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. | 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.

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 white the flower looks in the garden. | On the left is Clarity Of Purpose in the afternoon, photographed in direct sun.

| − | As a tall, early, brilliant near-white, Clarity Of Purpose is is a beacon in the garden, drawing attention from quite a distance. It usually blooms a week after [[Stella De Oro]], about the same time [[Happy Returns]] blooms, making it appropriate for a June perennial border. Not from rebloom lines, and not a rebloomer for me. | + | As a tall, early, brilliant near-white, Clarity Of Purpose is is a beacon in the garden, drawing attention from quite a distance.

When I first saw Clarity Of Purpose and its siblings, I was so impressed that I remade the cross. The result was [[Yearn To Be Clouds]]. | When I first saw Clarity Of Purpose and its siblings, I was so impressed that I remade the cross. The result was [[Yearn To Be Clouds]]. | ||
