I'm going through a new phase with my daylily purchases. The bigger and taller, the better! Here is one of my John Rice daylilies "Lotus Position." This award-winning bicolor grows approximately 40" tall in my yard and has large 6.5" blooms. It's a real head-turner when in full bloom. Love those edges too! This photo was taken early in the morning and the burgundy color is quite vibrant. It tends to fade a bit with the afternoon sun, but the afternoon look is equally pleasing, just more pastel-ish.
I bought this daylily in August of 2013 at the Wisconsin Daylily Society Sale. It was a last minute impulse buy that I definitely don't regret. Seems like I just can't leave the sale without at least one diversion from 'the list.' Lotus Position, registered in 2007, was hybridized in Kentucky. It's an early mid-season bloomer that started on July 1st and ended on August 5th this year. It has multiplied well in the few years I have had it and seems to be quite happy in Wisconsin.
