    Great minds think alike! I was going to mention creeping Jenny too :p I have one day lily named "Deanna's gift". If I found something else with my name or hubby's I'd buy it :-D

    I bought some Lily's this spring named 'Netty's Pride'. So far, they haven't poked their heads out ... maybe after the rain on Friday.

    Sherry there is a daylily named Sherry Candy. I don't know where you can find it. I have Raspberry Candy but that won't help. Some day I hope to get Strawberry Candy. I like candy. lol.

    I have never found any plant with Toni in the name so I usually go for the ones with Snow or Snowflake in some form in the name.

    The only plant I know about with my name is Impatiens, and I don't like them. :D I can't find plants with family members' names either, but then I guess most plants don't get Norwegian names. Maybe I ought to make some myself. :D
