*GREYWOODS APACHE WOODSONG (Wilkinson 11) S/O Sev. 31” M-LM Re. 6” Tet Patterns are all the rage these days, and this bloom is a real color break for northern hems. A light peach open star form has a large jagged fushia, mauve and slate grey banded pattern with contrasting center rays.

*GREYWOODS BITES O’HONEY (Wilkinson 17) Dor 28.00 28” M-LM 7” Hooks and teeth, oh my – this golden bloom shines from afar. Starting out a saturated deep gold self in the morning, the base color and sepals fade to a vibrant gold cream above the gold center and deep gold teeth by afternoon. Shows lots of hooks and teeth on both petals and sepals. Tiny olive green throat. Very showy, good substance, and nice foliage. Moderate increase, and nicely fertile both ways. 17-23 buds and 3 top branches. [Sdlg (Buzz Saw X Outer Limits) X Reap The Whirlwind] Just a few.

This dusty creamy orange is overlaid with rose stippling and a rose band surrounds a vivid yellow center into a grass green throat. The wide yellow gold border is crimped, ruffled and exhibits teeth and tentacles - even on the sepals during hot days. Truly unique and very fertile. Many scapes with 16-23 buds. Wonderfully fertile.

It’s a lavender peach with a lovely slate blue eye trimmed fushia and faint slate midribs. Shows a contrasting thin lavender blue edge and a yellow into a green throat. 3 br. & 17-23 buds. Fertile.

-
*GREYWOODS COUNTING STARS (Wilkinson'15) Tet. 25.00 Dor. 34" M-LM 7.5" Re. While not working with double tet. spiders, I have admired this plant and star shaped flower for years. It's an orange peach bitone, with a red band, that doubles 80% of the time with center tufts. Wonderfully different, and a new direction for spiders. Nice foliage, great pollen and moderately pod fertile. Top 2-3 branches and 14-17 buds. Bloomed into Aug. here! [GREYWOODS LOFTY LIZZIE X (TURNERS TO3-3 (FOOLED ME X (DESERT TAN X UNK))].
-
Greywoods COWGIRL CASANOVA (Wilkinson 12) Dip 24.00 Sev 33" EM 8.5"+ UF Cascade. Extremely showy pastel cream pink, with a huge rose triangular eye and a large grass green center. The imperfection is that it only has 2-3 branches and 14-19 buds. Never mind - it's still a knockout. Good substance, moderately pod fertile with good pollen. The kids are fantastic! Let it clump. [Greywoods Wild Horsefeathers X Skinwalker] A few.
-
GREYWOODS DANCE A DIME (Wilkinson 11) Dor UF 18.00 33" M 9" Cascade Spider Ratio 4.8:1. This lovely DIP spider starts out a creamy lavender in the AM with a faint chartreuse applique (more colorful on cool mornings). It fades to pastel lavender cream yellow by evening. Large green center with a hint of cream midribs. 3 br. & 16-22 buds. Fertile. **During the war my mom and her girlfriends would charge 10¢ a dance to soldiers to benefit various charities – hence the name. (GW TOOTHACHE PURPLE X ANNABELLES GHOST)
-
*GREYWOODS DeNIRO (Wilkinson 14) Tet Dor. 25.00 31" EM 6.25" I love plum eyed hems, and this plant caught everyone's attention in the seedling beds this summer. Lavender amethyst with a deep plum eye, it shows a double rim of plum bordered creamy white. Variable teeth and a grass green throat complete the bloom. A husky scape and a wonderful parent. Add this one to your eyed breeding stock! 3 branches, 18-25 buds. (God Save The Queen X Greywoods Fritzwilliam) Ltd.

