Big Honking Thora the Viking, Jones-L., ‘20

$ 75.00 Double Fan

Tetraploid, Semi-Evergreen 42” EM 7 ½”

Lovely and enormous yellow gold ruffles with the flower color of peach having a lovely pink overlay enhanced by diamond dusting and the overall color turns lighter as the day progresses.
 
This daylily does not hang up and at times has polytepaled providing the flower with quite a dramatic showing.  The branching is 3 way with a 13 to 15 bud count and the scape is just a little bit thicker at the base, but it is not noticeable due to the foliage.  The throat is green and there is a light fragrance.
 
Pod and pollen fertile, but pods can be reluctant to set. 
    
*** The name of this daylily was chosen by Louise Plourde, a member of the Nova Scotia Daylily Society who won the raffle for naming rights at their 2019 summer meeting.  ‘Big Honking Thora the Viking’ is such an amusing name I knew there had to be a story behind it.  Here is Louise’s explanation. “ The name Thora the Viking is for my loving partner Joan who was given that moniker years ago when we started clearing our 8 acre country property with hand saws and axes.  Now we use cross cut saws and a tractor named Thora jr.  As a funny footnote we did our ancestry DNA research a couple of years ago and Joan does have some “Viking” in her, 1%!”
