This is an interesting cultivar. The petal texture and shape is different than any other daylilies I currently have. It shows diamond dusting. It is described as a "cream and pink peach polychrome with green throat". I think that is a very accurate description of the blooms. I find it to be unusual and because of that, I like it. The foliage has also been resistant to rust. (Always a big plus for me living in the south.)

I received 2 fans in July 2015. This May 2016 it has produced 2 scapes with a total of only 7 blooms. But I am sure that will increase once this cultivar settles in. I will be watching to see if it re-blooms this year. It's third bloom today was polymerous! I hope to use it in my daylily hybridizing hobby.

Polymerous bloom:
