1945 to 1949

Daylilies from the late 1940's, such as CHALLENGER (Stout, 1949) shown above. PENELOPE (Taylor, 1949)  It is a pretty plant, but is fussy and slow to increase.  I wonder if it has H fulva ROSEA in it?

MING TOY (Wheeler, 1947).  This Daylily was hybridized in Florida, and registered as an Evergreen, but here it goes Dormant every winter.  It ended up dwindling away.

PINK BOWKNOT (Taylor, 1948).  A vigorous Evergreen.  The flower lives up to its name, looking much like an old-fashioned pink bowknot.  PINK BOWKNOT has a good bud count. PRIMA DONNA  (Taylor, 1946).  It is thought that this may be a hybrid between two species forms.   PRIMA DONNA is probably the first "diamond dusted" Daylily.  This means that the blooms sort of "glitter" in the sun. This one also started dwindling, and an armadillo finished it off.
