Okay, now I understand. Anyway, allow me to explain our position.
We refer to ourselves as a daylily farm, not a garden. We are setup to be commercial. People can walk up and down rows as opposed to wander thru gardens with abstract shaped beds and water features etc. We truly are a farm with the difference being that rather than having a crop that is wheat or corn or cotton, our crop is daylilies. We don't do tissue culture, we buy our plants from other daylily growers, many of which are "farms" in my mind (e.g. Marietta Gardens); Some are nursery operations (e.g. Floyd Cove) and some are display gardens operations - private, non commercial, so I will not name.
Our place (Dreamy Daylilies) is a small hobby farm operation, with only 300 cultivars, and is insured as such.
I've attached a picture of our field so hopefully you can understand why I call it a farm rather than a garden. I think you actually have to click on the picture so it will open up and provide a true representation of our field.
Anyway, we bought this particular plant from Marietta Gardens. The Shooters have been outstanding to us, and I am not asking them for a replacement plant. When we bot this plant (along with another 20 or so) in 2005 it was simply for personal enjoyment. We have bot from them 3 times now, probably over 50 cultivars in total and this was the only "wrong" one. At the time, we were simply a garden, and to have one "wrong" plant was not really a concern. Now we are commercial, and simply want to know what it is that we have.
I can't ask them to send me Forbidden Desires now. The shipping and Phyto costs would be very disproportionate to the plant cost and as such would simply be unfair for me to even ask.
May the blooms be with you!
