Lorna's Gift
In just a few weeks, this daylily will begin to bloom in front of our house.
Daylilies have pedigrees, with a registered year of introduction and the name of the hybridizer. Lorna's Gift was introduced in 1996 by Nona Ford. But there are several daylily photos that show up when googled that don't look like the above. So I was on a quest last week to find out its authenticity. And to make a long story short, Ms. Ford's cousin, Richard, verified that the flower above is correctly identified as Lorna's Gift.
I suspect that there is a story behind the name. I could make one up. It'll bloom in early June so I've got a few days to concoct a worthy tale.
