I love your pic of Crowning Fire, Arlene. It is so gorgeous that I place a bid on it on the LA based on your pic. Hope mine will bloom as nicely as yours.
I purchased Crowning Fire from the Stamiles. It grew beautifully for 6 months and within days after that it completely rotted--all 9 fans. Very disappointed!
I'm in Central Florida so summer is our rainy season. It was the only one that rotted at that time and I have 85 daylilies. Who knows? Some plants just don't want to live, I guess.
