    I have Cayenne and Better Late Than Never, both intros by Jim Murphy, growing very near each other in one of my late bloomer daylily beds. Both are reddish and have the same flower form. Other than the fact that Cayenne has shorter scapes than Better Late Than Never, I could not see any difference in the two blooms.

    Listed as a rebloomer, Cayenne has never rebloomed for me.
