I need help in describing daylily blooms in order to find them in the data base (by bloom description alone). I have mentioned this before but it seems people trying to help wanted the height, date of registration ect. I understand that is necessary for an ID, but right now I am just trying to learn how to properly describe blooms.
Is there a certain order the colors are listed in, should the petal color come first then the color of the eye then the watermark etc.
Is there a FAQ somewhere describing how to do this? Where is there a place to include the midrib color in the data base? Some descriptions seem to include the midrib in the description others don't even though it might have a obvious white midrib (only midrib color I remember seeing). Are there only certain basic colors used in the descriptions, why is yellow so often called green, in other words I am at a total loss when I try to put in a bloom color description. Surely there must be some standard method of entering this information.
