Early 1960's

These are some Daylilies of the early 1960's, such as the great WILLOW (Russell, 1960) shown above.

Isn't this a pretty thing?  It is GOLDEN GIFT (Wild, 1963).  GOLDEN GIFT is one of the best Daylilies that I grow. The bloom cycle is long for both first bloom and rebloom.

GOLDEN GIFT again, but this time, with a polytepal bloom.  This Daylily does sometime have polytepal blooms, especially on rebloom.  GOLDEN GIFT is fragrant.

GRACE MURPHY (Sutton, 1962).  This is a pretty flower, some scent, and dates to the year in which I was born. Sadly, it had the habit of pulling itself so deep into the ground that it would smother itself.
