Cold Fusion is very different from your picture, and the one you have tagged Louisa's song is also very wrong. That one looks a lot like Gay Parasol Sorry, they may have been labeled wrong.

I may have them mixed up with some others. Unfortunately I didn't mark any that I planted last summer. Cold Fushion maybe Insaniac?? I will have to see if I can see tags on them. Thanks.

Not Insaniac which is more brownish red and has a definite rim around the falls.


Your looks to be rose pink or reddish. I am sure I have seen one like that before.

Also forgot to post this one unknown heirloom at my mother-in-laws place. It is tall, maybe 40 or 42". It also smells like grape jelly.

I am also wondering about Fly Your Colors. I do not have a picture of mine since I took it to the show but mine was really gold and striped wine. You may check. Mine had just bloomed so maybe it lightens up. Don;t know.

Jane, can colors vary because of soil?? I know with daylilies colors can vary depending on the soil.

Hopefully these are correct i.d.'s. I made the mistake of ordering about two dozen from Breck's and I think I got a lot of wrong ones.
