I thought I was the only one that likes Numbers. It's a cool show. I sure hate they canceled it way too early.
I just looked at a picture of Cutting Loose and really, did not know what it was until I read the caption. I had just been to another website where they had 3 different photos of it, in varying degrees of what I'll call med purple to light lavender. I figured it was a plant that got lighter as the blooms on the scape progressed or on rebloom scapes. The new picture of it is way way more red than purple. (I think of purple being a bluish purple and when I see redish purple I tend to call it maroon or burgandy)
I have been watching this plant for over a year because it's one that I really wanted but didn't want to pay as much as it's been selling for, so I thought I would wait. But, if it's going to be the redish purple color, I really don't want it. I wanted one that had the blue tones to it. SO, I guess my thought is, what is the real color of Cutting Loose. I did look at our database and it's about a 50-50 mix of the two colors.
I just went to the hybridizer's site and copied this:
""""The color is not Lavender, purple, nor blue, but a combination of all three, and what is especially appealing is the coolness of the color, completely clean with no pink tones. """"
Hmmmmmmmmm "no pink tones" I really don't know what to say about that statement.
I did come back and edit this because I wanted to state, I'm not saying this about just this one plant, I'm just using it as an example of the way a daylily can look so different and in reference to what has been said above. Is it something that can be controlled with different fertilizers or what???? I'm sure I could look at many other plants by as many other hybridizers and come up with the same problem.
