    Gorgeous! I bought this locally at the Abbeville LA Daylily Festival June 2013. I saw a picture on its label and had to have it. It is a slow grower, so I only have 2 plants after all this time. Last fall I moved it to a full sun location, so this year it grew and bloomed well early in April. I call it LSU colors because it's a creamy gold background color with wine markings. A real treasure, but not especially easy to grow.
