MARY LOIS BURGESS

(Kirchhoff) 28" EM Re Ex Sev 5". This beautiful new daylily is named for a fine gardener and daylily connoisseur, from Covington, GA. Her beautiful garden is named the Alcovy Daylily Farm where she and her husband, Jesse, grow a huge modern daylily collection to near-perfection. Its color is lavender rose pink with a deeper halo and yellow to green throat. A lovely, full, petaloid style double and an EMO, the extra petaloids are prominently sculptured and provide wonderful extra puffs of color. Grace Stamile declared it her favorite double while visiting in 1998. The texture is smooth and the color and substance hold well in the sun. The flowers finish the day with undiminished beauty. Scapes are very well branched and strongly recurrent. Pollen is fertile. Pods reluctant.
