Daylily (Hemerocallis 'O'Bannon Orchid')

Maine zone 5a Have been growing this since 2019, big, beautiful blooms every year.

I planted this in May of 2022, after receiving two fans from Northern Lights. By October, it had a bad case of rust as it was near the center of the outbreak.

In April 2023, it started the season with the same two fans but by October had grown to five. I'm pretty sure that I will finally see some bloom on this, this coming season. I'll update this post in the Fall.

Got this last year from the Hybridizer, super distinctive! I have a small clump, it bloomed the first year, spread the pollen liberally, did not try to set on it, as to not set it back, pollen was good! I would highly recommend...

I saw this one as a seedling , and knew I had to have it!
Purchased 2014 from hybridizer
Attractive plant with big blooms, distinctive colors.
Med/fast growth. I have divided it several times and moved once… recovers quickly.
I have not tried to use it for hybridizing but it has set bee pods.
