+ | Near-whites are a difficult class of daylilies: they tend to have an assortment of faults. Often foliage, scape, substance or whiteness just aren't that good. In the course of breeding for tall-and-small near-whites, I accidentally got a large which is pretty good for those characteristics. Especially for the north. | ||

+ | So the question is, how white is it? Clarity Of Purpose is an extremely clean near-white with a green throat, white veins, good substance and heavy diamond dusting. Below, I compare it to Joan Senior. The photo is taken in early morning, before either is bleached by the sun. | ||

+ | I'd say that the photo shows Clarity Of Purpose to have a greener throat and less off-white color. Also, a smaller size, narrower petals and less ruffling, to be honest. | ||

+ | On the left is Clarity Of Purpose in the afternoon, photographed in direct sun. Direct sun makes photographs look yellower as you can see from the foliage, but if you examine the photograph at [[http://huben.us/mediawiki/images/3/36/Clarity_Of_Purpose_2.jpg|full resolution]], the diamond dusting really stands out. The same bloom photographed a few seconds later with indirect lighting, gives a more accurate impression of how the flower looks in the garden. | ||
