Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Lake of Fire')

I bought Lake of Fire from Gilbert Wild in March of 2020. Initially they sent me Lady Georgia by mistake, but eventually, by August, they sent the right plant.

Emmerich plants always take time to get going and G Wild plants are tiny. I saw no bloom in 2021.
In 2022, LOF bloomed from July 1-16 with 6 blooms counted
In 2023, LOF bloomed from July 6-16 with 9 blooms.
I don't have it marked, so I don't have a fan count going.
I like the bloom very much but so far, there haven't been enough of them. They also have been very varied in quality. Some are nice and bright but others are pallid and uninteresting. So the jury is still out on this flower. Here are some color variations

Purchased in 2021. It has increased to five fans, I'm hoping the blooms will be more consistent this year, they seem to have a hard time opening or a defective mottle, but when it blooms correctly it's gorgeous.
