Daylily - 'Cherokee Moon'


Daylily - 'Cherokee Moon'

A new one blooming for the first time. There is a large hoof print at the base of this plant where the cow that broke in almost destroyed it.

Lovely colour, but it looks like a poppy.

It has cristate sculpting which gives it that look. It is also 6.5" across.

That is a different daylily. Love the colour too.

If you aren't familiar with this type of sculpting, there is a second set of petals (which makes it a double) and along the midrib there is growth that is equal to the parts on either side (like an upside down T). I had it last year on one, (Color of Innocence × Signature Truffle).

For a better photo, taken a few hours later, see my Flickr photostream.
Cows are a problem here. They break out and run around causing problems. One smashed a fence I had with barbed wire, ran around through my daylilies, then left through a stone wall. It knocked markers around, stepped on plants, and tried to fertilize a few others. If someone leaves their front gate open, they go in and wreck front yards. If I catch them in my yard, I call the police so I can claim damages - unfortunately I didn't catch this one.

They break out of a field where the grass is, and then cann't get back in.

I had a seagull land in the garden and it coudnt take off as it landed in the bushes it took 30 mins to find its way on to the lawn I did go out but the squawks out of it I got attacked by 3 in the air swooping down I just went in and left it.
