I've ordered from wilds in the past and always got what I ordered. If they
substitute something it is labled as such. Sometimes soil type and ph
affect the color of daylily blooms. Doll house looks like the picture in
my neutrel cliche clay soil but 35 miles down the road it appears tangerine
orange with out the pinkish glow completely and dosn't bloom and grow as
nice that soil being sandy acidic type. Sun and humidity can affect the
deepness of a flowers color also. If you want reasonabley price plants
most of which are double fanned try Pine Branch Daylily Garden, Rt 1 Box 93
Brookston, Tx., 75421.
