daylilies do what flowers do. they bloom. they look pretty. is there supposed to be something else ? i see no reason to make it more complex. the gentleman that named it no doubt thought it was pretty enough to adorn a very special space. and while i cannot argue that point i find any garden a very special place.

What lovely shades in one flower! Gorgeous.
I would agree with your definition of special place.
Stunning photos equally stunning flower. Made me smile, flowers always do.
Oh, but it is a wonderful name!
the hybridizer gets to name the plant. this one was introduced by Bill Munson back in 1980. He did pick a lovely name.
Beaautiful Colors. Thanks for stopping bye.

Hi John! I lived in Cleveland before I moved to Ireland. Didn’t ever get to garden much in Ohio, so am trying to make up for lost time! Lovely plants you have – mine have just about finished up for the year, too. Sad, isn’t it?
