Butterflies I was one of the first 300 contributors to the plant database! Daylilies Hummingbirder Ponds
As Michelle mentioned, I bought seeds from Fred several years that had Lillian's Jinger Bred as the pollen parent. I had ten seeds and there wasn't an ugly seedling in the bunch. I still grow 6 of these seedlings. They are so nice that I will probably always find a place for them in my yard. I have registered two of them, the two that have the best rebloom.

I knew from the first bloom that this one was special. It has a 7" bloom with a ruffle that is 1/2 to 1" wide. That is pretty good in a zone 6 garden. It is named GRANDMA'S RUFFLED CURTAINS. The second photo is a collage of several blooms. You will have to click on the image to see the whole thing.

The second one I registered (POLAR SNOW) is a near white that has great rebloom, often putting up a third set of scapes in the fall. While neither has the bud count that I would like, the rebloom makes up for that. In fact I was surprised when I counted bud scars because both bloomed for 5-6 weeks.
