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.                                       $40 DF (Double Fan)

This beautiful daylily combines Ontario hybridizer Brian Culver's 'Inspiration Road' with one of my best introductions 'Lavender Space Journey'. I am very pleased with the outcome.  The result is a beautiful purple bitone flower with lighter lilac sepals. It also has a soft lemon yellow applique throat. There is very good 4-5 way branching on the scapes and an average of 18 buds per scape.  The flowers begin in midseason and mature clumps have an outstanding display with the contrasting bitone colours. It is a full sibling to my 2020 introduction 'Pink Triangle'. For naming the plant, there actually is such a thing as a bitonal symphony, and a quick google search gives an adequate explanation. However, my use of the name 'Bitonal Symphony' also employs a secondary meaning for bitonal, that being two shades of the same colour. Since the flower is registered as a bitone (dark petals and lighter sepals in the same colour range)  I thought 'Bitonal Symphony' was appropriate even if it is a bit of play on words.  Double Fan (DF) $60.

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. $38 Double Fan

'Cerise Surprise' is a very lovely clear coloured dayliliy with a bud count of 15 per scape and 3-4 way branching. It is a cerise coloured flower with a chalky cerise halo around a yellow throat. It has a good bud count and starts to bloom in midseason and extends into the mid-late season often finishing in early September. The branching is well spaced so that mature clumps have a balanced look and also flowers that open well even after cool overnight temperatures. If you're looking for a daylily that extends past the midseason and looks great even in cooler weather, this a very good choice.                     $38 DF (Double fan)

'Coastal Dawn' was named by the men in the community choir in which I sing, Coastal Voices Men's Choir www.coastalvoices.ca. All of the proceeds from the sale of this plant goes to support the choir. The colours in 'Coastal Dawn' are reminiscent of the colours of the sky in the early morning hours just before daybreak, especially in winter. 'Coastal Dawn' has a large lilac rose flower that opens very well. There is a slightly green throat that turns to a strong lemon yellow colour. The yellow throat is encircled by a dark purple eye. The dark purple colour of the eye is also visible around the edge of the petals. The outer edge of the petals has a lighter cream colour that encloses the dark purple. The petals have tight crimping all the way around with some larger ruffles. The scapes have 3-5 way branching and up to 25 buds per scape. Since it has a high bud count, as an established clump it tends to bloom up to 5 weeks. The cross was between my 2014 introduction 'Jodi DeLong' and Don Longton's, 'Forever The Optimist'; making it a truly Nova Scotian daylily!  $28 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. $25 DF(Double fan)

'Cupid and Eros' is out of my 2016 registration 'Cherry Blossom Discovery' as the pod parent crossed with 'Hello Screamer'. The resulting seedlings had very high bud counts and most were hardier than both parents. "Cupid and Eros' was selected by one of my employees with another name in mind, however, that name was already registered so I decided on 'Cupid and Eros' because of the very large heart-shaped eye on the flower. The petals and sepals are a soft pink colour with a dark pink, almost red eye and edge and a yellow throat. The flower is large sized and the bud count is very high with 24 or more buds per scape. Even though there is a high bud count, the flowers are held nicely apart due to 4-5 way branching on the scapes. This is an excellent plant for a long season of bloom due to the number of buds per scape. At 41" tall it has good height as a major display plant in the garden. If you're looking for a plant that will give lots of blooms over a long bloom period and that will stand above many other plants, this could fill that hole in your garden!                                                                                       $40.00  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'. $20 DF (Double Fan).

Multiplies very quickly. 

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.               $38.00  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.                            $35.00 DF (Double Fan)

This daylily is a very hardy dormant with very good vigour. The 30" scapes carry the large (5.75") flowers well above the foliage. It has a 12 bud count with 3-4 way branching. The dark golden yellow flowers with their large dark burgundy/wine eye and edge stand out in the garden. A lighter pencil rim edge surrounds the dark burgundy edge on very nicely ruffled petals. Light golden yellow midribs extend out from a green/yellow throat. It combines the great plant habit of my 2011 introducton, 'Red-Edged Sunrise' with 'Gavin Petit'. $20 DF (Double Fan). Although the bud count isn't exceptionally high, this has been a favorite daylily among customers who have purchased it. I have received many positive comments about how much people like it.

