SISTER OF MINE
(N. Ripley 2010) Dip (Barbara Mitchell x Fellow). Height 39", flower 8-8.5", M, 4 way branching, 20-28 buds, dormant. This gorgeous elegant flower's color is hard to describe. A mouth watering Pink Lavender with diamond dusting that abounds on the petals and sepals. The midrib is raised , the petals are pinched, and the sepals usually curl back some to give a perfect look to the flowers. The branching on Sister of Mine, is what I would like on all my plants. I use the scapes from Sister of Mine when I do my presentations to show perfect spacing. Sister of Mine is just stunning in the garden or in a vase. I have placed this flower on statues when we have garden tours. From its green throat to the tips of the petals and sepals the color is saturated and clean. A marvelous daylily that my only sister picked to be named for her. One of the most photographed flowers in my garden. It is a wonderful parent and fertile both ways. Double fan, $35.00.
