We are proud to introduce the following daylilies for 2008.

DESIRES OF THE HEART, Introduction by N. Ripley 2008 (Nan's First Blush X Seedling) 5 ½" flower, 26" scapes, 22 plus bud count on well branched scapes. Semi-evergreen, very hardy in Zone 4 where it was breed. Should do well in southern states. Fertile both ways. Desires of the Heart is an exquisitely formed round daylily with over lapping petals in a Clear Shimmering Rose Pink color. A large watermark leading into a green throat with a yellow toothy edge finishes this flower. Gorgeous clear pink diamond dusted flowers on tall well branched scapes. Pink color that is so bright and so clear that it radiates in the garden. This is one of the best and a great parent.

CURIOUS WHISKERS (DIP) N. Ripley 2008 introduction. (Jan's Twister X Let It Rip) 9" bloom, HT 27", M, SE in the South Dormant in the North. What an exquisite true spider.

IT IS WHAT IT IS, 2008 introduction by N. Ripley. Dip (Golliwog x Lavender Handlebars) 8" bloom, HT 27", M, SE in the South Dormant in the North. Won 3rd as Favorite Lily Chatter Seedling in Open Form. Delicious pink lavender frilly petals and sepals lead you to a yellow green throat. The petals and sepals stand up away from the throat to give the flower a more 4 dimensional look in the garden. This Unusual form is characterized by intricate and beautiful design and execution of form. It has such beauty and delicacy as to arouse delight when viewing it in the garden. But don't let this fool you it is very hard and stands up well all through the day. "It Is What It Is calls out to the discriminating collector and breeder of unusual forms.
