POWER LIPSTICK

(Kirchhoff) 29" E Re Ex Ev 6" This one's awesome blockbuster,
and explodes in a singularly pure, intense, clear, red color. Seldom
do we find so clear a primary red color in daylilies. The form is full,
wide, overlapped, flat and somewhat recurved with a tiny serrated ruffled
edge. As the heat intensifies, it rolls back. Either way, it's a flower
of peerless beauty. A showy, large, triangular green throat and deeper
red, triangular halo, dominate the flower. Often the points of the throat's
triangle pattern peeks out onto the sepals - forming a six-pointed star
on a red field. Texture is smooth. Substance and color are crisp up
to 90+ degrees. This was Curt Hanson's favorite red in this garden in
2000. The strongly recurrent scapes have 3-way branching and 17-25 buds.
Fertile both ways. Very limited with not enough to go around. [((Ring