‘Inextinguishable Flame’ is a great daylily. It is the result of a cross between my introduction ‘Lloyd’s Hillendale Sunrise’ and Jamie Gossard’s ‘Heavenly United We Stand’. The very large 8” flower is a reverse bitone with red sepals and orange red petals. The green-yellow throat opens outward to a dark red eye. The petal edges are slightly puckered giving a lacy look. Its 46” tall scapes have 3-4 way branching with up to an amazing 35 buds per stalk. This daylily has one of the best bud counts of any that I have introduced. If you’re looking for a daylily with height and great presence and that also blooms for close to 2 months this one won’t disappoint you. It really lives up to its name! ‘Inextinguishable Flame’ is a hardy dormant daylily that begins blooming mid-late in the season and continues blooming into the fall. If you add this one to your garden, once it is established you can expect it to provide blooms from midsummer into the fall, day after day! Honestly, who doesn’t want that kind of performance in their garden!   $70 DF (Double fan)

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

This cross between 'Spirit Zone'and 'Carpet Bagger' is a beautiful peach self with a large wine/rose lightly feathered eye on the petals and a matching outline on the sepals. There is a narrow wine/rose edge on the petals, starting in the throat and then morphing to a golden edge further out on the petals.   There are fairly heavy ruffles on the petals with lighter ruffles on the sepals.  The flower has a green throat fading to yellow and then melding to gold and rose, as it extends outward into the eye.  This plant has been my favorite seedling over the past couple of years.  It is an early morning opener even on cool mornings.  I get tired of purchasing daylilies that do not always perform well in my climate, so I am happy to say that I cannot recall seeing it ever open poorly.  Additionally, it looks great at any time of the day.  It has a fairly high bud count of 20 and 3-4 way branching.  $25 (Double fan)  It is named to honour my friend and prominent Atlantic Canadian plant writer, Jodi DeLong.

This Cascade Unusual Form daylily is named to honour my friend and a great gardener, Joni Guptill. A quick google search of Joni Guptill's name reveals a lifetime of accomplishments related mainly to her profession as a medical doctor. She was very involved with Medicins sans Frontieres (MSF) (Doctors without borders) both in the field in a variety of countries and at home in setting up the Atlantic Office of MSF.  She also served on the Board and as president of MSF Canada. She received the Distinguished Alumni award from Acadia University as well as an honorary doctorate. She ran a medical practice in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick and continues a family practice in Nova Scotia. Like Joni, this daylily has been outstanding. It is a full sibling to 'Celestial Trinity'. The flower is a very large 8 inches on tall 40", scapes so the size of the flower and the height of the scapes gives this flower presence in the garden! It is a very hardy dormant that really helps to extend the daylily bloom season because the average bud count is over 20 per scape and it is a late blooming cultivar. If you're looking for a plant to add colour to your late season garden this one is for you! Additionally, the scapes have 4-5 way branchng, giving all those flowers great spacing on strong sturdy scapes. The deep wine red/pink petals have a large slate pink halo that is echoed on the sepals. A tinge of green deep in the throat of the flower turns to bright yellow as it extends outward and then fades to cream as it travels along the raised midribs. The parents are my 'Emerging Star' crossed with 'White Eyes Pink Dragon'. Double Fan (DF) $45.00

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. $60 DF (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.  $16 (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'. $30 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.                                             $70 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.

