2008 Introductions . . .
H. 'Big City Nights' (Pickles, 08) .................................................. d/f ... $125.00
28" SEv/D M 4 3/4". Tet.
An unusual dark plum-raisin-mulberry blend with a mauve watermark and a blend of
yellow-to-lime in the throat. The petals are finished with lavish white edges on the elegant
ruffles and all combine to add to 'Big City Nights' distinction. The substance is excellent
and the color stands up as well to the sun as any I have seen. The pollen is fertile, and
although I have set pods on it, it is not easy. 19 buds.
Seedling No. C0300 (Thunder And Lightning X Awesome Bob).

H. 'Calistoga' (Pickles, 08) .......................................................... d/f ... $150.00
27" SEv E Re 5 1/2". Tet.
Named for one of our favorite Napa Valley towns, 'Calistoga' is a full-formed soft
polychrome of pinks, creams and pale yellows with a yellow ruffled edge. The color is
darker at the petal edge and lightens as it approaches the large greenish yellow throat
ending in a green heart. The substance is excellent and it holds well in the sun. The 23
buds are carried on well branched scapes. A very vigorous grower, 'Calistoga' is both pod
and pollen fertile.
Seedling No. 0547 (Belle Cook X Candied Popcorn Perfection).

H. 'Fiftieth Wedding Anniversary' (Pickles, 08) ......................... d/f .. $125.00
27" SEv M Re 5 1/4" Tet
Jean and I celebrated our 50th on August 17, 2007. We wanted to commemorate the
occasion with a daylily and we chose this polychrome of tropical colors like the sunset of
our lives. A lush, full figured blossom with complicated subtle layering of peach, pink and
citrus colors. Heavy ruffling creates unusual twists and turns into the lime green throat.
Good substance with 20 plus buds. Fertile both ways.
Seedling No. 0491 [Doc Branch X (Sunshine Riches X Doc Branch)].
H. 'The Fringe Connection' (Pickles, 08) ................................... d/f ...$100.00
26" SEv M Re 5" Tet
Seedling 0360 (Edge Of Heaven X Forestlake Ragamuffin).
H. 'Jean Pickles' (Pickles, 08) ..................................................... d/f ... $200.00
30" SEv/D M 5 1/2" Tet.
Jean and I have finally agreed on a cultivar to carry her name. The flower's beautiful
symmetry, its round, re-curved form of crimson with a fuchsia overlay combine to create
a ripe cherry red. The feminine creamy edged ruffling makes a truly lovely flower. Holds
extremely well in the sun. This is one of our most heavily used pod and pollen parents and
you will see some of her kids highlighted in this catalog. 21 buds.
Seedling No. C0307 (Return To Paradise X Awesome Bob).
H. 'Joy Nolan' (Pickles, 08) ........................................................ d/f.... $100.00
28" SEv E Re 5" Tet.
The deep sculpting and extreme ruffles of this pale acacia self makes 'Joy Nolan' a
noteworthy and distinctive flower. Early in the cool bloom season, the flower will exhibit
more of a cinnamon color. The lime tinged throat is almost obscured with the beautiful
ruffles extending down into the heart. This flower is named for a friend at the
Chattanooga Choo-Choo who helped me look good in planning the Mid-Winter
Symposium all those years. The scapes carry 21 plus buds and is fertile.
Seedling No. 0504 (Beyond Riches X Bas Relief)









H. 'Yountville Inn' (Pickles, 08) .................................................. d/f... $150.00
32" SEv ML Re 6 1/2" Tet.
A beautifully re-curved polychrome with a distinctive pale blush of pink . . . like the sunset
when it slips over the mountains in Napa Valley. The wide heavy ruffles are highlighted in
yellow which echoes the citrus throat color that ends in a green heart. The 'Yountville
Inn' is one of our favorite places to stay in the middle of Napa Valley. 25 buds carried on
well branched tall scapes. Good substance holds well. Fertile both ways.
Seedling No. 04103 (Return To Paradise X Candied Popcorn Perfection).
H. 'Bodega Bay' (Pickles, 08) ...................................................... d/f ... $125.00
28" SEv M Re LFr 5 1/2" Tet.
Like a pink pearl, this polychrome has a tint of pink with a tinge of yellow over an ivory
base evoking memories of tropical dawns. With its triangular form, 'Bodega Bay' (on the
northern California coast) has ruffles with lemon edges and a bright citrus green throat
which radiates prominently out onto the petals. A kid of 'Horny Devil', the petal edges
carry a more sophisticated toothy edge. Fertile both ways. 25 buds.
Seedling No. 04108 (Edge Of Heaven X Horny Devil).
