Elmer Duplantis

J. Goudeau Sdg#

5, 28, Tet, Eve, Em, Re (Clothed in Glory x JT Davis X Sdg)

Elmer Duplantis did it all for Region 13. Retired from the petrolium industry he traveled the globe in the exploration and recovery of oil. He carried that work ethic into the daylily world with his tireless efforts and generosity. He left me big shoes to fill as RVP and I miss his guidance and friendship.

If you liked Clothed in Glory you will love this seedling. Elmer Duplantis is a medium lavender with a darker, slightly feathered watermark. The bubbly gold edge appears chartreuse on rebloom and does not hang up on cool mornings. (Louisiana cool) A great parent Elmer Duplantis is fertile both ways. I am introducing this special flower a year early so supplies are limited. $150 SF

                                   Claire Fontenot

J. Goudeau Sdg# 5-10-17-03

5.25, 27, Tet, Sev, M, Sfr, M, Re

It is said that great things come in small packages. Claire Fontenot epidermises the word volunteer. Mrs. Clair is a wonderful lady who donates many countless hours to the Botanical Garden of Baton Rouge, teaches master gardeners classes and in her “spare time” helps out the Baton Rouge Daylily Society and area growers. She is an inspiration to me with her boundless energy and positive outlook on life.

Claire Fontenot is the best branched and budded flower I have introduced to date.

Claire Fontenot has an alabaster base color with muted grape eye and edge. The large chartreuse green throat really tantalizes the imagination. Even though I am going to introduce this flower with a bud count of 25 and four way branching I have counted as many as 42 buds and six to seven way branching. On top of all these great attributes, Claire Fontenot bloomed into September this past season. These results were without the benefit of performance enhancing drugs, special fertilizer, extra water or a green house. Claire Fontenot is lined out in the same beds as all the other seedlings. Demand is high and quantities limited. $100 SF

The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers

J. Goudeau Sdg# 27-16

6, 34, Tet, Eve, M, Re

The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers are Tiggers are wonderful things and this is one wonderful flower. The Wonderful Things about Tiggers is my first introduction that can be considered an unusual form. This orangey red flower has a darker eye and green throat have petals that pinch consistently. This flower sets pods without the benefit of shade. I am excited about some of the results I received crossing Thin Man (Trimmer) to this flower. The seedlings have carried on the unusual form and elongated petals. Only about 5% of my Program is dedicated to unusual forms and spiders so I needed flowers I could set pods on every time. Well it took me several years of trial and error but The Wonderful Thing about Tiggers has filled that need. Great rebloom and good performer. $75 SF

Blackwater Captian Jack

Ginger Goudeau Sdg# 02-5-34

4.75, 28,  Tet, Sev, Sfr, Em, Re

Blackwater Captain Jack our first introduction from ‘Blackwater Washout’ (J Goudeau 06) this flower is a fantastic parent that I graciously allowed Ginger to claim as her own. Of course if it had the bud count and branching it has shown this year I definately would have introduced it myself. (6/1/08) BCJ had a six way branch with a budcount of 28! Blackwater Captain Jack, in my opinion, is Ginger’s best introduction to date and I am sure you will be pleased with it’s performance. Blackwater Captain Jack is a saturated medium plum color with a “Munson” washed watermark and matching edge. 

A good garden flower as well as a hybridizing flower. $85 SF

Piglet

J. Goudeau Sdg# 6-7-24-3

5, 38, Tet, Sev, Mla, Re

Piglet reminds me of Winnie the Pooh s best friend. As you can tell, I watched way too many cartoons with my children when they were growing up. I would not trade those moments for the world. Winnie the Pooh was my daughter s favorite when she was a toddler. I still enjoy the memories when I see a cartoon character or hear one of the songs. Piglet is a baby ribbon pink with a lipstick rose eye. Measuring 36” tall Piglet is taller than most of my introductions to date. Piglet is a rapid increaser and a very good garden flower.  $65 SF

Blackwater Firetruck

J. Goudeau Sdg# 6-7-4-3

5.5, 29, Tet, Dor, M, Re

Blackwater Firetruck is one of the first hard dormant flowers I have introduced. When this one first bloomed, I was so excited that I had a gold edge on a red flower. Then of course everyone else beats me to introduction. Because of the dormancy I have has trouble getting enough stock to introduce. If you are looking for a red dormant flower with a wire gold edge that sets pods and reblooms then Blackwater Firetruckis the flower for you. Branching a bud count are moderate but I am hopeful it will improve in a colder climate. $125.00 SF limited

Tiger Bait

4.75, 18, Tet, Sev, M, Re

Tiger Bait is one of those flowers that all the garden visitors ooow and ahhh over. Tiger Bait is a creamy pale yellow with a dark purple eye and edge. This flower’s deep green throat is an added bonus. A front row plant, Tiger Bait increases quickly to put on its summer show. $45 SF

Bare Necessities

J. Goudeau 28-10-03

4, 25, Tet, Sev, Sfr, Mla, Re

Bare Necessities actually Bear Necessities from the movie the “Jungle Book” but as anyone that knows me I like bare better than bear! Bare Necessities is simply a beautiful flower. It has a nice scape with four to five way branching and decent bud count of 20. I am going to call Bare Necessities more of a polychrome than yellow or pink but I have noticed that depends on soil conditions since my three images of this seedling look a shade different. A good parent setting pods easily without the benefit of shade. $65 SF

Blackwater Kiss This

J. Goudeau 6-5-7-3

4, 32, Tet, Sev, Em, Sfr, Re

Blackwater Kiss This J I mean my ruby red lips for those who have not heard the country music song. Blackwater Kiss This has a Sherbet base color with a huge kiss of brilliant red making up the eyezone. For a smallish flower the scape is very tall standing well above the foliage. The branching and bud count are not what I would like but acceptable with the rebloom.

$45 SF

Pink Elephants on Parade

J. Goudeau Sdg# 6-6-1-21

6, 27, Tet, Sev, Sfr, M, Re

Pink Elephants on Parade is a large pastel pink to lavender flower with a slightly darker edge. A seedling from Tet Ultimate Perfection breeding this one is a good parent. With three to four way branching and a bud, count of fifteen to twenty Pink Elephants on Parade provides a nice show. $60 SF

Pirates Booty

J. Goudeau Sdg# 6-4-9-3

5, 29, Tet, Eve, Sfr, M, Re

Pirates Booty is a difficult flower to photograph and even more difficult to describe. I guess cerise would be the best descriptor for this very nice flower. Pirates Booty stands well above the evergreen foliage and in very saturated and clear which is why it is so difficult to photograph. Pirates Booty does have a fine line of gold making this one worth the search. $65 SF