*GREYWOODS DESERT FOX (Wilkinson 13) Tet. Dor 20.00 26" EM-M 5.5" From our great GW Road To Mecca, Lips A Quiver lines, comes this showy hem. A light cream buff with a bold raspberry plum eye and border. The eye bleeds into the ruffled rim at times and angel wings can show up in the heat. Good foliage and nice proportions. Very fertile making nice large pods. 3 br/ 18-26 buds. One for those bold eyes! [GW Country Squire X GW Lips A Quiver]
-
*GREYWOODS DUN ROVIN' (Wilkinson 14) Tet. Sev. 22.00 27" ML-La. 6" Good lates are hard to find in vivid colors, but GW DR is the exception. It's a deep fushia rose - almost a violet raspberry - with a bubbly, crimped golden-yellow rim. A tiny halo surrounds a yellow into a green throat. Shorter hems are not my thing, but you got to love a northern hem that had scapes into Sept! Showy and nicely fertile. 3 branches, 17-22 buds. [Sdlg (Greywoods Fritzwilliam X Alexa Katherine) X Granny Smith]
-
*GREYWOODS EVENSTRIDE (Wilkinson '15) Tet. Sev 28.00 29" EM-M 6.25" Consistant and even, the color here is a vivid raspberry violet with a loopy gold rim and prominant teeth. Gold into a green throat. This was my favorite breeding mom last summer, and it is sinfully fertile both ways. Very long blooming with nice foliage. 17-21 buds, 3 branches. [(GREYWOODS FRITZWILLIAM X ALEXA KATHERINE) X BORN TO RUN] Just a few.
-
GREYWOODS FASHIONISTA (Wilkinson 11) Dor. Dip Re S/O 29” M-LM 7-7.5” A favorite of garden visitors this summer, this lavender mauve star-like bitone has lighter lavender cream sepals trimmed pastel mauve. Blue violet band, cream midribs and a large chartreuse center, the bloom can twist or roll at times – a real character. Won the Stanley Saxton Reg. 4 Award. 3 br & 17-22 buds. (JUDY LOWE X GW LONESTAR)

[Sdlg (Piece of Sky X Marseilles Watercolor) X Get Jiggy] Ltd.
-
*GREYWOODS FROCKS AND FRILLS (Wilkinson 14) Sev. S/O 31" M-LM 7" GW Frocks and Frills is certainly no 'ordinary' flower! A bitone of rose raspberry with a deeper rose band, and lighter sepals blended saffron yellow and rose, it also has a bubbly yellow gold rim. Hooks and teeth show up in the heat. Add on a nicely branched scape to great breeding. The parents offer both rims & teeth, plus hardiness. I used it's pollen on southern tenders, rounds & ruffled and on UFs. Can't wait for the kids! 3 branches, 19-24 buds. [Sdlg (Eight Miles High X Greywoods Lofty Lizzie) X Outer Limits]
-
*GREYWOODS GIDDY UP GIRL (Wilkinson 11) Dor 29” M Re S/O
5.75” Tet. A sib to GW CYBERSTEED - again the color takes center stage. Medium peach blooms with a hot violet mauve eye and crimped violet mauve rim. Green throat. Nice foliage and fertile. 3 br & 21 buds avg. More water pushes up the bud count. **As a young’un, my dad would call out “Giddy Up Girl’ when my quarter horse & I ran the barrels! Great kids are coming from this line. Very Fertile. (MYSTERIOUS EYES X TETRA LBB). -
-
GREYWOODS KATZ KANDO (Wilkinson 13) Dip. S/O Sev. 38" M 4" My "Katz' line has been a winner, and this daylily continues the tradition. It's a rolled back triangular deep violet with a bold plum eye and a huge green center. The center extends 1/2 of the way out the petals and shows off when the bloom rolls back. Nice deep branching, average pod fertility. 3 low br/ 16-22 buds. [GW Allie Katz X Heavenly Twisted].
