Hi .Verdun. Well of course there has always been and always will be better plants to plant in our gardens but its all a matter of personal likings and choice - not a lot different to clothing really is it?. We all wear what we like and to heck with fashion (certainly in my case) and I also apply this principle to plants - one persons meat etc etc etc. I personally love any sword like foliage as a contrast to rounder and fluffier things.as with the old Antholiza we talked of recently - looks a treat to me but heres a confession - I will admit to all I am very much what I would call "old school" in my gardening preferences as indeed I am in so many things - I ask you to bear with me - above all though I ain't "stoopit".
Patty2. Wow thats some colour on your Daylily - again if you like it well goodho - must say though that is a very apprpropriate name for it - Pardon Me - Gor Blimey i think would be equally suitable. Have fun. Best wishes and nice to natter.
Hi Verdun. So you are another scruffy ... in the garden then . gardening is all about relaxing for sure and that includes clothing. As for the Daylilys foliage ain't what I said - I meant bent swords - ahem.
Hi Matty2. An aplogy. When I just commented on your Daylily I used the name Patty2. Sorry about that - it was the turning the page i think that did it. Regards.
Hi Fairygirl. To each our own choices . Tell you what though - they are not troubled by that beetle or much else as i recall. Wish you could wave your wand and get rid of those on my containerised Lily's..
Hi Verdun. I will take you up on that and order plants.. Now tell me please - when walking down the road the other day I passed a nearby garden which is a little better than the norm in terms of plants in it - nowt overly exciting but over the wall was a Daylily which was rather striking in itself. A description best I can - within the flowers alternate deep maroon stripes with alternate quite bright yellow - since you have said it it does indeed look a little Zebra like. Can this be it?.

Verd - your cloak's always neat and tidy though love...
Daylilies...not really for me. Pretenders to the crown of 'real' Lilies - Longiflorums in particular
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
