I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.

What Would You Call This Color?
I don't know what this color is, but this Dominic daylily sure looks good. Please ignore the despicable Bermuda grass growing around the plant. It's amazing the variety of colors that daylilies come in.
I love this color. I have a few this color. I am going to my neighbors this afternoon to photograph some of the 100's of daylilies they have. They have some hybrids that are about 10" in diameter
The color is actually even blacker than in this picture. The camera doesn't catch it very well. It's a very "manly" color, my wife says. Nothing "sissy" about this flower!
The hemerocallis catalogs call it 'dark red' but I think Maroon or Near Black more nearly describes it. I have three plants, waiting to see them bloom; no scapes yet.
