I don't believe Stella is double, however, but I'm far from an expert on that. We have lots of daylilies, and some are very similar to each other, and some came with the property, so they will never be identified, so I make up names for them. How about making up your own name for yours if no one recognizes it?<Frances,https://www.blogger.com/profile/03616568389165362993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-12929463919845231892008-03-31T08:32:00.000-04:002008-03-31T08:32:00.000-04:00Beautiful.

Glad yours are beginning to poke out of the ground.<BR/><BR/>Lisa: Once I know a name I'm usually okay about remembering. It's just that botanical names haven't been that important to me - what was important was learning what would live and where... so knowing it was a daylily was enough. <BR/>Glad you like the header - it is from May/Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-14566530369689073582008-03-30T19:18:00.000-04:002008-03-30T19:18:00.000-04:00hi meems, you have a beautiful garden and blog. my...hi meems, you have a beautiful garden and blog. my sister lives in palm harbor, which i think is close to you? she doesn't garden much but is a grandma like you-loving life!<BR/><BR/>you make florida sound awesome but i know i simply could NOT garden there. or maybe with years of acclimation? my mother came last summer then went to see my sister there, and she said it was actually COOLER than tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3160717311376074400.post-8397065645592468562008-03-30T15:43:00.000-04:002008-03-30T15:43:00.000-04:00Oh I hope my daylilies bloom early too!

In a week or two I'm going to have to move them to a new, but temporary, home - Maybe I'll get lucky enough to enjoy a few blooms first - and if not, I'll enjoy yours with you!
