This one of the last Lamberts registered and the delicious colors on this are sensational! NOT WIDELY GROWN!

(Roberts-N., 1994) Height 34", bloom 7", season M, Dormant, Diploid, UFo Crispate, Purple self with green throat.
(Damsel in Distress X Cerulean Star)

One of Ned's first intro's, it's also one of his best. Extremely consistant and hardy even under my killer evergreen tree. It may be older, but it's a keeper!

(Roberts-N., 2005) Height 36", bloom 7", season M, Dormant, Diploid, 24 buds, 4 branches, Unusual Form Crispate, Dark purple self above green throat.

(Lachman, 1983) Height 28", bloom 6.5", season MLa, Dormant, Tetraploid, Lavender pink with white halo and pale lime throat.
(sdlg X Catherine Woodbery)

I've gotten a few keepers out of Lady Liz x String Bikini.:)

(Reed, 1997) Height 28", bloom 6", season ML, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, UFo Crispate , Rose purple self with lemon throat. (CORAL CRAB X TRAHLYTA)

Starts blooming early-mid in my garden and is one of the very last to finish. Super plant habit, love the radiation of the throat onto the sepals.

(Warrell, 2005) Height 32", bloom 8.5", season M, Dormant, Diploid, 20 buds, 4 branches, Spider Ratio 4.17:1, Deep rose orchid with wine red and white midribs above green throat.

If you like movement, this one will float your boat!

(Roberts-N., 1994) Height 36", bloom 8.5", season M, Dormant, Diploid, UFo Crispate, Lavender spider variant self with yellow green throat.

You can tell by the form and size of the bloom that this was used a great deal in Ned's hybridizing.

(Bawden, 2008) Height 36", bloom 9", season MLa, Dormant, Diploid, UFo Crispate, Pale lavender self above green throat.
(sdlg X Lola Branham)

Stunning presentation every time! This is one view.

Extremely pollen fertile in 2011, not pod fertile this year.

(Reinke-J., 1998) Height 38in (96cm), bloom 7in (18.0cm), season M, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, Fragrant, 13 buds, 3 branches, Unusual Form Crispate, Creamy white with lavender pink edge and green yellow throat. (Give Me Eight X Give Me Eight)

I confirmed the parentage with Joyce Reinke and despite her parents, I've never seen a poly bloom on Lee Reinke. She's better branched than registered and very pod fertile, so I've crossed her with lots of polys.:)

(Shooter-E., 2008) Height 32in (81cm), bloom 9in (23.0cm), season M, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, Fragrant, 16 buds, 3 branches, Unusual Form Crispate, Lilac with green streaks and lighter watermark with silver edge.

NOTE: This is older, but it is one of the BEST all-around performers in my garden, year after year and also a parent of many good children!

(Roberts-N., 2006) Height 36in (91cm), bloom 5in (12.5cm), season M, Dormant, Diploid,32 buds, 3 branches, Unusual Form Crispate, Pale yellow self above lime green throat.

Just love this one, subtle, yet bold. Super performer with great movement in every bloom.

(Schaben, 2001) Height 42", bloom 7.5", season La, Dormant, Diploid, UFo Cascade, Pink lavender self above yellow green throat.

NOT WIDELY GROWN, I think that Angie Ridder has yet to be discovered by most hybridizers and collectors.:)

NOTE: This is my pic, click on "more info" for the hybridizer's pic.

(Lambert, 1990) Height 28in (71cm), bloom 9in (23.0cm), season M, Dormant, Diploid, Unusual Form Crispate, Purple self with large green star throat. (Asterisk X Serpent's Tooth)

This is one of the last Lambert's registered. It does have the tendency to poly, but not often enough to classify it as such. I'm hoping to bring those poly genes out with higher percentage cultivars.

(Lambert, 1985) Height 30", bloom 7", season M, Dormant, Diploid, UFo Crispate, Flesh and green blend with pistachio green throat.
(Ancient Art X Cerulean Star)

(Lambert-Whitacre, 1990) Height 30", bloom 8", season M, Dormant, Diploid, UFo Crispate , Deep burgundy red spider with wide cream throat. (RIGAMAROLE X DIABOLIQUE)

Named after Rosemary Whitacre, she's a beaut!

(Roberts-N., 1995) Height 28", bloom 9", season MLa, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, Fragrant, UF Crispate, Purple self with yellow throat.

(Lenington-G., 1951) Height 34", season M, Diploid, RL2: Red light with markting, bitone, or polychrome.

