The registration info on the American Daylily Society website has this listed incorrectly as a tetraploid. It's been corrected here.

The orange unregistered version can be found here:
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Lady Lucille by Blooms of Bressingham')

Winner of Hybrid of Distinction and Best New Commercial Introduction at the American Begonia Society 2022 National Convention

From Steve's Leaves:

"Begonia lanceolata is a native to Brazil and grows naturally in trees as an epiphyte. The leaf margin is wavy and the mature plant does not have spots.
B. lanceolata has been mislabeled B. herbacea for a long time, but Dr. Mark Tebbitt has researched the original descriptions of these two species and has found that the names were switched in cultivation. From the original descriptions the plant with the smooth leaf margins should be B. herbacea and the one with the wavy leaf margins should be B. lanceolata. For more details on the mixup, see Dr. Mark Tebbitt's book, Begonias, Cultivation, Identification, and Natural History, Timber Press, page 148."

From Steve's Leaves:

"Micro Mo has deep black leaves similar to 'Mo Reese' and 'Mini Mo' but dainty and diminutive in size."

Same as the old-fashioned cultivar except 'Helix' has pronounced double spiraled leaves

Remove spent flowers to encourage repeat blooms. Cut plant back to about 10-12" tall in the Fall to prevent woodiness.

This is a non-invasive variety that blooms later than the well-known Chinese and Japanese varieties.

'Autumn Joy' has star-like flowers which emerge pink, gradually change to deep rose-red and then coppery-rust in autumn as they die.

Young's Mesa Nursery 1985
(Not to be confused with the Fancy Leaf Pelargonium 'Maureen')

The lavender bitone spidery form in circulation with nurseries is not the registered 1938 Nesmith daylily, thus this entry was made for the unknown but pretty imposter plant.

Present in the eastern parts of South Africa in Mpumalanga, Swaziland, the eastern Free State, KwaZulu-Natal, Lesotho and the Eastern Cape, often in grassland.

Annie's Annuals & Perennials states:

"Profuse.5-.75" blooms appear in glowing 3" clusters from March to May lighting up the shrub even in full shade! Tough, robust and fast, it will grow and bloom with abandon in decently draining soil and annual side-dress of compost. Non-aggressive roots, so it's easy to place. Tolerates redwood roots ! Doesn't mind being pruned to any shape. Deer resistant!"

Reportedly a vendor was selling the yellow with bold eyed 'Helicon' under the name "Bonanza" and this has now became the most commonly found "Bonanza".
It does not match the description of Lee Gates' Bonanza "red orange self with green throat",
or the Bonanza by Ferrick from 1954 "orange yellow self.

This is a Kordes rose, so I was very surprised at how poorly the bush looks every year, not just the blackspot, which I can tolerate to some extent in my other roses, but the rust is so bad that I cringed every time I walked by it. Every year I had high hopes seeing the nice new green foliage, but in no time the rust developed. I gave up thinking it would improve as it matured and I finally removed it.

Originally named 'Hetty Krauss,' the valid name of a plant found in Colombia and later renamed 'Dr. Seuss.'

According to Old House Gardens:
"Although many sources offer this petite, charming wildflower, virtually all deliver cheap impostors such as hybrid 'Lady Jane' (oversized, and empty inside) or modern cream-to-yellow forms instead of the ancient rose and WHITE with its heart of deep, ravishing purple."

Many images here are related to the species.

From the breeder, Floret Flower Farm:

"This mix of medium sized, mostly double blooms comes in an enchanting range of vivid sherbet tones including raspberry, tangerine, magenta, lemon, apricot, dusty lilac and blush with striking lavender centers. "
