"However this thread was started to simply show off our noids and toss out ideas as to the id."
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to step on any toes.
I'm fine with showing off noids (I've had my share
), and the guessing game can be fun, but I really hate mis-identified plants.
Somewhat related, somewhat not...
I have a daylily that I bought years and years ago from a somewhat local (2 hr + drive away) nursery. This is a miniature polychrome daylily, and in general I don't like miniatures. So why did I buy it? If memory serves, this daylily is 'Little Rainbow', which I had read about in the Daylily Journal, and was surprised and pleased to find at the nursery, and pounced on it because of the beautiful polychrome face.
IF MEMORY SERVES.
Because, stupid me, at that point I was starting to acquire "just a few more" daylilies
, didn't think to record all of my purchases on the computer, and somewhere, somehow, the label went missing. (There was a lot of chaos going on at that time, due to landscaping.)
Now, is it really 'Little Rainbow' (which I think, at the time, was somewhat unique)? I'm about 97% certain that it is, but being paranoid, I must consider the possibility that it could be some
other yellow polychrome miniature daylily. So, I think of it as 'Little Rainbow', and have it labeled as such for my own purposes (mine is a private garden, not on tour or anything), but I wouldn't give it away under that name.
'Little Rainbow' (2 ATP gardens) and my
possibly 'Little Rainbow'
