I like some ruffling but the chicken fat has gotten way out of hand for my tastes. I don't mind the multiple colored edges as long as they match the colors well. I love love love all kinds of spidery UF type things. a few bagels are nice but I like a mix of forms in the garden. I am usually not that into doubles, but some of them are growing on me. I like them big with gold edges or teeth not chicken fat and I'm not into the eyed doubles at all. It's too hard to see the eye, so whats the point Blinking I hope as daylies evolve we see an emphasis on garden habit as well as the beautiful face. It does no good to have a beautiful face that is 8" across if I only see 4 the whole season. I also would like to see an emphasis on true garden pics not greenhouse pics. It's great it's a fab color in Mr or Ms. hybridizers greenhouse but what does it truly do in a real- world garden? To me this is as important for the industry as new pretty faces. It does the daylily world no favors to get a customer all excited by that perfect. white, red, black or elusive blue dayliy, charge them upwards of $200.00 and when it blooms it is pink, mauve or lavender. This only serves to turn folks off and turn them to other types of plants just my opinion take it for what it's worth Shrug!
It's my cats world, I'm just here to open the cans.
