Angie, my avatar is the maiden bloom in Curt's seedling field of JERRY HYATT. I just loved it first time I saw it. The whole group of seedlings from that cross were very special. When Curt asked if I would like to pick a daylily to name for my brother, I knew which one it would be!
It has turned out to be an important plant. It has won some awards, but I am hoping that it will win a second Stout for Curt when the time comes that it is up for it -- it grows well all over the country and is very popular.
JERRY HYATT changes from day to day through the bloom season. Some days, the background color is spotted just like a giraffe or leopard.
Here it is in my garden. It shows a bit of spotting in this photo.
