Mike Huben's Introductions
	Vanilla Gorilla	VANILLA GORILLA (Huben 08) 44” M 8.0” Dor Dip UFO ( Jerry's Whirligig X Magic of Oz ) Cream Self. Seedling number: MH0168 This daylily is named for Snowflake, the albino gorilla, who recently died. This UFO measures about 8 inches, and has been drawing a great deal of attention at Harmon Hill Farm over the past four years. 5 to 6 way branching, 20 to 24 buds. Pod and pollen fertile. This was a fun cross for Mike, partly to test the pod fertility of the enormous Jerry's Whirligig, and partly to see what happens in the way of large offspring. Like Jerry's Whirligig, VANILLA GORILLA has wide petals in a cascade form: it reminds Mike of knuckle walking with the massive arms of a gorilla. Now, you could say some daylilies knuckle walk because the scapes fall, but VANILLA GORILLA's scapes stay upright. Mike is so focussed on his reblooming goals, that he initially ignored this one, and it was rescued by Carl. Introductory price is $75 for a single fan. Available only through Harmon Hill Farm. $75sf

	Early And Often	EARLY AND OFTEN (Huben 01) 26” E Rebloomer 4.0” Dor Dip (Sunny Honey X (Three Seasons x Tuscawilla Tranquility)) Peach Polychrome. Honorable Mention award 2006 At last: a northern rebloomer that isn't yellow or gold. The heart of Mike's breeding program, producing a great diversity of seedlings, many of them rebloomers. Very rapid increase. Tested in WV for two seasons and found highly rust resistant. Early And Often was Mike's first introduction, and has lived up to its promise as a continuous rebloomer, the only plant in the garden that blooms non stop from early July until frost. Some growers report as many as seven sets of scapes per season. Unlike other diploid rebloomers, it is a color clarifier and readily gives up the melon tones in seedlings. $25

	Flowers Of Sulphur	FLOWERS OF SULPHUR (Huben 03) 20” E Rebloomer 4.25” Dor Dip Vfr Ext ((Monica Marie x Stella De Oro) X Spring Frolic) Yellow Self. Why another yellow rebloomer? Well, it's a pure sulphur-yellow self, all the way into the throat, much bigger than most others, strongly diamond dusted, opens well, and has a delightful short stature. Only 9 buds (2 more than STELLA DE ORO), but routinely blooms at least two sets of scapes. Breeds rebloomers, and carries melon. $10
