@Diggerofdirt: "On paper" it is a beauty. Real life, nobody has any evidence one way or the other.
But the creator is known for being upstanding. And I adore that he has OCD about everything, like I do. His bar for perfection is so high compared to anyone else in the business. I would say his one Achilles heel is the lack of dormant daylilies in his collection. They all seem to be evergreen or semi-evergreen (or at least the ones I like). Would be nice to know his creations would be winter-hardy up in the North.
But now, my new 'problem' is that I have finally come across a vendor of the Felix Jury Magnolia tree (you should have a peep on Google Images) which I have been searching for for many years (although now I would have nowhere to put it as I gave up hope a while back and planted other stuff). And this amazing tree is still cheaper than the little daylily!
I think I will need to make a list of pros and cons of each then decide who wins the ongoing war in my mind.
