I bought 'Mulberry Sherbet' from NGA member lilydaydreamer (Lisa Klette) in April 2016. It has an unusual coloring to it which I like. Seeing this "Daylily of the Day" has reminded me that I haven't added any pictures to the database. I will give a better review later, but I wanted to make sure I didn't forget to do it so am entering this now. More later!

Edited 7/18/19 (Later came a lot later than I thought it would!)
Mulberry Sherbet only has 2-3 way branching and about 9 buds. Not very good bud count, but it does put up a lot of scapes. I did not get fan count, but it seems to be multiplying well.

It does get about 3 feet tall and the scapes are skinny, but they hold the blooms up well.

The mulberry coloring does look darker in the morning and on cloudy days. It gets washed out later in the day, which is when these pictures were taken (it reached 90 degrees and was very humid yesterday), but it is still pretty, I think.
