Hi Lou:
I feel your pain with the deer!!!! Occassionally I have an attack on my sacraficial lilies (I now put unnamed lilies in my ceramic pots), but since I've been using the trellis/bird netting they have not been able to get to my main lily ponds.
The hybrid looks interesting and I will look forward to seeing a close up. Too bad you've been too busy, I really enjoy seeing your photos!!
