Marilyn's blog: Daylily 'Marilyn Grua'

Posted on Aug 31, 2013 11:26 PM

This is my very favorite Daylily!

This one is named for me, Marilyn Beth Grua and it is a wonderful Daylily!

I love, love, love this Daylily! It is very beautiful! It's a "spidery" tall one!  I love the chartreuse throat! Love the contrast between the purple and the chartreuse colors! Love the way the petals and sepals twist and turn! I'm always excited to see it in bloom every year!

I'm very honored that Dan Bachman of Lebanon, OH wanted to name a Daylily after me! He gave me 4 or 5 choices in 2004 to pick from to have my name on it and as I looked at all the choices in his field, I kept going back to this one. It is stunningly beautiful! Very memorable!

Thanks so much Dan!

Here's some pics of it that I took at Dan & Jackie Bachman's home and at my home.  The fourth one shows all the buds on an established plant.
