The darker colors have a mystique about them. Great pic Simbad. Love this one. Why is it called a "witch"?

Thankyou Bathgate and Daglelie I love this one to :-)
Bathgate a lot of breeders will have a series of varieties that all start with the same name or have the same name in them so they're easily recognisable as their hybrids the Henry's daylilies all start with 'Siloam' 'Siloam Show girl' 'Siloam Baby Talk' etc, Margo Reed who bred this one has 4 Witches in this series there's also 'Grey Witch' and 'Third Witch' which all have the same eye marking but in different colours, I have these 3 but have just discovered there's now a 'Sand Witch' I need it lol.

Thanks for the explanation. You have an amazing collection Simbad. Your garden must be awesome to see. I'm going to make myself a roast chicken sandwich with mayo.

Aaaaw thankyou Bathgate you'd be welcome to come and see it shame you live so far away.
Roast chicken and mayo my favourite I like a few pickled onions in mine to mmmm.

You can never go wrong with pickles and onions, Yum! I do travel occasionally so if I'm in your area, I'll give you a holla!
