2008 Solaris Farms Daylily
Introductions This year's group of daylily
introductions are our best to date and are all truly northern hardy plants
(hard dormants, or crown forming dormants). Images are simple garden
shots that show a typical flower. Colors were not altered, but can be
variable with different monitors, etc... Branches refer to laterals
and do not include top branching, so there is much more! |