-
GREYWOODS KATZNESS (Wilkinson 16) Dip. 20.00 Dor. 32” ML 3-3.5” Named for the star in my favorite series ‘The Hunger Games’, this feisty daylily is a pretty medium pink with a lavender slate pattern rimmed in hot raspberry stitching. The base color fades to a lighter cream pink in the hot afternoon, yet the bloom is still alluring. Deep green throat, with sturdy scapes, 3 branches and 18 buds. Fertile. Fun to take this pattern to the spiders. (Crystal Blue Persuasion X Cosmic Kaleidoscope) Clp
-
GREYWOODS KIT KATZ (Wilkinson 11) Sev/ Dor. Dip 18.00 Rolled UF 34” M-LM 3.5-4.5” GW KK is another from my GW ALLIE KATZ line. It’s a smaller rolled silvery-lavender pink, with a painted on mauve blue triangular band and a large vivid green center. The band fades to more silver by afternoon and the blooms can recurve more in the heat. Top branching, but many scapes with 20-26 buds that bloom in clusters. Nicely fertile and very showy from afar. (GW ALLIE KATZ X LOLA BRANHAM)
-
*GREYWOODS KNUCKLES and NUGGETS (Wilkinson '15) 30.00 Tet. Sev. 31"EM-M 6" I have to thank Curt Turner for the garden name of K & N for this lovely hem. Starting out a medium pink in the morning, it changes to a soft apple blossom pink by afternoon. Edges are crimped and heavily ruffled a yellow green, and the throat is also green. Long blooming and nicely fertile both ways. Add green to your crimped rims! 3 top branches and 17-22 buds. Can be tender in colder zones. [GREEN REVOLUTION X (GREYWOODS SUNRISE FROST X BOUNDLESS BEAUTY)] A few.
-
*GREYWOODS KRYSTAL KID (Wilkinson 13) Tet. Dor. S/O 34" M 7.5"+ UF Here's a great "almost" spider to further along your white spider program, or just enjoy in the garden. The star-shaped UF (crispate at times) blooms creamy white in the AM, becoming almost pure white later, with a radiating green center. Clear, clean and crisp. Scapes are numerous and strong, and it tends to bloom in clusters. Moderately pod fertile, great pollen, with 3 top br/ 17-23 buds. A white spider parent. [Tuxedo Junction X Ivory Angel Wings] Just a few.
-
*GREYWOODS LIPPILOU (Wilkinson 13) Tet. Dor. 20.00 31" M-LM 8"+ UF GW LIPPILOU reminds me of a tet GW Great Dana and GW Disco Dana combo. The light yellow UF crispate pinches & twists, and the edges fade to cream by afternoon. Shows a number of blooms at once, with many scapes. I love the interesting buds just before they open. Showy with good genetics to breed to the southern tender spiders. 3 top br/ 16-21 buds. Some pods, super pollen. [Boo Webster X Tuxedo Junction]
-
*GREYWOODS LIPSTICK BANDIT (Wilkinson '15) Dor. Tet. 20.00 28" M 6.25 From great parents comes this thin petalled star shaped bloom. Bright daffodil yellow with a hot rose red eye and a thin red rim, this color stands out from afar. Consistent contrast, and good foliage add to its alure. Cross with the tender spiders! Deep green throat, 3 top branches and 17-21 buds. Fertile. [(GREYWOODS ADIVA ADAY X GREYWOODS LOFTY LIZZY) X THUNDERCAT]
-
*GREYWOODS MOCKINGJAY (Wilkinson 17) Tet 45.00 Sev. 29” EM 6” Patterns are all the rage now, and this complex bloom is a favorite parent. Base color is an illusive creamy lavender peach, with a multi-pattern of chalk bordered in raspberry blue-mauve on both petals and sepals. Hot afternoons show a lighter base color, and more raspberry hues. Showy deep green throat. Variable with the temps, yet always outstanding! Very fertile, 2-3 branches and 13-18 buds. Winner (Tie) of the Reg. 4 Hybridizer's Award. [Sdlg (Aztec Headdress X Greywoods Tallyho) X Get Jiggy). A Few
