         *LOVE OF RUTH  
 
      (N. Ripley 2009) Tet. (seedling x seedling). Height 35",   flower 5.75", Dormant ML, 3 way branching 17-20 buds, and instant   rebloom in my garden. This is a very special flower and parent just like   her namesake my mother. Named for my mother who gave me my faith, love   for living and passion for sharing. My mother Ruth I. Ross Hicks was my   teacher, friend, and life model. The flower I named for my mother had to   be very special, recover well after dividing, displays unique color,   great parent, and rock solid in northern gardens. "Love of Ruth" is this   and more. Love of Ruth is a complicated flower with tatting of   pearlized multi-colored edge, stippling in the throat, wonderfully   appliqué large flower of excellent saturated colors. A fabulous parent   for appliquéd throats and multicolored edges with metallic sparkles. The   first daylily I have ever seen with this multi-colored metallic edge.   Very hardy in my zone 4/5 garden. Easy pod and pollen parent. Highly   recommend. SOLD OUT!
