Thanks :} I'm also very open to trying those that have done well for others, even under different conditions. Its a great starting point, and may lead me to finding purples that work here too.
And, regarding Juli's intro, if Google has led me correctly down the path (with just "juli" and "ohio" lol)... maybe it is drinkin' ink ... keeping my eye on it! That's a very helpful hint about shiny/satiny sun-reflecting flowers ... makes total sense, and I'll know to look for it as I get to know some new daylily blooms next year.
