Howdy friends!
I'd love to know what some of my fellow DL lovers think about why some daylilies are various colors. Example: this one - Splittin Hairs looks to have more pinkish tones in the photo Calif_Sue posted (from the hybridizer Paul Owens) compared to the other photos showing a more orange tone. My guess is that it might have something to
do with the soil - either the minerals that are in it or other organisms. PH levels. Fertilizers. Or the type of soil (clay or sand or nice dark dirt). What say you? My Splittin Hairs is in a soil that has more clay in it. I have not fertilized much. I don't even know the PH level...whether it's more alkaline or acidic. I'm trying to teach myself more about
soils and everything that is in it that could contribute to the grow and color of a flower. I'd enjoy hearing other folks' opinions on this topic.
