One of my favorite daylily colorations are blends. The exquisite colors in these flowers are often hard to describe accurately because they are so seamlessly blended. You can see from the above photo of Techny Peace how the colors seem to shimmer into each other. An established clump is absolutely stunning, as my Techny Peace was last summer. This plant also has 'diamond-dusting' (a glitter-like quality on the petal surface). And to top it off, Techny Peace is a late-bloomer that started on July 30th and continued blooming abundantly until September 4th this year.
Techny Peace was hybridized by Brother Charles Reckamp, who was a member of the Society of the Divine Word missionaries in Techny, Illinois, but was also a horticulturist. He worked on the Society's farm and helped develop a market garden business to help the brothers be self-sufficient. He developed more than 140 varieties of daylilies, all dormants that withstood harsh Midwestern winters. Brother Reckamp passed on in 1996, but his beautiful creations continue to grace our gardens and make us happy.
