beckygardener said:Vickie - Thanks for the link to the fragrant list of daylilies. I have honestly never smelled a fragrant daylily bloom. So none of mine apparently have a scent. I will have to keep an eye out for a good deal on 'Spanish Fandango'. Would love to have a fragrant daylily such as what you describe that one to smell like. Thanks for the name!

Mike - I agree ... a good increase does make a daylily stand out among other daylilies. I have a few like that and just love them. Lots of blooms every year, too! I am finding out that some more northern daylilies do not do well here. They might grow and bloom for a year or so, but then they seem to disappear forever. (Probably didn't survive my climate.)

Frillylily- What is "diamond dusting"?

Diamond dusting as the above poster described, looks like a glittery eye shadow on the petals. Some dl have it all over the bloom, others have a glittery edging. Sometimes it can be very heavy and on some varieties more subtle. Like a fine powdery shimmer. very pretty! If you are lucky you can get it to show up in photos.
