Frillylily said:So I tried another search here at NGA using evergreen, red, and 1999. I got no results. I went to AHS website and advance searched those same 3 things and got 72 results(8 pgs). Some of them look to not fit the description in that only the eye pattern is red, but most of them are red. All of them are 1999. The search feature here just does not work.

I got 72 results in the NGA database.

Choose your various options below, then click Search to view plants that match all the selected options. Note that your search results will only include plants that match EVERY option you select.
Results: Search query:
Bloom time: Midseason
Plant Traits: Diurnal
Bloom Traits: Diamond Dusted
Flower Color: Pink

No results found. Your query may have been too specific. Try removing some of the options and try again.

Well here's how my searches go. Searched for midseason, day opening, diamond dusted pink daylilies. Got no results. Makes no sense to me. Obviously there are many many daylilies that should be fitting that bill. Anytime I use the search here on NGA, the more options I choose, I get no results at all. If I only choose one or two options, I still get results that I know are wrong.

I got 70 results in the NGA database.

Searches rely on the hybridizer info and what box you check, so while a daylily may be pink and diamond dusted unless that info is in the database, from the hybridizer registration info or added by a member, your checked box can't pull them up.

Are you using the color check boxes way down on the search page? Don't use those. Type the color in the "Color Description" box right below Bloom Form instead.
If you do the search like this...
Bloom Time - Midseason (Check box)
Plant Traits- Diurnal (Check box)
Bloom Traits - Diamond Dusted (Check box)
Color Description - Pink (type in)

Yes, Anniversary Keepsake is yellow, but if you look at the registration info in Color Description you will see " diamond dusted greenish lemon yellow touched pink" ( Diamond Dusted & Pink).