-
GREYWOODS NEYTIRI (Wilkinson 13) Tet. Dor. 48.00 32" EM-M 6.5" Re. Wow! From James Cameron's 2009 epic Sci-Fi film Avatar, the character Neytiri is the Na'vi clan chief's daughter. GW NEYTIRI is as lovely and strong willed as the namesake. A cream buff washed pastel peach in the AM, the gold ruffles display loops, folds, teeth & angel wings. The peach fades to contain more yellow in the afternoon. The deep green throat bleeds out into sculptured petals that vary in depth. Less angel wings on rebloom, but still lots of sculpturing. Truly gorgeous and sinfully fertile. A breakthrough in combining the bells and whistles of the southern hems with good northern stock. Breeding possibilities are endless. 3 br/ 17-24 buds. [Fringy X Sdlg (Fiji X Greywoods Bill Chambers)] A Few
-
*GREYWOODS NOTABILITY (Wilkinson 16) Tet 28.00 Sev. 30” M-LM 6” There are a number of near whites around, yet this beauty has always stood out in the seedling beds. The off white bloom seems overlaid with a subtle buff color that gives depth to it’s quality. There is some center sculpturing and the loopy bloom edges are ruffled and crimped. The plant has good proportions, a small green throat, and is long blooming. Definitely a keeper as a garden plant and a parent! 3 to 4 branches and 23+ buds. Fertile. [Fringy X Sdlg (Wedding Gown X GW Bill Chambers)] Just a few.
-
*GREYWOODS PAWS and WHISKERS (Wilkinson 12) 20.00 Tet Sev. 30" EM 7.5"+ UF A wonderful clear star-shaped purple rose-violet with a plum eye and plum lines radiating towards a center green throat. A variable plum rim is adorned here and there with white teeth and hooks. Eye catching in the garden. Nicely fertile, 2-3 top branches and 16-22 buds. [Art Gallery Iridescence X Sdlg (Igor X Greywoods Lofty Lizzie)]
-
*GREYWOODS PLUM LOVIN’ (Wilkinson 16) Tet 25.00 Sev. 30” M 6.5”+ I love this plant with it’s interesting parents of a UF seedling crossed with Curt Turner's wonderful Liar’s Poker. The result is a hot vivid violet plum overlaid with a silver-slate halo. Although not registered as a crispate, the bloom pinches most of the time to create an attractive UF. Nice plant proportions, lots of scapes and a vivid green center. 3 branches and 21 buds. Fertile. I’ve taken this back to many of the tender spiders. [Sdlg (Michael Bennett X Twisted Mint Julep) X Liar’s Poker) Ltd.
-
*GREYWOODS RAINBOW EQUUS (Wilkinson 16)Tet S/O Dor. 33” M-LM 6.5” Wow! This bloom always gets lots of attention from hybridizers and the garden club ladies alike. And rightly so. It’s a creamy lavender mauve with a complex broken violet pattern around cream violet stacked rings, that are also on the eye-catching sepals. Base color lightens up in hot afternoons with more movement in the pattern. Colder morning brings less consistent rings, but it’s still showy. Ruffled violet rims and a large green to chartreuse center. 3 branches and 18+ buds. Strong scapes, good foliage and nicely fertile. [Sdlg (Cindys Tie Dye X South Bound Odyssey) X Get Jiggy] Ltd.
