To
paraphrase the US Postal Service, “Neither
morning cold, nor blazing sun, nor pelting rain” will stop SHAMROCK DEW. It seems to love cold
mornings which can be devastating to some daylilies but it also loves the heat
where the ruffled edges sparkle green and the pink and cream highlights glisten
in this incredible polychrome. Even at
the end of the day after heavy rains and then hot sun SHAMROCK DEW looks as fresh as it did when it opened.
Guy
thinks this is the absolute finest daylily he has ever seen. I will let others
make that choice. Certainly this is one of the finest polychromes I have done.
It doesn’t hurt that the deeply fimbriated chartreuse edge picks up the deep
green of the throat.
