My friend's gift of a "lavender" daylily is open this morning. From the buds I knew it wasn't lavender but I wasn't expecting this, LOL!
Really deep rich color. Those light spots are not flaws but where the sun comes through leaves above the bloom.
Also, here's a better picture of my neighbor's unknown (which reminds me now of one I think Caudia posted, Sir Modred?) (Edit: Looking at database pictures though, I am not convinced. This one lacks the faint ruffle on the edge but has a hint of white there instead, and the eye looks more defined.)
