    I purchased Violet Jade, an Ida Munson Hemerocallis in 2000. Through the years, I have noticed a tendency for it to not open well, and also found it to wilt easily at the edges in afternoon heat. It also doesn't appear to resemble photos of what I thought Violet Jade would look like.
    A bit of a disappointment. If the photos I submitted to the database aren't acceptable, please remove them.
