As a midsized plant it will fit into most gardens easily. If you're looking to brighten up an area of your garden with 4-6 weeks of blooms, this is a great plant to fill that need.

The pink triangle pointing down was used to mark homosexuals in German prison camps starting around 1933-34. Thousands of homosexuals were incarcerated and it is estimated that 40-60% of those incarcerated died. After the war, many were re-incarcerated because they were homosexual. During the 1970's the pink triangle pointing down became a symbol of solidarity among many groups in the Queer community and what had once been used as a symbol of shame was used with pride in an effort to push back against a society that scorned homosexuality. The AIDS activist organization, Act Up, used the pink triangle pointing upwards. In the 1980's the West German government began to acknowledge the mistreatment of gays during Nazi Germany and apologized to the gay community in 2002. Although many countries around the world have moved to entrench gay rights and offer protection against discrimination based on sexuality/sexual identity, the heartbreaking reality is that many countries are still very repressive against members of the Queer community. Worldwide, discrimination and incarceration and even the death penalty for members of the LGBTQ+ community continue. Therefore, I wanted to name this daylily 'Pink Triangle' in an effort to stand in solidarity with the struggles worldwide for the LGBTQ+ community. The triangular shape of the flower and especially the triangular yellow throat of this beautiful pink daylily make it an excellent choice for the name. This daylily results from a cross made between Ontario hybridizer Brian Culver's 'Inspiration Rd.' and my 2016 introduction 'Lavender Space Journey' (incidentally, both hybridizers are members of the LGBTQ+ community). I had many seedlings from this cross but all of the other seedlings came out as lavender flowers and this was the only one that was an obvious pink. It is a full sibling to my 2020 introduction 'Bitonal Symphony'. The plant is a very hardy dormant and the flowers open well in all weather conditions. At 30" tall and with a 6.5" flower it's not easily overlooked in the garden. It has 4-5 way branching on the scapes and a really good average bud count of 20 buds per scape. This is another one of my plants that begins blooming in the mid-late season, so it will add colour to the garden when the flush of midseason bloomers begins to decline. This daylily should appeal to people for many reasons. Double fan (DF) $65.00

'Quasar Caught Dining' resulted from a cross of my 2011 introduction 'Red-edged Sunrise' as the pod parent and 'Magnify The Lord' as the pollen parent. The intensity of the red is greater in 'Quasar Caught Dining' than in its parent and it also has a wider red edge which I believe comes from the pollen parent. The flower is very sunfast and has very little difficulty opening. The plant itself has been very hardy and fairly vigorous. Although it is not a particularly tall plant, it would make a standout plant near the front of a garden. The flower is a golden yellow with a bright red eye and thick red edge on the crimped petals. Although I have not listed it as a rebloomer, it has had some rebloom on it. The saturated colours fade very little in hot weather, giving a bright stand-out flower in the garden. 'Quasar Caught Dining' is named with reference to the discovery that quasars most likely fuel their brightness by eating up gas from other sources, probably neighbouring galaxies. Scapes have 3 way branching with an average of 14 buds per scape. $40 DF (Double fan)

This gorgeous daylily with its elaborate ruffles was from a cross of one of the best daylilies that I grow, 'Forever The Optimist' which was hybridized by fellow Nova Scotian, Don Longton. 'Queen's Petticoat' has a flesh pink flower that fades slightly to cream pink, with a touch of green at the base of the yellow throat. The flower has very heavy ruffling and mouse ears around the edges of the petals and to a lesser extent around the sepals. Ruffles often extend into the folds of the petals and there are also slightly raised midribs. The scapes have 4-5 way branching and a great bud count of 25 or more per scape. This voluptuous flower deserves a place in gardens everywhere. However, it should be placed at the front of garden beds for maximum viewing pleasure since it is short in stature and the flowers are held slighty above the foliage. Good heat increases the heavy ruffling but it also has performed very well in my cool weather garden. $55 DF (Double fan)

Regal Diva's Eyeshadow is a plum colour with a lighter slate mauve watermark. The green throat turns to pale yellow as it extends outward toward the watermark. The flower has pale cream raised midribs and there is a narrow, creamy white edge surrounding the petals and sepals. The scapes have 2-3 way branching and an average of 20 buds. It has been a very hardy plant with 'Forever The Optimist' as the pod parent and 'Supermodel' as the pollen parent. This is another very good daylily for extending the bloom season as it blooms mid-late and has a very healthy bud count that provides blooming over a long period of time. At 41 inches tall and with a large flower, it has proven to be a good plant for the middle or back of the landscape. $32 DF (Double Fan)

'Seaedge Dot and Chet' was named to honour Chester Reese and his wife Dorothy. Together they gardened and sold many types of landscape plants at their very lovely Seaedge Gardens on the edge of the Bay of Fundy in Port George, Nova Scotia. They helped to popularize daylilies in Nova Scotia and were also daylily hybridizers. They are to be honoured for a lifetime of popularizing landscape gardening that included lilies, daylilies, water plants, and a host of other perennials. Additionally, they were responsible for my falling in love with Japanese Irises when I first saw them in bloom in their gardens. 'Seaedge Dot and Chet' is a large bright yellow flower with a wine eye and edge. There is a partial pencil-line white edge along the outside of the wine edge. There is a very noticeable green throat with only slight hints of yellow. The plant has been a good grower and is a very winter hardy dormant with 2-3 way branching and an average of 11 buds.

Unusual Form Crispate. Listed as a rebloomer by the hybridizer.

This daylily is the result of crossing 2 seedlings which I no longer grow. Sometimes the offspring are an improvement in many ways over the parents.  The parents are (Lady Bandit x Magnify the Lord) x (El Desperado x Dragon Flight11). The flower on this daylily opens well even after cool nights and and the scapes have 2-3 way branching and an excellent average bud count of 25 per scape.The light cream colour of the flower is accentuated by the dark wine eye and edge. It starts blooming in midseason and because of the high bud count it blooms later into the season. I named it 'Tardy Hardy Flower Party' first of all because it starts to bloom later in the season, thus the word tardy. There are some similar or even better looking cultivars on the market but they haven't proved themselves hardy in my climate, unlike this daylily which is very hardy. Because it has a high bud count and very good branching, an established clump in bloom does look like a wonderful flower party! If you're looking for a flower that opens well, blooms later in the season and has blooms for many weeks, and that is also a very hardy plant, then this one is for you! Double Fan (DF) $65.00

'Tricuspid Passion Release' is a lovely cream coloured daylily flower with a green throat turning to yellow as it extends outward towards the light fuchsia wine eye. Bright cream rays pierce the eye and extend outward along the raised midribs creating a starburst effect. There is a golden yellow filigree edge on the petals. The scapes have an average of 16 buds which are spread out well with 3-4 way branching. The name emerged from the eye looking heart shaped and of course being in three segments with a starbusrt effect created by the rays. This is another dormant and very hardy plant in my garden where freeze/thaw conditions prevail in most winters. If you're looking for a midsized plant with a lighter coloured, but patterned daylily flower, this one has a good length of bloom season. It is a cross between 'Spirit Zone' and 'Dragon Flight'. $28 DF (Double fan)
