| * 'Move Over Dolly' - Sev., Fr., EM., 28 in. sc.; 6.5 in. fl., 3 way branching with 21 buds. I have included two separate images of ‘Move Over Dolly’ in the catalog as she is a wonderful large golden yellow, heavily ruffled flower with a striking green throat for approximately 75% of the season. Heavy substance and a soft silky appearance further enhance the already beautiful flowers. As the weather changes to high humidity and heat a dramatic change occurs in the flower appearance. A truly unique and distinct flower shows off her full potential. Every garden visitor must be told ‘hands off’, as the temptation to touch ‘Move Over Dolly’ is so overwhelming. I myself had a difficult time keeping my hands off the flower. Extra petal tissue forms near the end of each petal, folding back along the sides of the mid-rib, displaying mountainous like bumps. The term mid-rib double, or butterfly wings is often used when extra tissue forms along the mid-ribs - however, I think we need a new term to describe this type of tissue enhancement. I would like to thank the members of the AHS E-mail robin who kindly submitted over 2000 suggested names for this daylily. Ultimately, we went with the original garden name. ‘Move Over Dolly’ as the name, because we felt this appropriately describes her unique features. ‘Nature's Showman' x ‘Darla Anita'. |
