H.  ‘PETER FERNYHOUGH’*

36” E Re Ex Ev 6”. This is a most extraordinary, deep wine-red self with triangular, yellow to lime green throat. Peter’s surname – is pronounced Fernyho, but in northern parts of England, it is pronounced Fernyhoff. A beveled black midrib and matching black veins add reinforcement to the flower’s substance. There is a blue sheen to the velvety texture. The EMO form is full, flat, and overlapped with medium pleats on the three inch wide petals. “Pete” was a dearly beloved member of the British Hemerocallis and Hosta Society, who did so much to publicize daylilies, and his beautiful garden was open to the public. Scapes have 4 – 5 way branching and are strongly recurrent. Very fertile, and an easy parent both ways. Barcelona Night X Diana Grenfell)
