WHIP CITY SWEET HONEY BEA
Jones, L., 2011 Hardy Zone 5

Seedling 00-415 (CHICAGO CARDINAL X RED SUSPENDERS) Tet, Dor, M to ML, UFO, CRISPATE – Pinching, 40 inches tall, 7 inch flower as is, 5 branches ( 2 lateral plus a W ) with a 21 bud count. No fragrance. The pistil does not appear in all blooms and I have not been able to set pod on this daylily. Pollen fertile. This intro is a sultry red self with light ruffling on the petals enhanced by a yellow to green throat.

Bea Thibeault was at my home for the NEDS Western MA Garden Tour and stayed with me thru the HADS Regional, so she was able to see my seedling for more than just a day. Bea is a sweetheart and a good friend who has picked this seedling along with many others she felt were outstanding and that she would like in her garden. Bea is also the person who choose BIG HONKING FLAMING FLOOZY ’08 for her Birthday present in 2006, so you know she has a good eye and can pick a winner.

The name WHIP CITY SWEET HONEY BEA was chosen because her husband, Don, wanted this daylily called Sweet Bea and her best friend, Judy Avery, wanted it called Honey Bea and Bea wanted to be surprised. Hope everyone is happy!
