Late September Reblooming Daylilies- PA/NJ
This is Betty Harwood's (1999) 'Autumn Oddity; this photo is from GSDG president Dick Dardas in his garden, but it was also blooming in Cynthia & Kevin Ruddy's garden at Answered Prayers Daylily Farm in Howell, NJ last weekend when they hosted the Garden State Daylily Growers club auction
. Our club has among its members probably the most Harwood cultivars outside Betty's own garden, now located at her daughter Janet's place in Pawling, NY. In the near future I will post a list of sources for pre-2005 registrations on the GSDG website www.gsdaylily.org under the LINKS section.
Apps' Red Hot Returns has just started reblooming for me in Philadelphia in the past week, but even more impressive than the bloom is the great foliage condition in a bed with no irrigation and next to no rain for the last month. It is part of Centerton Nursery's "Happily Ever Appster" series which can be found at the better independent nurseries.
Sunset Returns is another "Appster"
with good diamond dusting. It doesn't photograph well, but it shows up like little sand grains on this pic.

Finally, one of the best vintage rebloomers, Little Wine Cup (Carter & Powell 69). The foliage doesn't hold up like Red Hot Returns, but not bad for a 38-year old.
