'Hyperion' and 'Catherine Woodberry' >>
I like Catherine Woodberry or Woodbury or whatever it is. It produces a lot
of stalks and a lot of buds and blooms a long time in August here. That is
funny Paul, you are getting rid of it and I would buy another if I saw it.
Mine makes so many flowers, it does not bother to increase the clump much. I
bought it for 2.00 from that place in Missouri that sells a hundred plants
for almost nothing. I joined with a friend that really wanted to to make
that order and Catherine is the only one still here. They send you boxes
full of plants, really good sized plants but with almost no information on
what you will receive. I had some huge flowered funny colored plant called
Washington's Farewell. Someone thought it great, the size I suppose,so I
gave it to him. Sometime Cheryl can explain why northern growers get funny
colors when they buy pink plants that bloom pink in the south but look
strange in the north.
I know there is some good information guidelines for buying daylilies in cold
climates which is never in catalogs. As for poor benighted Catherine, even
she looks funny some years and perfectly lovely others. She and a plant ( a
gift) called Purple Heather bloom together every year and neither increase
but they are colors I like.
