        It is highly scented, with quite a sweet smell if that helps with the ID.

          Well the daylilies are slow getting going this year, have had a few flowers but none really worth photographing yet, they'll be fine when they get into their stride :biggrin:, here's the first good flower that opened today.

              Well I've had 'Wild and Wonderful' open today, but its not the right plant, bit annoyed actually as this is the second time I've bought this plant from the same seller, did email the first time to say it was a wrong plant and they were very nice saying I could return it, but I kept it as I quite liked it, had it identified on the American Spider Robin as 'String Bikini', this is the same plant again grrrrr, I'll have to email them again, sure they'll sort it, have had some lovely plants from this seller and every other time they've been right, it just seems to be this one plant, I will get 'Wild and Wonderful' one day :biggrin:.

                          Hello there, I could get a piece off mine later if you can't get one. Sorry, been a bit quiet, just heard my lovely Chyna dog going blind and a bit low at present. Lots of things to think about. 50% of the display is blooming now and beginning to look amazing, enjoy all.
