thanks for our responses. As soon as it cools down some and I'm well enough, that Kwanso is out of there! I have a Kwanso in my Lilac garden away from most of my other lilies. Someone years ago planted a row of them along the chain link fence across the back of our yard, long before it was our yard (and my husband's been in this house for almost 40 years). Over the years, the back neighbour's cedar hedges have grown up and out covering the lilies and the chainlink fence. When I married my husband 13 years ago and moved in here with him, I saw one and got him to dig it out for me. They never bloomed under the cedars so I didn't know what it was. It took me several years to get rid of it in one of the main gardens I first transplanted that dug up plant to and soon learned they were Kwanso's. The bloom on the one in the front Boulevard garden that I posted as Amber Lady was purchased from a lady selling from her own extensive gardens. I took her word for the name of the lilies and other plants I bought from her - she is a personal breeder and had recently resigned as Greenhouse Manager of one of the most prestigious and popular nurseries just outside the City where I believe she'd held the position for about 10 years. I also have a daylily I purchased from her that she bred but has never named so I didn't post it on here - see the pic below. It is gorgeous - is there a Daylily that isn't? Anyway, thanks again. It's been running a very very humid 30 Celsius (86F) here where it feels like 40 (104F) and I have a serious heart condition and can't do a thing in the heat - just taking pics of the garden this morning did me in! I may have to enlist the help of my husband - again! Lin hmm - thought pic would show here but says it's been moved to generic daylily entry??? oh well
