'Snortin' Whiskey' (Fass, 2016)

2024 Update: No extra fans.

I brought this beauty home from the 2022 Region 1 conference. The form is fun so I can't wait to see this one in person!

2024: It has a very fun shape! It creates a nice contrast to the other flowers.

Notify Ground Crew (Hanson-C., 2000)

2024 Update: There are 5 double fans available for $10 each

I never planned on buying a regular yellow day lily until I saw this one. The blooms grow taller than me! I am going to cross this with everything and see what else I can get that towers.

Color: yellow self

Parentage: (Tetrinas Daughter × Tet. Purity)

scape height		72 in, (183 cm)
bloom size		5 in, (13 cm)
bloom season		Midseason
ploidy		Tetraploid
foliage type		Dormant
fragrance		Fragrant
bloom habit		Nocturnal
seedling #		TD TPUR

8/2020 Update: Notify Ground Crew put off a scape, but didn't have a lot of foliage to help support it. The scape fell over and the bend in the stalk caused the plant to abort it. No blooms for 2020, but I think it will do better next year.

2023 Update: As the root system has grown and there are multiple fans supporting the scapes, the flowers are almost as tall as I am at 5' 10". 

2024: It's in a nice large clump now. These are fantastic! I'm a tall woman and I love that these blooms are at eye level.
