I admit, yellow was the only term I could think of. *Blush*

Yellow daylilies are very cheerful in the garden, especially past the peak of bloom. I strongly feel that every garden, no matter how small, should have at least one yellow daylily, even if it is *gasp* a miniature daylily, in a pot:



Some of the yellows in my garden (many of which you have seen before, some of which are polychromes or blends):





(also, the Tetra version of the above, but I have not seen it in bloom yet)




(has not grown to its registered height here, probably due to shade and lousy acidic clay)




(stretching the definition a bit, as this was registered as a "cream gold pink")


("yellow with a pink cast")



Since I just pitched out a couple of rusty yellows, I ordered and am awaiting delivery this season of two more resistant ones. (I am reluctantly breaking a rule on height here as these two daylilies are shorter than I like, but I wanted them for their rust resistance (I have hybridizing plans), and if need be, I can always put them into pots.)




Finally, a sampling of seedlings:

Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
