this is the DL (together with Russian Rhapsody) that boosted my interest in Daylilies to a fullblown addiction! Rolling on the floor laughing
(I made it my avatar!)

It was the first big(ger) flowered DL that bloomed in my garden and I was totally lost.. Lovey dubby

I kept it in a big pot during the summer as I was in the process of rearranging my garden to make more space for DL's Whistling and didn want to move plants that were already blooming.

It was growing very well and flowered fantastic, even though the pot turned out to be too small..
When I took it out to put it in the ground it was 1 big clump of roots Blinking

Even so, foliage was looking good, scapes grew well above it and flowers opened perfectly Thumbs up

I purchased and planted Storm Damage in May this year.
I didn't think to measure the scapes, but the fans increased from 6 to 11 (while in the container),
it produced 3 scapes and a total of 28 flowers.
That is less than it should be, but now that is in the ground I'm sure it will do even better next summer Lovey dubby