From her LA listing last fall: (Meadow Stiletto x Matoaka Feather) 10" Lavender with a purple feathered eye, pinched sepals and a huge green eye. UFO. 40" scapes.

(Shooter-E., 2009) Height 37in (94cm), bloom 7in (18.0cm), season E, Rebloom, Dormant, Diploid, Fragrant, 19 buds, 3 branches, Unusual Form Crispate, Medium purple with bluish lavender washed eye above green throat.

Hybridizer's pic.

One of my most used parents for possible patterns. It always has a crooked pistal and won't make a pod, but its pollen is very fertile.
If anyone knows how to get a crooked pistal to take pollen, please email me!

(Roberts-N., 1999) Height 50", bloom 9.5", season M, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, Fragrant, 6 buds, 4 branches, UF Crispate, Light lavender with purple eyezone above green throat.

(Warrell, 2010) Height 30", bloom 7", season MLa, Dormant, Diploid, 15 buds, 3 branches, UFo Crispate, Dark red with lavender watermark above yellow green throat.
(sdlg X Cold Cold Heart)

One of the most used plants in the garden due to its watermark, which is unusual in a diploid UF. Both pod and pollen fertile.

I'm not sure how it got its nomer, but it's anything but rusty!

(Warrell, 2005) Height 48", bloom 7.5", season EM, Dormant, Diploid, 28 buds, 5 branches, UFo Cascade , Red with yellow stripe above green throat.
(Holly Dancer X Wildest Dreams)

Note from the hybridizer: "A bud builder with blooms from late June into September this year, with the unusual habit of blooming from proliferations along the scapes."

A VERY long blooming plant and fertile both ways!

(Murphy-J.P., 2007) Height 39", bloom 6", season M, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Diploid, 12 buds, 2 branches, Spider Ratio 4.17:1, Cherry red with yellow midribs and tan to cream edge above chartreuse throat. (Red Rain X (Chesapeake Crablegs X Red Rain))

Definitely fertile.

(Lambert-Savage, 1971) Height 30", bloom 8", season M, Dormant, Diploid, Very dark red overlaid black with green throat.. (WUTHERING HEIGHTS X MYRTLE BURNETTE)

One of the darkest that I've grown, very cool!

Another very small one from Bill Reinke, very well branched.

(Schwarz-B., 2005) Height 40in (102cm), bloom 8.5in (21.5cm), season M, Dormant, Tetraploid, Unusual Form Cascade, Red self above green throat.
(sdlg X Tet. Satan's Curls)

A shocker with its green throat, it's a very strong plant in my yard.

(Burkey, 2005) Height 34", bloom 7", season MLa, Dormant, Diploid, 22 buds, 5 branches, UFo Crispate, Bright pink with deep pinkish rose band above tiny green heart throat. (Willie Belle X Jurassic Spider)

NOT WIDELY GROWN, VERY special personality on this one and better bud count than on Clayton's windy mountain!

(Roberts-N., 1997) Height 32", bloom 8.5", season M, Dormant, Diploid, Spider Ratio 5.20:1, Lavender blend with a green throat.

STOUT MEDAL recipient, 2009.

I have both the dip and tet versions, both very pollen fertile.

(Reed, 2007) Height 36", bloom 6", season EM, Dormant, Diploid, 20 buds, 3 branches, UFo Crispate, Lavender with dark lavender pencil eye above lemon throat. (sdlg X unknown)

This is an image of one scape. If it were to be shown in an AHS Show, it would have won Queen of Show hands down. Blooms are always great, but on this scape, the placement of them were perfect. You can see that not one of them interfered with each other.

(Roberts-N., 2009) Height 30", bloom 6", season M, Dormant, Diploid, 30 buds, 4 branches, UFo Crispate , Yellow with burnt rose edge above vivid green throat.
(unknown X unknown)

When Soaring Bird was initially selected in Florida, it was 52". In 2011, the two scapes were 42" and 46" in my garden. Looking forward to seeing what it will do next year. Love the upright foliage.

Holding for increase
,
it has not be introduced yet and is very, very RARE.

This image was not taken in the spring as the foliage emerged. It was taken in the fall and you can see how upright it is, rather than the normal arching foliage.

This image was taken in FL and you can see that it does indeed soar above the rest!

(Lambert-Whitacre-JA., 1997) Height 26in (66cm), bloom 7in (18.0cm), season M, Dormant, Diploid, Dark red black self with a yellow throat. (Black Cat X Faustus)