'Out Of The Fog' is a very reliable grower and bloomer. The flower is a crimson purple with a green throat fading to yellow as it expands outward. The yellow throat is surrounded by a blue/slate halo. The flower exhibits pinching on all 3 petals most of the time, but also consistantly displays cascading on the sepals, making it a Cascade Unusual Form daylily. Numerous qualities make it a good addition to northern gardens. The flower colours hold up well in the sun and the rain. The scapes have 4-5 way branching, giving the blooms a good spaced out appearance. The bud count is 20+, giving it a long season of bloom. It starts to bloom in mid-season and extends into the late season when many other daylilies have already finished blooming. The flowers always open well and the plant is a very hardy dormant. The parents are my 2014 introduction 'Meenoo's Wings' and Jamie Gossard's 'Super Model'. $28 Double Fan

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) $60.00

'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. $35 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. $50 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. The cross was from one of my seedlings ('Spirit Zone' x 'Gavin Petit'17) crossed with 'Heavenly Dark Matter'. $30 DF (Double fan)

This daylily has a dark burgundy purple flower. A large golden yellow throat is surrounded by a chalky blue/gray chevron pattern halo that is not always visible. The yellow throat has a starburst effect on the petals and sepals.  A white pencil-line edge surrounds the petals and sepals. From a distance, the very large (8") dark flowers are reminiscent of giant spiders. When in bloom, the plant stands out because the scapes are 48" tall. It towers above most of the other daylilies and truly resembles 'Tarantulas On Telephone Poles'. It is a Pinched Crispate Unusual Form Daylily. If you are looking for a tall, dark, and handsome flower that opens well and looks good in the middle or back of a garden bed, this one should serve that purpose well. It is a very hardy plant.

'Timberdoodle Sunset' was named by Bernard Jackson and is registered in his honour. Bernard Jackson came to Newfoundland in 1958 and served on the Wildlife Park Advisory Committee and helped to form the Salmonier Nature Park. Memorial University of Newfoundland asked him to develop the Oxen Pond Botanical Park (renamed MUN Botanical Garden) and he oversaw its development from 1971 to 1993. After moving to Truro, Nova Scotia he designed and helped install the rock gardens at the Dalhousie Agricultural Campus in Truro and helped to establish the volunteer group Friends of the Gardens to help maintain the campus gardens. Bernard is a wealth of information about plants and has made significant contributions to landscape gardening in eastern Canada. Therefore, he is especially worthy of having the daylily 'Timberdoodle Sunset' registered in his honour. Timberdoodle is actually another name for the Woodcock. Bernard remembers from when he was younger, seeing woodcock flying out of the woods at sunset and this inspired the name 'Timberdoodle Sunset'. The parents of 'Timberdoodle Sunset' are 'Lloyd's Hillendale Sunrise' and 'Heavenly Orange Blaze'. This daylily is an early season bloomer with 3-4 way branching on the scapes and an average bud count of 15 buds per scape. The flower is a bitone with dark burnt orange petals and lighter orange sepals mixed with golden yellow. It has a bright golden yellow triangular throat that maximizes the distinctiveness of the bitone flower. It is of average height at 32" tall but the flower is fairly large at 6", which helps it to be quite noticeable. If you're always anxious for the daylily bloom season to begin, this is a variety that blooms early and is a good choice for kickstarting your daylily season with a distinctive standout flower.

Although it is not registered as a budbuilder, it did perform as a budbuilder the summer of 2011.  This was a summer characterized by ample rain throughout the season.  Both parents are budbuilders, so the genes are definitely there.

‘Women Seeking Women’ has been a superb daylily for many seasons in my garden. It combines my introduction ‘Emerging Star’ with Jamie Gossard’s ‘White Eyes Pink Dragon’. It is a beautiful clear coloured pink flower with a green throat opening outward to a soft lemon yellow. ‘Women Seeking Women’ has narrow white midribs and some pleating on the petals. The flower always opens well in any weather conditions and it is a hardy dormant plant. It has a good bud count of 18 and 3-way branching on 36” scapes. The large 7” flowers show up very well and provide a lovely accent to any garden. I have named it to honour my good daylily gardening friends Joan Bradley and her partner Louise Plourde. When they visited my garden a couple of years ago, I mentioned that I wanted to name a daylily ’Women Seeking Women’ (‘Women Seeking Men’ is a popular daylily already on the market). They were excited by the idea and were adamant that I would need to choose a pink daylily seedling. I am pleased to be able to fulfill that plan and dedicate ‘Women Seeking Women’ to Louise and Joan!    $75.00 DF (Double fan)
