Jan, I would bet you got the original plant from Debbido (Spradlin) or her dad, Tony. She gave me some of it, too. The last I knew, Tony's computer was down for the count. I haven't seen Debbi post in some time. Search for her on the Alabama Forum and give her a shout. She lives out Hwy 78 W toward Minor, outside of Birmingham. After every swap I swear I'm going to set up a Excel spreadsheeet to track all my swaps but I never do it. I depend on my aging memory. - Terry

Thanks bunches Terry...I'll see if I can find Debbie. I think you're correct about the trade...but, my brains "spreadsheet" doesn't always work either!! :)

i can't remember which daylilly farm but last year i purchased this daylilly during the headland daylilly festival from one of the tour houses. if you've never been try and check it out this year. 2008 was my first time and i really enjoyed it. the varieties offered are mindboggling

Caroleena, can you share more info on this or point me in the right direction where I might obtain info.
Where is it help and when for starters?

Well, I am adding a link to the Headland daylilly festival. One place says June 6 and another says June 7. There is contact info. Click on the the drop down links: community play links daylily and you will eventually get there.

Here is a link that might be useful: Headland Daylily Festival Info

as i get any more info i'll post it. the clumps were huge and very healthy

Thanks for the info Terry and Carleena....I'd sure love to make the festival this year. I've got a friend down in Opp, so I may see if she'd like to go. The garden tour would be so much fun too!! I've purchased dl's from a couple of those gardens on the tour and sure would love to see them in person.

I too am looking for Daylily, 'Crimson Tide' to purchase or trade. Any help, Greatly appreciated!

I have exhausted the web for any reference to hemerocallis/daylily 'Crimson Tide' and it just doesn't exist. Not only that, but the verbiage is a licensed trademark of the University and if anything bears those two words, believe me it would be highly visible and raking in royalties for both the hybridizer and the Capstone.

I, too, attended a swap around the same time, and received a daylily called 'Crimson Pirate'. I always believed it came from a trader in the Montgomery, AL area. It is one of the most floriferous and longest-blooming daylilies in my yard.

If this is what anyone wants please contact me, 'cause I'm afraid 'Crimson Tide' doesn't exist, at least not in the daylily family.

And no, it didn't rain....that's water from the hose :-(

I received Crimson Pirate as a freebie from Gilbert Wilde last year. It did not bloom last year, but has been blooming for about 3 weeks now. It is not the usual style of daylily that I choose and it is different from my other daylilies. I really like it. Glad to know it is floriferous and long-blooming.

I'm wondering if it's "Bama Bound" , a beautiful daylily that someone shared with me when I first moved to Alabama several years ago.