-
*GREYWOODS RIM RUMMY (Wilkinson 14) Tet Sev. 30.00 33" EM 6.5" Sometimes you wonder why you made a certain cross - but this time I'm glad I did! Victorian colors of butterscotch buff, this bloom has a large triangular raspberry applique, and can almost look like a reverse bitone at times when the petals roll back revealing the rose applique on the sepals - perhaps a complex overlaid color of buff yellow. The large gold center within the applique bleeds into a small green throat. Thin ruffled rims are raspberry rose. Great scapes and very fertile with some repeat this year. 3 branches, 18-24 buds. [Paradigm X Sdlg (Greywoods Sorbonne X Greywoods Tallyho)] Ltd
-
*GREYWOODS SCOOBY DUDE (Wilkinson 16) Tet 22.00 Dor. 34” 8” UF Crispate. This handsome dude has the attributes I like when hybridizing for spiders – nice form, many husky scapes that don’t lean and very showy in a clump. It’s a pinched crispate of lavender mauve pink with a yellow into a green center. A few blooms don’t crispate, yet the overall effect is one of movement in space. Better scapes and pinched form than it’s parents. 3 branches and 18+ buds. Great parents! Moderately pod fertile, good pollen. [Sdlg (Wigglesworth X Websters Pink Wonder) X Best of Both Worlds]
-
*GREYWOODS SHADOWBOX (Wilkinson 12) Tet 20.00 Dor. 29" M-MLa 5.5" Sure to delight, GW Shadowbox has been one of my favorite parents for double center halos. This flat clear rose mauve bloom has a frosty light yellow cream outer halo that surrounds a vivid yellow center applique. A nice green throat and crimped yellow gold rims complete the picture. It may not be a 'bagel', but this is a gorgeous good-doer in the garden - sinfully fertile! 3 branches and 20-26 well spaced buds. (Greywoods Java Illusion X Sdlg (Essence of Royalty X Bella Sera)]
-
*GREYWOODS SHADOW FOX (Wilkinson 14) Tet Sev. 20.00 Clp 30" EM 6.5" Color and vigor are the attraction here, and this is another great doer offering. Vivid cerise rose blooms with a small slate-cream halo. Lt. yellow wire rims and a yellow into a grass green throat. Lovely foliage, great parents and a carefree plant add to it's charm. Nicely fertile. 3 br, 17-23 buds. (Gentleman's Lady X Fringy) Clump
-
*GREYWOODS SKYFALL (Wilkinson 17) Tet Sev/Dor 35.00 36” M 7.5” Re. Every year I try to introduce a “garden club” type landscape hem, and GW Skyfall was it for 2017. A do-gooder in every way, this star-shaped bloom (a “variant” in the old days), is a soft pink lavender, with a large blue mauve pattern that feathers out in the afternoon. Big showy chartreuse center, also on the sepals. This tall beauty put up rebloom scapes in August here. 3 branches, 18-23 buds and fertile. [Solar Blue Angel X Sdlg (Bombay Dream X Greywoods Lofty Lizzie) A Few
-
GREYWOODS STRAY KATZ (Wilkinson 15) Dor/Sev Dip. S/O 26" EM 2.75-3" Out of Curt Turner's unusual MEMORIALIZE, this was our only dip in 2015. Definitely worthy of my 'Katz" line, it's a medium creamy yellow buff, marked with a lovely large slate blue ribbed eye, trimmed in raspberry. Blooms seem to dance in the garden. Nicely fertile. A gem. 3 branches and about 20 buds. Fertile. (HONKY TONK BLUES X MEMORIALIZE).
-
*GREYWOODS TOOTH BE TOLD (Wilkinson 13) Tet. Dor 20.00 33" M-LM 7.5" UF. Toothy hems are high on the must have lists right now, and this daylily holds it's own in this cateory. A bitone of yellow with pastel peach washed petals, it has yellow gold edges of knobs, hooks and teeth. Afternoon and heat lighten the peach wash. Good green throat, 3 br/ 18-24 buds. Husky scapes and nice foliage. Fertile both ways. [Sdlg (Forestlake Ragamuffin X Ruckus) X Outer Limits] Just a few

*** Please see Curt Turner’s 2017 Introductions Page. Just a few.
-
GREYWOODS WEE DAZZLE (Wilkinson 17) Dor Dip 16.00 Clp 26” M-LM 2.3” Double I don’t generally hybridize for small hems, and certainly not tiny doubles, but this little one is high on the cuteness factor! Measuring at 2 to 2.4”, it’s a trumpet shaped saturated, clean gold self. Doubling varies, and was about 60% last year, but 90% the year before! Either way, it deserves to be in the front border. 3-4 branches and 17-20 buds. Moderately fertile. [Malja (called Golden Zebra in the trade, has variegated foliage) X Sdlg (Greywoods River Dancer X Greywoods Dottie Do Little)] Clump
