  The best possible name that I could come up with for the color of H. Cinnamon Crisp is a burnished cinnamon.  Curiosity got the best of me as to where the coloration in this daylily came from so I did a search of the parentage.  Much to my surprise I discovered that the majority of the lineage was from pink and rose breeding.  I was also pleasantly surprised that the lineage can be traced well into the 1970s reinforcing my belief that crosses involving old timers can often result in a more modern look.  Needless to say I used this daylily with cutting edge pinks and purples and reds to take the already satisfying look of H. Cinnamon Crisp in a different direction.  One cross that I made and look forward to seeing bloom is Cinnamon Crisp X Ironman!!!
  The plant habit of this cultivar is more than acceptable given that it was lined out under trees for the past few years.  I can only imagine how much better the habit will be when it is actually planted out in the sun again!  Don't ask me what I was thinking of when initially lining it out other than it was done before the leaves came out on the trees but that was rectified after I looked up and saw the trees! I guess that I should have taken a course or two in horticulture instead of all those psych classes J.$75.00
