CURT TURNER'S 2012 INTROS
America's First Peoples
America's First Peoples ( C. Turner ‘12) D06-288 (Seedling X Self) Dor 45” MLa 3.75 Dip. Named to honor those who first populated the lands of Canada and the United States, America’s First Peoples presents a tall, bold, vivid red garden presence with light ruffling on the petals, a pleasant, light fragrance, somewhat lighter midribs and an apple green throat. Fertile both ways, America’s First Peoples proudly sports 30 buds and three-way branching without the benefit of supplemental fertilizers or watering. Good, red, northern-hardy diploids are difficult to come by. One of my favorites. [$60.00 SF] ~~~
Blueberry Stained Fingers (C. Turner ’12) D08-233 ((((Seedling x Siloam Leo Sharp) x Gunmetal) x Unknown) X Unknown) Dor 42” Mla 4.25” Dip. Distinguished by its tall, well-spaced, 5-way branching and 29 blueberry-purple-stained upright buds that are striking from across the garden, Blueberry Stained Fingers delivers on expectations with lovely purple blooms featuring light ruffling on the petals, recurved sepals, a somewhat darker purple band, deeper colored veining and a throat that transitions through gold to green. A nice addition near the end of the daylily bloom season, Blueberry Stained Fingers is fertile both ways. [$60.00 SF] ~~~
Jocelyn Memorial (C. Turner ’12) D96-297 (Asterisk x Seedling) Dor 53” Early 5.25 Dip. Tall, stately, bright, handsome, the epitome of integrity, dedication and service; Dr. Jocelyn Spragg loved daylilies as exemplified in her years of leadership in the New England Daylily Society as Program Chair and Treasurer, and the selection of favorite daylilies that were her treasures. Among them was a creamy near-white seedling displaying, among other characteristics, an unusual vertical separation between the petals and sepals that, in my presence, she discovered in a corner of Ron Rose’s seedling bed. He subsequently introduced it as Jocelyn’s Oddity and it has been a Region 4 favorite for years. Jocelyn Memorial is a very tall, stately, lemon-yellow bright self with a wonderful vertical separation of petals and sepals. With well-spaced, three-way branching, 25 buds, a green throat, fragrance, and fertility both ways, I cannot look upon it without Jocelyn coming to mind. [$60.00 SF] ~~~
Sarah Marlo (C. Turner ’12) D08-219 (Princess Kate sibling x Seedling) Dor 35” Mid-Late-to-late 3.5” Dip. Although registered as a “light peachy beige,” Sarah Marlo’s garden presence is that of a striking near-white with a distinctively contrasting purple eyezone set off by a throat that transitions from purple shadings through gold to green. Upon seeing its first outstanding bloom, I knew that after 21 years of hybridizing, this was the daylily that would bear our daughter’s name. Featuring 26 buds, light petal ruffling and a pencil thin purple line through the midrib, Sarah Marlo is fertile both ways and a superb pod setter; a trait inherited from its pod parent, a sib to Princess Kate and a future introduction, as well as being another nice addition to near-the-end of the daylily bloom season.
