'Pardon Me' has quite a bit more yellow in the throat and is also a mini. The blooms are less than 3 inches across. I remember it as being very popular back in the 1990's being sold in the generalist type catalogs ( companies that sell all kinds of plants). Since there are thousands of daylily varieties with many of them being red it would be very difficult to get a firm identity on it.
Here are some photos of 'Pardon Me' in the Daylily Database so you can see the difference:
Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Pardon Me')
You can give it a shot on the daylily forum here. Good luck!
