@FrillyLily - thank you for the info on Golden Hibiscus! That's one of the ones I was most interested in, but it was also the most expensive. That's good information to know about it blooming in the foliage. I'm trying to hybridize for shorter daylilies, in general, as well as daylilies with larger blooms (both in 'short' and 'medium' sizes), so I can work with the plant a little in my hybridizing, I think, if I cross it with something that has shorter/more proportionate foliage. Do you remember if it had a long bloom season and/or lots of buds?
...And, most importantly to me right now, do you remember if most of the blooms were flat-faced or recurved/bagel shape?
:smily:
They do have Mary's Gold, so that might end up being my 'bonus plant' that I get (they allow requests for bonus plants, which I think is great...they just can't guarantee that they'll have it, of course).
@admmad - Maurice, you are a daylily genius, aren't you?
I feel like there isn't a question out there that you don't have some sort of answer to or knowledge about. Thank you, yet again.
Can you tell me how the scapes of LW and Jerusalem are in relation to other daylilies? Is LW fairly thin in comparison? Are Jerusalem's pretty sturdy? Do either of them tend to have more than 2-way branching? Have you noticed lots of blooms and/or a long bloom season on either of them? I'm having a hard time figuring out information about their hybridizing potential in my breeding program (my goals: thick scapes, lots of buds/branches) from the pictures because there's only bloom pictures...apparently scape pictures don't sell the plant to the average person.
