4.5 x 26 M Re D SPIDER Ratio 4:1 Petal Width 1.25 Length 5. It is dark red purple with darker eye on recurved petals and quilled sepals surrounding a larger yellow green throat. Named for A.W. Shucks of Cornatzer, N.C. who came out of the boondocks in Region 15 and started sharing humor with folks in the daylily world with his “Kernels of Truth” philosophy. His witty & amusing stories are still a main inspiration for me writing humor and history articles in Georgia. This will be a daylily in years to come that you don't need a name tag by it. You will know it is as A.W. SHUCKS. It is a sneaky and deceptive spider. Sometimes the tips of the sepals will turn and show a yellow color. However it will always dazzle you just like A.W. does with his humor.
28 x 7 M Re Sev UNUSUAL FORM. Lilac with purple veining and a 2” green throat surrounded by yellow blending into a 3” center point of the petals and sepals.

The lilac plicata, stunning throat, and above average bud count and branching makes this daylily very distinguishing and is named for a wonderful daylily connoisseur and friend, Teri– (Tee) Money, from Headland, Alabama.
26 x 4.25 Em D Re . This lavender with a purple eye zone above large green throat that extends onto the sepals and petals is loaded with distinction.

I mentored her for several years as a youth in high school with the F.F.A. program and visited her garden twice in Delaware. Also, I would see her every year at the DVDS Show in Pennsylvania at Longwood Gardens where I am a member of that club and honorary member of Region 3. Getting to know her has been one of my highlights as a member of the AHS. What makes this daylily so unique is the form, color and eye pattern which all combines to create a very distinctive daylily.

(Tim Herrington, 2018) 2.5" X 21" Em Re D. This is a new type of miniature with old fashion genetic qualities. The canary yellow bloom is on a scape with 6 way branching averaging 30 buds that reblooms at least three times for me and sometimes is the last daylily blooming right before our frost. It has class and there's just no way I could deny its freedom from my seedling patch anymore. It is a cross of Little Gold Nugget (Texas Sunlight × Just For Breakfast) x Mighty Jim (Yellow Pygmy × Tinker Bell). It has old genes in it which comes from Tinker Bell. It performs well without too much fertilizer. In 2017 I put a lot of fertilizer to it and it had fasciated scapes about 40% of the time. This year I put just a little fertilizer on it and it did well and no fasciated scapes. Of course it had a good supply of water on it. Both years were equal with the great branching & bud count. I believe the breeding potential is great with this one by crossing it with the modern miniatures with various colors. On August 29th a rebloom scape had 6 open blooms on it. I call this a 'Renaissance miniature' because of its virtuoso performance. It is a dormant diploid with a trumpet form and has pinched petals most of the time which technically could perhaps make it a miniature unusual form.

When I crossed Joyce Lewis' intensely gold Texas Sunlight withmy Hey Bud, I was hoping to get a bold, small, unusual form with amazing branching and rebloom, and the Lord gave me just that. An added plus is the very large foliage of this flower. Last year it looked like corn growing in the garden and the foliage towered over a tetraploid large flower growing next to it! This flower is also special because Hans named this daylily. Children come up with the best names!

34" x 4 3/8", M RE SEV 4-5 branches (Green Derby x sdlg.) This is a pale pink blend with a huge chartreuse green throat bordered on the petals by a wine purple chevron eye. I was impressed with this one when it bloomed as just a first year seedling. I had ran out of room in my seedling beds after it sprouted from a seed, so I had to plant it at the edge of the property near some large hardwood trees. Needless to say, I was shocked when it bloomed only after a year, despite many roots from the competing hardwood trees. Gaudy Grasshopper is a very prolific rebloomer. It blooms from May to October here. It is difficult to write how many buds it has because it is a bud builder, meaning the scape at first may seem to only have a certain number of buds, but more and more buds subsequently appear on the scape. I have seen it have up to 50 buds on one scape.

This bright yellow gold self SPIDER attracts an enormous deal of interest throughout the bloom season and demonstrates purity of color, spectacular showiness and overall excellence because of the great bud count of at least 40 and at least 6 way branching. It has a spider ratio of 4:1. As a seedling this daylily won the coveted Best-in-Show Award at the Thomson Show in 2014 with 4 open blooms (pictured on the right) which is indeed quite feat. When I saw what this flower did as a seedling I couldn't help but nickname it 'Mighty Jim' because awesome is the one word that best describes this flower and awesome is the one word to best describe its namesake, Jim Mullins from Calhoun, Georgia. Jim is one of the most accomplished and talented flower show exhibitors in the AHS. For example in 2016 Jim won the AHS Triple Crown for winning three straight Best In Shows. MIGHTY JIM is a small spider that makes a large presence in your garden and in a daylily show.

(Herrington-H, 2015) 20 x6 1/2" EM RE EV 3 branches, 12 buds, One of my new goals in hybridizing has been to continue my mother's hybridizing program. She loved all shapes, sizes, and forms of daylilies, but when she passed away, she was trying to expand her large flower tetraploid hybridizing program. So, I have been incorporating some of her cultivars into my crosses with other varieties. Refined Elegance is one of those progenies. It is from her Pumpkin Pie Crust x Sweet Ole Man. I must also mention that many large flower tets do not grow well for us here, probably due to the cold winters and a milieu of other environmental factors. Refined Elegance, however, grows very well here and is quite vigorous. It has robust foliage and reblooms many times during the season. It is a blend of neon peach and salmon pink with gold, heavy piecrust edging with light mauve midribs and yellow green throat. Its unique color combination is very difficult to photograph, and photos don't do it justice. While many tets get rust, I have never seen this one with rust. Pod and pollen fertile.

Saturday is usually 'show date' in America. I know several male daylily folks that take daylily shows extremely serious. All of them have been known to be in their garden at 3:30 a.m. with a flashlight analyzing their potential blooms for the upcoming show later that morning. A wife of one of them told me once, 'Saturdays Are For The Boys' as she observed her husband and a bunch of other grown men intensely grooming their daylilies before a daylily show. She further eluded that they were just as passionate as a fanatic Georgia Bulldog fan being engulfed with the action between the hedges at Sanford Stadium in Athens on Saturdays. {This daylily is named in honor of these men} Here are the names of just a few from Georgia ; David Arthur, Tim Bell, David Bishop, Jack Brock, Claude Carpenter, James Fennell, Mark Franklin, Winfred Huff, Michael Land, Buddy Melvin, Perry McAllum, James Mullins, Bill Waldrop, Joe Scott Watson, Stan Woo, and Chip Wood. Attention readers of this description: There are other names not listed from Georgia and throughout the United States and you or your spouse will know if you are one of the 'Saturdays Are For The Boys'. The color is a sensational dark plum purple with enhanced veining on the petals with a chartreuse throat that is also extending outward on the sepals for a very distinctive effect giving the bloom a beautiful burst effect radiating outward. You can see a color white at the end of the burst entwined into the dark plum purple color. The bloom has overlapped petals and sepals that are recurved. The flowers seem to be illuminated from within. The crisp substance and deep color hold remarkably well in the hottest sun. The foliage is arching and a fast increaser. 2018 Achievement Medal Winner.

(Herrington-H, 2015) 20"x6", EM RE EV VFr (Blackberry Cupcake x Mary Lois Burgess) One day as I was walking through the garden, I tried to figure out where the smell of perfume was coming from. Soon, I realized that the scent was coming from Scented Sensibility. It is the most fragrant daylily I have ever encountered in my 33 years of growing daylilies.
