Love this post, gives me a chance to practice but I would love to see @adknative
describe the bloom. I might give a description but she can paint a picture.

I would like to start with the base color: a blend of yellow and pale peach?
A small dark green throat radiating into yellow gold with a violet halo with very pale lavender highlighted midribs.
A double edge of yellow and violet?
Can't wait to see others post, makes me realize how hard it is to sometimes decide if it is actually a band, or a halo . Even though it does not seem to fit the definition of having an eye, hard to describe the bloom without using that term. Is that really an extension of the throat, or is that an eye zone?
Great bloom to educate us on. As you will notice I am terrible with color names.
Editing to change the word halo to band.

Would you consider it a bitone? It is really pretty. How big is the flower, height?

I think the term "pencil" would fit both the edge of the eyezone and the edge of the petals. Like Larry, I struggle with an exact color description, but I'm thinking: Butter yellow with double edge of rose and canary (or lemon) yellow, small green throat and a canary (or lemon) yellow eyezone with rose pencil-edge.

I agree that Dianne's description would look like poetry compared to my attempt! Hilarious!

I found this photo with a description, which I selected to illustrate a question I have. I like the term pencil line or pencil edge being used, but how thin or wide would that term actually apply to a ring of color? How faint or pale does a halo have to be to qualify?

The seedling photo made me realize I was having trouble trying to decide if the throat area with the yellow was actually part of the throat or if it should be considered an eye, or eye zone?
So I need help from those with a good eye to help determine where a throat actually ends and an eye or eye zone begins. I also seem to struggle with bands, I seem to be so used to referring to them as eyes, or eye zones. So I certainly need to practice on more daylilies with bands and reading their descriptions.

I love your questions, Larry! I struggle with the very same thing. And even when I think I have it down pat, another daylily comes along that challenges what I thought I knew. D'Oh!

I did not mean to hijack Kenny's thread so I started a new one about general bloom descriptions. Hope people will respond.
Also instead of being a blend of color, would his bloom be a polychrome?

Back to Kenny's seedling photo, I failed to mention the ruffled edge I think that should be included in any description. Are there other terms to describe the edge?

Kenny, I think texture and substance would also be something to add to the description of your bloom. I always think that adds a lot to a photo of a bloom being you can't actually feel the bloom.

Sometimes in the past, too long descriptions were edited. So, going for brevity.

Cream blush blend with double violet gold edge, pale violet band and green throat.

That is a nice one Kenny! The thing that caught my eye was the shape. Not really a UF but nice longer petals. I always love a two tone edge! A lady liked that dark seedling you gave me and wants a DF. It is a good grower and I love the edge on it too.

Seeing Easter Egg described as having a green throat makes me wonder? All the photos show deep down the throat does look green, but in all the photos the upper part of the throat looks orange. If any of you were describing either the seedling or the registered plant Easter Egg, would you mention the throat seems to radiate out from green to orange? Or is that just the cameras playing tricks?

How did I miss this thread...?

I see a pale orange-sherbet bloom with hints of melon and peach, deep green center bleeding out to a sunflower golden throat, emerging like a whisper into a delicate lavender halo and midribs, echoed by a lavender and golden multicolour wire edge and delicate ruffles.

I grow Easter Egg, and this is a lovely off-spring. Lovey dubby
