I need to do more research on those type roses and post more pictures to see if anyone can identify it.<br /><br />Donna that daylily is 'Tupac Amaru'. It's a very nice daylily. I have another purple too, Indian Giver, which so far has been a lovely pinkish-purple.<br /><br />I will amend the post to include the names.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-16456923069372856172011-02-19T07:46:01.371-05:002011-02-19T07:46:01.371-05:00A stunning garden with gorgeous flowers!/AnjaA stunning garden with gorgeous flowers!/AnjaAnjas Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08653720800350893542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-65652256957638366442011-02-19T07:31:07.875-05:002011-02-19T07:31:07.875-05:00I'm afraid that if you don't stop teasing ...I'm afraid that if you don't stop teasing us, I will have to take my viewing elsewhere.

Your iris photos make me feel like I'm really missing out on something special.<br /><br />Luv your double ruffly columbine. I planted a new columbine last year, 'Songbird Cardinal'....can't wait to see it this spring.<br /><br />Do you know the name of your purple daylily? Last fall I put in a 'Canadian Border Patrol' just to see what it looks like. Should have creamy flowers with a bold purple eye and ruffled purple edges. <br /><br />Wishing you the best, donnadonnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06950476333013336671noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3944937432345427996.post-8517905575989475002011-02-18T20:57:18.410-05:002011-02-18T20:57:18.410-05:00Just lovely...
