(Kirchhoff) 26” - 30” E Re Ex Fr Ev 6” – 6 ?”. We used to refer to this unique new Double as “David’s Lost Toothy Double”. It is an Early Morning Opener in petaloid or hose-in-hose forms (some blooms display both petaloid and hose in hose). During hottest weather, petals sprout teeth up to ? inches long, tipped in pastel yellow gold. The color is quite variable. In the early, cool Kentucky spring, it is a blend of cream peach with rose blush and peach-yellow halo. In Florida and Kentucky when the days turn hot, the colors become increasingly coral and orange. Color and substance are sunfast. Pollen is very powerful; pods moderately fertile. The sun and heat intensify the colors. Named for a great friend and tireless promoter of daylilies from Hattiesburg, Mississippi. Recurrent scapes have 3 – 4 way branching. 99.9% Double. (Never a single, so far)
