Thin Man (Trimmer 02) is registered at 12 inches. New this year, so it's blooming on Florida schedule, where it's midseason now.
Second new daylily, ALSO a Trimmer 02 registration, is Eskimo Kisses. This one's only 4 inches, but diamond dusted. Too bad both of them are Tetraploids- I can't use my remaining Lovely Margie (Dip) pollen on them.
But Happy Returns (Dip) just started blooming here finally- it's been blooming elsewhere in PA and NJ for a couple of weeks, I hear. So I put Lovely Margie pollen from its last bloom Sunday on this. If it gives me a reblooming striated daylily, that's worth the effort. I planted some open crosses this spring, and after experiencing how time-consuming that was, I am only going to use pollen from my striated and stippled cultivars this year.
