RE: Canadian Border Patrol

Claire, they sound like the Rose Rustlers, famous in Texas.  Obsessed gardeners are interesting!

Canadian Border Patrol was around 150.00 a few years ago when I belonged to 
THE GROUP.  Some of our members smuggled it in from a trip to Hawaii, potted 
it and then brought it around to show off.  What is it about this plant that 
made it so desirable?   Is it that we in the north cannot grow it or was it 
rare or what?  The name sticks.  Those wonderful folks who name daylilies 
march to a different drummer.  It is downright embarrassing to discuss some, 
CBP being a mild one.  Some names come from literature, some descriptive but 
daylilies they cannot be explained.

That being said they do bloom a lot for me in August but then we might get a 
frost by Sept. 10 or 15 so it may not be a great advantage.
