Here are Thornbird and what I think is Firedrake. The other option would be Royal Mandarin. Would you call that a green or yellow throat?

Love them both, but man, that second one is nearly perfect isn't it? Very nice

Thanks everyone.
If that second one is Firedrake then it has a green throat.
I don't really think it looks very green. I'll have to check out the books at The Daylily Farm. They should have pics of both. I could only find a pic of Firedrake online and it does look very much like it.
