(STRAWBERRY FRAPPE X
STRAWBERRY CANDY) Tetraploid, Dormant, M, 30 inches tall, 4 inch flower, 1
to 2 lateral branches plus a Y with a 15 BC. Over the years, I have seen
the BC range from 15 up to 30. Pod and Pollen fertile. REBLOOMED
in 2008 on a mature clump. HARDY in Zone 5.
KNOLL COTTAGE PEACH MELBA is an enticing daylily and
Harry Bishop, the hybridizer of ITSY BITSY SPIDER, saw this daylily when it
first bloomed and said “If this was mine, I would drop to my knees and thank
God.” Another friend, Linda Ryer, helped me to name this lightly
rolled back, peach daylily with a somewhat narrow raspberry red eye.
It reminded her of peach melba pie made with peaches and raspberries,
thus the name KNOLL COTTAGE PEACH MELBA. No fragrance. SOLD OUT

bright and it has a deep yellow to green throat making this daylily very
cheery! No fragrance with this beauty. The unknown pollen parent for
WHIP CITY CARNIE is the first daylily I ever purchased and I never
recorded the name. A friend named it 'Lori’s Fall Promise' when I gave
her a division for her garden, so it does have a garden name. $60.00

daylily side by side. In 2006, I took a picture showing how narrow the sepals can get.

WHIP CITY SLINKY SLIDE won the AHS Best Seedling Award at Tower Hill in MA in
2007. One of the first things that the Exhibition Judges look when
judging a seedling is that it has to be different than anything they
have seen. If it passes this first test, then they continue to evaluate
the seedling on merit and grooming. I was so pleased when seedling #03-392 won the AHS Best Seedling Award.

pollen fertile. Very HARDY in Zone 5.
WHIP CITY SLINKY WALK is a lovely pale yellow flower with a light pink border that
runs alongside the inside edge on the sepals. The height, hardiness
and stamina comes for its parent TWIST OF LEMON, and its delicate
beauty comes from RISEN STAR.
This year we had more rain than usual for the
month of July and I found the daylily flowers were a little fatter
than usual. Click here to see
clump.) However, upon going back in my photo file
and looking at WHIP CITY SLINKY WALK as it matured, the picture that
I am using to represent WHIP CITY SLINKY WALK is how it usually
looks. SOLD OUT
