"Mama's Cherry Pie" (Faye O. Shooter, 1999)

Mama's Cherry Pie is my website (and Facebook) cover girl right now. Depending on the weather conditions, she looks a little different each day; but always beautiful. This daylily is reminiscent of cherry pie and ice cream on a hot summer day.

Mama's Cherry Pie came to my garden as a division given to me by my friend Roger. Roger has been a constant inspiration to me. He is a daylily judge and also hybridizes new cultivars. Roger owns Eastbrook Gardens in La Crosse, with his wife Carol. They grow 800+ named cultivars in a naturalized setting that should be featured in Better Homes and Gardens. I can literally spend *hours* walking around looking at all the different plants. Roger has hundreds of hybridized seedlings that he's growing on and watching carefully to see if they warrant registration. Every time I go to their garden I marvel at all he has done.

If there's a worthy daylily, Roger knows about it. I'm so happy he shared Mama's Cherry Pie with me.

Love Mama's Cherry Pie. It is so true that there are many looks to this cultivar.
I've been making lots of trips to Isle La Plume with "yard waste"--clippings from 15 apple trees and much garden waste which also included waste from three "weed" trees removed. Have dug many garden weeds, but so much more to do. The rain is needed, but has complicated our garden work.

Daffs, hyacinths, and a few tulips are in bloom. The three magnolias are ready to pop. French pussy willows are in full bloom. First mowing of front yard is done.
