Hi Dwain! I have no idea what the names of your daylilies are but the red one is really striking.

Where did you get them from and do you have any stats on them? They look to me like they may be older daylilies (no fancy ruffles, edges or patterns) so it may be almost impossible to get you an exact name since there are thousands of registered daylilies.

I was afraid of that, the rust colored one is an average size bloom on a tall slim stem. The original plant came from an old home place in Valdosta, Ga. about 9 years ago and now I have hundreds of blooms and plants.

The pink with yellow throat is a large bloom on short thick stems. It has been a very healthy and Hardy plant. It came from Tifton, Ga about 15 years ago. It came out of a private garden where the grower had many many plants of the same short thick stem but of many color combinations.

Thank you so much for your time. Thank You!

Dwain, we could probably give you some ideas as to guesses if you would like. You'll need to measure the blooms, though. Scape height might help a little, too, although scape heights can really vary depending on the garden.

Off the top of my head, I would guess the second one to be 'Autumn Red' but Autumn red is a little more of a UFO (unusual form) than a spider, and what you have looks more like a spider daylily. Hard to say.

Dwain, WELCOME

I am guessing Hemerocallis fulva for the rust colored one, check it out in the database.
Ditch Lily (Hemerocallis fulva)
You might check with any neighbors you have, daylilies get passed from neighbor to neighbor and often the same varieties are next door, or at least with end the radius of a few blocks.

Larry that's definitely not fulva.
Not sure what they are. I am guessing that they might just be seedlings
Based on the comments by Dewain about many different colors in the private garden. Nevertheless, you never know. Shrug!
