I would love your opinions on this older seedling, which I garden named "Poop Eye." I personally don't like brown daylilies but have been encouraged by others to hang on to this one. It has a gold base with a bronze/copper overlay and a dark brown eye. Early last year I decided to compost it. So growing atop the compost pile with roots exposed, it put up a scape with 22 buds and 4-way branching. Then it proceeded to rebloom with a scape that had nine buds. It grew up in a garden bed between Dixie Boy and Mystic Mariner. A three-year-old, It will set pods with tet pollen, so I believe it came from a seed that dropped from my pod of Dixie Boy X Samuel Bell. This year it didn't bloom until the heat wave, had only 8 buds, and the blooms were so faded the flower was not recognizable. Most all my bud counts were very low this year, except for the beds I hand watered.
