Curious that 'Freedom Is Not Free' is registered as a Tet but apparently crossed to 'Wild Rose Fandango', a Dip, to create a dip child 'Lily Farm Arachnid Orbiter'. I will note that the hybridizer had FINF listed as a Tet on his website in 2020

Based on child plants associated with this cultivar, it is a diploid
Based on the reference link, this cultivar is a tetraploid
I am surprised AHS let the children be listed with a unregistered daylily as a parent.
Cultivar does not perform well in my garden; does not increase and rarely blooms. I only keep it because I am too lazy to dig it up and throw it over the fence.

Bought in 2001, apparent year of introduction.
This daylily is shown to be registered as spatulate, I do not see that look at all in the photos presented here. Does any one see this daylily as showing the spatulate form?
This plant was named in memory of Dr. Huey Long, who had a 37 year career in academia. He served at Florida Southern College, Florida State University, University of Georgia and University of Oklahoma as well as visiting professorships in Canada, England, Germany, and Sweden.
One of only (2) daylilies I have lost over many years (here in zone 3) that I believe failed to survive due to lack of cold hardiness. Treated it precisely the same as all others coming from a southern garden: planted in spring (about an inch deeper than northern garden suppliers), and mulched it well. It struggled to adapt even over our short, cool summer and did not survive its first winter here. Would not recommend for cold climate gardens.
While Walter Jablonski may not be the most beautiful daylily in a garden, it is a wonderful daylily. I wanted something different and have not had a year yet to disappoint. Walter Jablonski is a very prolific bloomer and I always look forward to an abundance of flowers. I truly enjoy the rich color and deep veining.
'Yankee Pinstripes' is noted as blooming early midseason. 2023 was the first year for it in my zone 3 gardens and the FFE was on 24 Jul ... it was still flowering steadily on the 10th of September. That is a minimum of eight weeks of buds and blooms ... not listed as reblooming, but I think it must have sent up rebloom scapes. (?) I will be watching for that in the coming seasons.
I have noticed that 'Eviction Notice' has more of a raspberry pink tone earlier in the day than later on. The colour does not 'change' so much as it seems to deepen slightly towards the red end of the spectrum by afternoon, particularly on days with a lot of sun.
'Singing in the Wind' is registered as very late and I will attest to that, as it blooms well here in mid-September. Although there does not seem to be a category for daylilies whose buds survive frost well, 'Singing in the Wind' will continue to bloom after we begin hitting nights that drop below freezing. For northern gardeners who want to extend the season of blooms, I would recommend this daylily for its beauty and its hardy nature. And, yes - it's fragrant.
'Higgledy-Piggledy' exhibits the gray-lavender tones I most associate with Trahlyta, as seen clearly in the single form FFE I posted from Aug 2023. Note that it doubles 40%, though the double is striking when seen. This is its first summer in garden, will look forward to next year's flowers.
I did not give this plant the credit it deserves when registering it, probably due to constantly moving it around and lining out. Once established for 2 bloom seasons, it has over 30 buds.
'Merry Morgan' (Bunting 2008) is noted as being polymerous (99%) and single form. In reality, it doubles in form (nearly 99%), but does not poly with any consistency. I think I have seen two or maybe three poly blooms on it in the five years I have had it.
If you appreciate it for its double (not single) form, then I would say that it is reliably hardy in northern gardens. If your interest is for its ability to produce polymerous blooms, then I would say there are many better options to choose among.
'Emerald Isle' is a vintage daylily (Fay, 1954) with 40-inch scapes, and with buds and blooms which just won't quit. The flowers are about 5.5 to 6-inches... I have never noticed any fragrance... but they start the early day at almost a pastel, pale butter yellow and by afternoon, light the garden with deep golden-yellow sunshine.
As a clump, there are between 10 and 15 scapes, but each scape is just loaded with slender, elegant buds. 'Emerald Isle' blooms from late July till end of August (end of summer) and should never be taken for granted. The flowers are well-spaced, never hang up or water spot, and 'Emerald Isle' tosses out poly blooms almost casually among the usual flowers... at least one (among the dozen or more) almost daily. Cold-hardy and gorgeous.
