When Kwanso (sorry I've been misspelling it with an 'a' on the end) bloomed I couldn't get over the many super-bright colors, and layers it had! And eyed, to boot!!

It supposedly dates to 150 years BC when a Korean princess, was admiring, and mediatating on the beauty of daylily Flora pena. A sudden storm came up and lightening struck Flora. Legend has it that the double daylily Kwanso was born at that moment. My Kwanso has a triple layer of petals and sepals. (I miss the hyperlink feature; hope we get it back!)
