Susan Ruoff is much prettier in person than it is in a photo. Tri-colored Bite is another that doesn't like our climate. We almost got rid of it, but it was looking good on account of our mild winter, so we kept it. The seedling Queen of the Garden today is a seedling we thought we had lost two winters ago. It didn't bloom last year. We couldn't register this one because of a lack of vigor. But we will keep it to breed with other red and yellow ones to see if we can pass on that huge eye. It is Pat Garrity X Gavin Petit, but its garden name is 'Big Eye'. Nancy

Heaven Bengal Tiger is calling my name. Will look that one up.........In a similar case, some roses are just more susceptible to Thrips then others. In the case of roses the damage is most obvious on the lighter colored roses. I stopped growing almost all white roses after too many lost battles to them (I didn't spray). However there was one white rose that stood out for having less damage then all the others (named Tineke) so it remained in my garden. I think the same thing may be true with daylilies. I've given away some nice daylilies that just seemed to blotch no matter what was happening. Sometimes life is too short to fight it.........Now off to do research on HBT.....Maryl

Thanks for posting your picture of Arrowhead Princess. My flower is much paler than yours, but I don't doubt its identity. It only been in the ground since the beginning of May so I didn't expect it to be at its full potential. Bob and I were talking about it not being a keeper, but if it looks like yours, I am sure it will stay. Nancy
