Daylily Peacock Maiden

This opened in my garden today, bit late for daylilies, warm weather we've had has made several send up flower scapes, colour on this isn't quite as good as normal but to have any flowers at this time of year is great.

I bought mine off ebay Geraniumdad for around £8 plus £2.50 postage, is a beauty, should have a couple of divisions from it at the end of next summer, is one of my fairly new ones,I would probably sell it for half that so say £6 including postage, I sell really just to fund my addiction,lol, another website that I know has it for sale, but think she only sends out till the end of september then not again till spring is www.polliesdaylilies.co.uk have had some lovely daylilies from her myself and she holds the national collection of spider and unusual forms, really worth a look.
If you'd like a piece from mine let me know, and I'll put your name on a piece for the end of next summer:-)

That is very kind of you. I visit Lincolnshire fairly often as my mum in law lives there in Tumby Woodside, so I could always bring you something in exchange!

I'll put myself a reminder Geraniumdad, terrible memory, would love to swap for something of yours,love geraniums:-)do have a few but sure you'll have some I dont, may be too far to drop it off though I live in Gainsborough not sure how far away from Tumby Woodside that is, but could always post it to you :-)
