| This daylily is a cross I made using the J. Carpenter reject I named for my mother, which is the pod parent, and Chance Encounter which is the pollen parent. This is a large plant, large flowers with very thick substance. I think the color is very interesting, certainly nothing like either of the parents. I was reminded of something I read once, describing the color of a rose. It said "the color combination of amber flesh-pink would make Renoir weep with envy." When I look at this daylily, I think the description fits the color perfectly. Therefore, I think I should name this daylily "Renoir's Inspiration" or should it be " Renoir's Tears"?Any suggestions are welcome. Avedon

| I like the name Renoir's Inspiration better. |

| Yeah, without context, RENOIR'S TEARS gives an impression of grief or sadness. If you don't mind going long, an alternative might be RENOIR WEEPS WITH ENVY. Nate |

It's very pretty and I think I would go with Renoir's Inspiration for it's name.

| Whatever you name it, it's still a beauty...How about Renior's Envy as an afterthought! Ellie |
