I find that I am quite unexpectedly amazed at this cultivar. Photos just don't do it justice at all.
The color is difficu...Read Morelt to describe since it changes throughout the day, so much so that for a time I thought I had 2 different daylilies. In the early morning the blooms are a vibrant grape/purple color with a large flourescent yellow/green throat. The morning color is quite breathtaking. Even the partially opened blooms are striking this time of day, Their pastel, almost white outsides constrasting beautifully against the dark burgandy/wine inside.
By early afternoon the blooms have faded to the more familiar dusty cranberry shown in most photos. At this point dark grape veins standout vividly as do the pale center ribs and the large yellow/green throat which, while still quite bright, has also faded a bit since morning.
By late evening the blooms may be a paler, dustier cranberry still. With its huge yellow/green throat and high bud count this one is quite outstanding. It is not the "shinking violet" type. The coloration is lovely in all of its variations though none quite so breathtaking as the early morning hues.
