I like this one Cindy, but it doesn't look school bus yellow in the photos I've found on the net. You registered it as "lemon yellow self with apple green throat" from the AHS page (no photo there). However, there's nothing like having first hand knowledge! Smiling Some of the net photos make it look like it has a whitish midrib at times?

You know I still want DOWNRIVER BUTTERFLY, but you didn't offer it on your downsizing clearance. I was watching Big Grin . I'm a bit hesitant to get very many new ones at the moment. I'm seeing deer tracks right up to the house for one thing. For another, the big containers tend to be expensive and I want to see how well those work over time with the plants I'm currently growing. I lost the first daylily toward the end of summer. Crown rot, I'm sure, and I'm not sure why or how to mitigate the circumstances where it might occur again. It was a plant that did well the year before and started out in the spring looking good, but didn't continue looking good by bloom season. I don't have enough experience to recognize the onset. But I'm still likely to add a couple from time to time and maybe clear out some that don't do well after being given the chance for a few seasons. Or that croak for some reason. The deer may put an end to the attempt if they continue hanging out too close.
