All Lynn Stoll Introductions Thru 2011

REMEMBERING RUTH 

Dip 26-28” 5” x 2½” x 1⅝”  Dormant.  Late Midseason;   Ruffled cream pink deepening toward ¼” rose pink edge; light yellow watermark above small deep green throat.  15-18 buds.  Slightly fragrant.  Very consistent.  Fewer buds than I would like, but it increases rapidly into a nice floriferous clump, and the late season bloom is a welcome bonus.  Named for my mother, Ruth Lockard.  Fertile both ways.  (Big Snowbird x Beautiful Edgings)     SF  $75.00

ETHEL LINDER STOLL  

Tet 28” 5½-6” Semi-evergreen.             Midseason; 25 buds.  Pale cream pink with knobby gold edge, deep green throat.  Fertile both ways.  Named for Barry’s mother, a fair-skinned pale blonde with a delicate appearance but great inner strength.  The flower resembles its pollen parent Mandalay Bay Music, but the Moldovan bloodlines give it great vigor.  Fertile both ways.  (Pretty Woman x Mandalay Bay Music)     SF  90.00

CARAMEL STRUDEL  

Tet 26”  6-6½”  Dormant.  Late Midseason.  Deeply ruffled light golden yellow ground with variable brushing of honey-caramel at the edges.  Yellow to deep green throat.  Reminds us of a lightly browned honeyed pastry fresh from the oven.  Good branching and bud count.  Needs hot weather to open flat.  Fertile both ways.  (America’s Most Wanted x Smuggler’s Gold)     SF  70.00

LURKING TIGER  

Tet  28”  5½-5¾  Dormant to semi-evergreen.  Midseason to late midseason.  Light to medium bronze-yellow with a red eye and purplish red edge, along with a fine gold outer rim.  Chartreuse to deep green throat.  The name reflects both rich flashes of color in the jungle and the subtle overall quality of this cultivar, which sneaks up on the observer.  Extremely vigorous, good branching and bud count, dependable opener.  Fertile both ways.  (El Desperado x Sherry Lane Carr)     SF 60.00

PINK LIMOGES

Tet  26”  6-6½”  Dormant to semi-evergreen.  Midseason.  Beautifully formed round and ruffled clear true pink with a nice gold edge and wide petals.  Chartreuse to deep green throat.  Consistently opens flat like a fine china dinner plate, hence the name.  Good branching and bud count.  A sib to PEACH TAFFY – slower to increase but a rounder and wider flower in a clear pink.  Very fertile both ways.  Spring or fall delivery.  (Come with Me x Wisest of Wizards)     SF  100.00

REMEMBERING MICHAEL  

Tet  30”  5½-6”  Semi-evergreen.  Early midseason.  A dynamic gold-edged cherry red with a vibrant presence in the garden.  Named for Barry’s late father Michael Stoll, whose dynamic personality is reflected in this excellent cultivar.  Informal garden name was “Cheery Cherry” because of its overall impression.  Yellow to deep green throat.  Early season flowers show stippling on petals.  Excellent branching and bud count.  Very fertile both ways.  (Better than Ever x America’s Most Wanted)     SF  90.00

ARMS WIDE OPEN

Tet  30”  5½ x 3 1/8 x 2”  Dormant to semi-evergreen.  Late midseason.  Pretty ruffled and textured light pink blend; the somewhat triangular flower always seems to have its arms wide open to greet you in the garden.  Light rose pink halo, lighter midribs; attractive bright green throat sets off the petal color well.  Very vigorous, with good increase.  20-25 buds.  Performed well at the 2007 AHS National Convention in Minnesota.  Sets pods, but rarely finishes them.  Limited number of plants available for 2011.  (Druid’s Chant x Noble Lady)     SF  60.00

BING CHERRY BINGE

Tet 28”  5¾ x 3 x 1 7/8”  Semi-evergreen.  Early Midseason.  Ruffled and diamond-dusted rich Bing cherry purple with lighter midribs, black-purple halo, white edge, chartreuse green throat.  First selected for its clear purple color and because unlike many purples, it opens well, even on very cool mornings.  Growth habit has gotten better and better every year over the six years we’ve observed it in the garden.  25-28 well-placed buds and excellent rebloom when established; a mature clump bloomed for over 2 months in 2004.  Hardy and very vigorous, with good increase.  Fertile both ways.  Only 6 plants available for 2011.   (Evening Enchantment x Wisest of Wizards)     SF  100.00
