Same (large) form as the species with the best yellow (slightly variegated) of all the cultivars. Recently introduced in Holland. Check with Dennis Dodge at Bethlehem Nursery for future grafts. I got my plant elsewhere but he was grafting them a few years ago. Another place to check is Whistling Gardens in Canada - where I got mine.

oh Thank you kay,I was thinking about sending you a email or some thing to ask if you could help me learn how to do it again..I have not posted photos for a long time, so I figure I have to lern all over again.I told my young daughter a few days ago, you think that busted head I got in November did some thing to my being able to do it this year. She says no as I am sharp as ever and aint nothing wrong with me.I told her well this was easy last year, this year I can not do it, she says no I just need a little help since they must have changed some thing. :)) Oh glad you liked the photos. jean

Nancy, my photo just don't do this daylily bloom justice. when you look at this big bloom, it looks as tho there is a light behind that throat, that you don't see in the photos,and no, the sun was NOT shining on itI took these pictures at 6;45 this morning, no sun up yet.I love that daylily.not as much as wonder of it all, but,i do like this one a lot.Thank you RITA, and Kay and Val and JULIA. for looking at them and commenting. jean

I see you keep getting more rain. We're still dry. There's an 80 percent chance of rain this evening, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed. I always like photos of Octoberfest. In fact, I've tried to get it a couple of times, but Maryott was always sold out when I inquired. I like Painter's Splash too, with those pink edges. Debra

What is the white perennial around the roses there? How long of a bloom period do you get out of it. The name is just escaping me at the moment. I really like how you incorporated the "tropical color" of Marmalade Skies as a soft yet vibrant contrast to the purples, blues, and yellows. Once again, digitalis shows it's merit popping out and adding a lovely amount of color. Have you tried larkspur or liatris spicata in your garden as well?

I looked at you other post along with this one.

I am impressed with all your hard to fine special cultivars. Some day with a little age your place will be one to see. You got it all man...new house...hoop house to graft your own and a nice partial of land to pull everything together.

You deserve it. A dedicated conifer extraordinaire.

She gaining some age. I bought it from Bob Fincham maybe 2004 and it was the size of a baseball, a nice graft... I hit it with my lawnmower last summer and the end result was about two full branches (1/4" wide on the plant) died. The adjustment of the roots killed two branches, you can't beat that!

See ya Nater,

Dax
