*GREYWOODS ON THE FENCE

The 6” cream buff blooms have a large bold, black plum eye and a vivid grass green throat. A small black plum edging surrounds the petals. The very flat blooms fade to cream white by afternoon, and the eye seems to darken, offering a bold contrast of colors. 3 branches, 25+ buds. Great parent for showy eyes.

*GREYWOODS ROSEBERRY SORBET
(Wilkinson 00) Dor. 34” LM 5 3/4” 16.00
Color is the emphasis here. This beautifully formed velvety flower is a rich hot raspberry with a painted on red eyezone, into a small yellow to green throat. Fluted and recurved by PM. A hint of a violet midrib adds style. (MARISKA X WINEBERRY CANDY) -
*GREYWOODS SANTA FE BOOGIE
(Wilkinson 06) Dor. 34” M. 6” 15.00

It’s a clear, round orange peach with a hot JANICE BROWN type of red eye, outlined deeper red and a ruffled red border. A deep grass green throat and the hint of a violet midrib add to the charm.

NOT another cream daylily you say? Yes but…….this is a consistant Northern hardy ruffled beauty with Southern looks! Nicely crimped and ruffled light yellow softens to cream by day’s end displaying the yellow-green in the ruffled rims. 3 top branches, 24+ buds.

(Wilkinson 08) Dor. 32” M-LM 6” Ext. 16.00
The name Sorbonne was also from a former Theological College in Paris around the 13th Century, and was named after Robert de Sorbon. This plant certainly has a peaceful quality to it.

*GREYWOODS SPIDERS LAIR

Stipples on a spidery STAR! The 6”+ blooms have a peach bronze base that is flecked overall with rose stipples and a rose eye. The rims contrast with a dusty-rose border that throws knobs and teeth later in the season. Pretty buds. All this on a thin star with good foliage and 3 branches.

*GREYWOODS SPIRIT HAWK
(Wilkinson 07) Dor. 39” EM-LM Ext. 7.5”-8” 20.00 Clp In keeping with my resolve to introduce only good garden hems, and not just pretty faces, this daylily certainly fits the mold. The big flat to recurved thin stars are a deep straw yellow with a jagged brick rose triangular eye, and a green throat. Blooms for a long period, with nice foliage and strong scapes. It’s mostly fertile, and has 3 br. & 24 buds. Great to use with Southern spiders! (EYES A BLUE X GREYWOODS LOFTY LIZZIE) Clump -
GREYWOODS STARGAZEY
(Wilkinson 06) Sev. 39” M. 9” Dip S/O
The Stargazey is a pub in a novel from one of my favorite mystery writers, Martha Grimes. This is what I’d probably call a big fat spidery UF. At 9”+, it starts the day as a deep violet purple star, and progresses to a red purple by afternoon. The flower is nicely formed with a big yellow into a green star center. Good 4 low branches. (MIGHTY HIGHTY TIGHTY X JANS TWISTER) X PLANET MAX] -

Almost a bitone, it's a silvery blue lavender STAR with a subtle slate blue band and a yellow into a tiny green throat. Tons and tons of scapes on a clump with 3 branches and 18-24 buds. Extremely pretty at twilight when it glows a silver lavender (SWALLOW TAIL KITE X ON TO SOMETHING)

This landscaper is a bright clean lemon yellow STAR, with a heavy green radiating center, moderate ruffles and twisted sepals. Even the buds and the backs of the petals are saturated green. A valuable hem for green in spiders. 25-32 buds, 3 to 4 low branches. [(GW LOFTY LIZZIE X (SDLG 94-107 X TECHNY PEACH LACE)] Clump -

Blooming into August here in MA, this is the plant to use for spider borders and that special color. 24+ buds, and very commanding in the garden.

*GREYWOODS TARDY ANNIE (Wilkinson 10) Sev LM 27" 20.00
Round, ruffled and a dormant too - northern hardiness with a southern charm. Wow! This flat 6.25" bloom is a medium pink with only a hint of some peach to the pink tone. Bubbly, ruffled wide yellow edges compliment the yellow gold halo and makes this a very showy flower! Bloomed until Aug. 20th here with pretty foliage. Green throat, 3 top branches and 18-25 buds.

A big yellow center blends into a cream halo and joins the whitish midribs. Vivid green throat. An unusual color to bring into the DIPLOID spider program. (TRAHLYTA X PINK SUPER SPIDER) CLUMP -
GREYWOODS TOOTSIE TWO SHOES
(Wilkinson 06) Dor. 25” LM 4” Dbl 15.00 Clp DIP. My mom, who’s nickname was Tootsie, loved pink hems, and was a wonderful dancer, so I named this frilly pink DOUBLE after her. Double almost 85% of the time, this is a happy, vigorous well proportioned plant. It’s a creamy pink, almost polychrome, with a yellow halo, a faint rose band, and serrated rims. It’s a lovely gem for the front of the border. (EXOTIC ECHO X LAGNAIPPE) CLUMP -
GREYWOODS WILD HORSEFEATHERS

A real standout in the garden & producing some great spidery kids. (GW GREAT DANA X (WIREGRASS GREENSTAR X NAVAJO PRINCESS). -

A 7 1/2” long pealed hardy, late out of TET SPINDAZZLE that sets pods. A bitone of medium coral peach with showy gold midribs and golden yellow sepals touched coral.
