DogsNDaylilies said:Hey everyone! I'm really debating on the last daylily I'm getting from Oakes. I've picked a few that I want, but I'm going back and forth on "Asterisk," so I'm curious what your thoughts are on "Asterisk" and the following daylilies:

**Golden Hibiscus**
I'm really interested in the form on this -- is it northern hardy and does it retain the tightly-recurved form on most or all blooms? Anyone know the budding/branching stats on this?

**Asterisk **
does this do well up north? Any input on this one would be appreciated because someone once recommended that I get Jocelyn's Oddity over this one, but didn't explain why.

**Diabolique**
Is this a poor-substance bloom? It looks thin in pictures, but it's hard to tell. I like the veining I'm seeing, but that's not enough to purchase it...does it have good bud/branch counts?

**Jerusalem**
Anyone know if this has a lot of buds, good branching, thick scapes, etc?

**Leprachaun's Wealth**
Does this rebloom in zone 5 (and lower)?

**Golden Prize**
Does this rebloom up north? Any idea whether this has a lot of buds or not?

I have had Jerusalem for years, and it has a lot of bright gold blooms. The only negative comment I have about it is that the blooms seem to all crowd at the top of the scape and it is hard to dead head. I am in NE IA zone 4B.
