When I bought these plants three or four years ago, the label and picture
showed and described PINK daylilies (the scheme in my yard is purple, blue,
and pink). So I was pretty excited. Then they bloomed. Like a parrot in a
bluebird nest.

What I got were bright, velvety burgundy blooms with a vivid goldeny throat.
Vigorous plants, good bloomers. But sore thumbs in my careful plan. (I
can't help being kind of weird about red and yellow and some related colors,
an unfortunate emotional residue from growing up in the Marines.)

The closest I can come to an ID is that they were labeled Catherine
WOODBURY, but look identical to the Catherine NEAL variety instead. I
suspect a whole batch just got mislabeled and sold as the wrong Catherine.
Both varities are shown on this page.

I would have been happy ever after with Catherine Woodbury.

I bought a lot of plants, and took good care of them for several years with
good organic fertilizer etc. so that they have multiplied well.

But enough's enough. I am tired of disappointment and visual discord.

So what is on offer is a group of daylilies that looks like Catherine Neal.

Approximately 100 plants, enough to establish an AWESOME bed if they work
with your color scheme. Best offer takes them, you dig.

The burgundy daylilies are spoken for.

There are also regular orange daylilies (more mature) for $1 per fan.

Mixed in their beds are a FEW incredible double oranges and one lemon yellow
that I assume are sports (appeared in the last 2 years, when I had not
planted anything in those beds). Can't tell them apart, so you have
probably 2 chances in several hundred of a yellow and 4 chances in as many
of the doubles.
