Synopsis; ordered BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS on the LA as a five fan clump. It bloomed the next year (one fan) clearly not BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS, thence forth known as NOID. I notified the seller who sent five replacement fans which I planted. This summer two of the new fans bloomed and neither was slightly like BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS and they were completely different from each other so we're named NOIDNOID and NOIDNOIDNOID. A new scape appeared on one of the first five previously unbloomed fans and low and behold it wasn't BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS nor did it match NOID, its sister bloom and so the two bloomed fans in the first group were named NOID sub one and NOID sub two.
So far I had four different unknown daylilys from a single order and its replacement order. Recently two new fans appeared on two previously unbloomed fans from the second replacement group of five. One bloomed yesterday and the second bloomed today.
You guessed it ... no you didn't, they are both BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS!!!
Six fans bloomed, two are what I ordered, four to go. Anyone want to hazard a guess of what those four are? New NOIDS? Matches with previous NOIDS? BEAUTIFUL EDGINGS? The first true blue self daylily? Carrots? I haven't the slightest idea but am eagerly awaiting the outcome.
Thank you for reading.
