Very nice cheerful color too. Everyone knows reds are my color. This particular red is a NOID since I bought it about 13 or 14 before i discvered the daylily forum and daylilies on Garden Web. I bought it for the color and the sun never affects it in the least and we have some sun! It is in what is probably one of the very worst places in my garden and it blooms away.

From the photos, it would seem You like orangey reds. I could never understand why you didn't like SC Francis Busby. To me it falls in that category, and it's often on the very orangey side of red here. But you called it rusty. I agreed it was somewhat rusty, but not rusty in a bad way. I wonder if it had something to do with the soil or your extreme heat.. You are the first of my daylily friends who didn't like Francis. But maybe her color on a daily basis was affected by your string on 100-degree temperatures.

Yes, I think you may. :-).

Debra: I know that lots of people swoon over SC Francis Busby but it just wasn't my color. In person it was more rusty red then orange red. I wanted to like it so much too. It even photographs my color. Oh well. Never know until you see them in person do you?

Space Coast Francis Busby:

Kay: Your orange red Noid sounds very nice especially if it's colorfast......Julia: Thanks for taking a peek. Yours should be along any time now too...............Maryl

Well, yes, on a color wheel, I think the arrow would stop at the same place for these! I love red zinnias (sorta like yellow daylilies). And that Wayah Valley daylily looks good every time you post it. I understand why you are on the hunt for colorfast reds!

I am still searching it seems for the right color on the wheel Kate. I thought you had Burning Inheritance too. Maybe it was someone else. Thanks for looking.....Maryl

Nancy: You among others see SC Francis Busby as orange red. I didn't like the edge color either. Gold is usually not my thing. Just gets down to taste I think. No good or bad to it. Thanks for looking........Maryl
