Lullabye Baby and Mini Pearl.

Poor Mini is in a hosta garden in mostly shade, but sends up good blooms. This year I need to move her though as she' not showing her true beauty

Lullabye is always a welcome addition.

Lulaby Baby was the first daylily I bought for my new house with my DH! Love the color!

Couple of beauties, Jane... thanks

Is that a price tag hanging from Minnie Pearl?

Gee.........can't imagine who!?

Very pretty, Jane!

Michael, You got me! I peeked at this thread this morning and scrolled back to look at the pic. It went right over my head.

The true name of the first daylily is not Minnie Pearl but Mini Pearl. Thanks for sharing it OED. It was introduced in 1983 by W. Jablonski. I need to move mine too. It's surrounded by Monarda and Phlox.

You know Pat? I swear that's what the tag said, but when I did a search today, b/c I'm never sure I spell it correctly and always check my notes (but today was too lazy

) I noticed it's spelled both ways there too. Depending on the site. So the correct spelling is Mini Pearl, not Minnie Pearl, correct? I'll change it if you say so, b/c I've had a few years, and don't believe I've got the tag yet. Thanks for letting me know

Jane, I researched it when I received it from OED. I also found results with both names. I guess it is sold under both names. If you google, Mini gets twice as many results as Minnie. I seem to remember reading an article somewhere that said it was not named for Minnie Pearl. I can't find it now. According to Tinker's Gardens Daylily Database, it is Mini Pearl. At Tinker's, if you don't spell the name correctly you don't get results. I guess I should have said, "According to Tinker's Database the true name is Mini Pearl."

I just found this:

http://www.ahsregion2.org/newssp2003.pdf

Scroll down to page 11 and on the right side it says, "The Hite Award was given posthumously to Walter Jablonski, who hybridized STELLA D'ORO, MINI PEARL and many others."

Further down in the same newsletter is an interview with Walter Jablonski on May 18, 1982. It talks about a mini daylily that he planned to introduce as Minnie Pearl. Could that be a misspelling?

Geesh that's no help! Who knows! Hmmmmm..I'll read the article and then do some research too. Be nice to know though! Thanks for the site and info!

There must be some place where you can check daylily registrations or introductions.

wishiwere · Post by **wishiwere** » Jul 19, 2006 1:15 pm

Yeah, most likely is, but dang! I'm having enough trouble keeping up with the daily post on here and then these grandkids! WHEW! I'm a tuckered ol'granny today already!

Patrushka · Post by **Patrushka** » Jul 19, 2006 1:46 pm

Jane, I didn't mean "you" literally. I meant you, me, or anybody.

Annie · Post by **Annie** » Jul 19, 2006 8:37 pm

Oh I love the color on that!!!

wishiwere · Post by **wishiwere** » Jul 19, 2006 10:01 pm

Thanks Annie.

Yes, Pat, I understood that, was just in the middle of a one minute break from the persons of small persuasion that have invaded our house and yard!

Just a wee bit on the tired side today

Jane, I just googled for "Daylily Registrations" and found this.

http://www.cyberlily.com/DaylilySearch/

It gives Mini Pearl as the registered name of Jablonski's daylily. Check it out when you have time.

wishiwere · Post by **wishiwere** » Jul 19, 2006 10:47 pm

Awwww

You're too sweet to search that out! Thanks so much! Everyone is in bed, so I'll go check it out and change the name I have on it's file too. I really appreciate it!
