2025 INTROS
Note: Due to software issues on Wix, I am unable to separate intros onto individual pages. The 2025 intros are therefore all here on the home page - scroll down for further pics and information. Buttons on the left linking to prior years' intros will also appear at the bottom of the home page if you click on them. The same with individual intros on those pages. Please email for current prices on older introductions. If anybody is savvy enough with Wix to help me fix this, I'd be happy to pay. I've tried everything I can think of.
Shipping is $15 for the first two plants, $3 for each additional.
No rust in our garden. All plants are very cold hardy, and will have made it through a very cold winter this year!
Email me at snorklebuddy@hotmail.com for availability.
Thank you for looking.

ENKI - 36" tall, 6" bloom, 5 branches, 23 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $65 DF
ENKI is a robust purple with strong, well-branched scapes. Fertile both ways and a good increaser. Out of Curt Hanson's Peoples Pleasure Park and Building the Colossus, both excellent performers. Very reliable mid-height purple with excellent genes for hybridizing.

GILGAMESH - 50" tall, 7" bloom, 4 branches, 29 buds. Dormant. Diploid. Mid. Fertile both ways. $65 DF+
GILGAMESH is a bright, exuberant, tall and floriferous plant, bursting out all over with tightly quilled UF blooms. From Marguerite de Vergennes x Don Church's Tiger Whiskers. Two generations from H. Hakuunensis, providing for excellent hardiness, increase, branching and bud count. Good increaser and a nice showy daylily where some tall and fun color is needed.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
INANNA'S BLOUSE - 32" tall, 6" bloom, 4 branches, 29 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $75 DF
INANNA'S BLOUSE is a bitone out of Curt Hanson's Kharma Police and Alone Again. As with some other daylilies in the Jerry Hyatt line, it can be somewhat variable from lighter tones to darker ones, depending on temperature and conditions. One outstanding feature, from its pollen parent Alone Again, is that it keeps its color all through the day - even on hot sunny days. See pics below, both taken after a blistering day.
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
OFF HER MEDS - 38" tall, 8" bloom, 4 branches, 39 buds. Dormant. Diploid. Mid. Fertile both ways. $65 DF
OFF HER MEDS is a crazy girl out of Jim Murphy's As You Wish x the classic Lilly Dache. Wild looking flowers, often take different UF-style shapes. Scapes can be amazing, with sometimes 5 or 6 branches, with bud counts up to 40 and beyond. Occasionally petals have a translucent spot, so this is not so much a show plant, as a fun addition to the garden with a big show on great plants that increase readily. See scape shot below - that's one scape!
**********************************************************************************************************************************************************
SUPERPERP - 46" tall, 7" bloom, 3 branches, 20 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $85 DF
SUPERPERP was outstanding from her first bloom She has quite a pedigree, including Astral Voyager, Wiggly Piggly, Frieda Allen Jarrell, Wild Smurf and Joan Derifield. Large, spatulate blooms always open wide and flat and she passes this trait along to all her kids. Excellent parent, combining well with purples, reds, lavenders and others, always throwing striking blooms.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
VIOLET TOWN - 39" tall, 7.5" bloom, 3 branches, 25 buds. Dormant. Tet. Mid. Fertile both ways. $85 DF
VIOLET TOWN is a strong showy purple from two excellent parents: Curt Hanson's Building the Colossus and Judy Davisson's High Water Mark. Striking blooms have a blue/gray watermark on the petals, and a yellow watermark on the sepals. Strong, robust grower. Totally cold hardy. Stately in a clump - a nice showy addition to the garden with the large clearly colored blooms and a strong plant.
ALL GIRL MARCHING BAND (Laffin 2024) 44" tall, 7" bloom, 3 branches, 26 buds, Mid, Dor, Tet
$90 DF
AGMB is a full sib to Pink Patriot (Laffin 2023) but is taller and has larger blooms. Very robust plant that increases readily and is fertile both ways. Has no problem with bitterly cold winters. The flower has interesting details that are more prominent on some days than others - while there is a light lilac watermark, there is also an orange band between the throat and watermark that can blush into the watermark. On the petal edges there is an orange wire band - sometimes more pronounced than at other times.
The tepals can be light raspberry (as shown) but in some conditions may be a smoky violet. One must be prepared for a variation in shades depending on weather if you are going to grow this plant. This may come from its interesting parentage: (((Interrupted by Splendor x Building the Colossus) X ((Clear Fork x (Dangling Participle x Arabella Pearl))) which has made it an excellent parent when crossed with a wide range of partners. It is its value for breeding that is the primary reason I'm offering it.
