    I was thrilled to see this old double open up! I was afraid I'd given them all away last summer when I cleaned out the front parking strip :rolleyes:

    I know there are a lot of big, fancy, new doubles out there but I'm still pretty loyal to this one :)

    I think I have finally figured out why day lilies fascinate me so much. Some of the blooms look very exotic (at least in my opinion) but they are so easy and care free!

    Stratsmom--I agree. I think Kwanso is beautiful. I grow it as well amd it multiplies so readily that I feel I can freely give away offshoots of it to friends.

    Oooh, I would hate it if I had given away something so beautiful. I'm so glad you had some Kwanso left. :D

    I have to dig up my iris this fall and I am worried I will give my pink one away. It came from a friend ...hopefully my old pictures will help me decide where it is for sure. It didn't bloom this spring or I would of marked it...too much overcrowding.

    I am glad you still have the lily, I love orange.

    Good morning, the apricot lily is lovely, a very subtle pastel colour, some of the daylily colours are a bit stark for me sometimes.
