There are some beauties here that will certainly get named and registered.

Donald,
While some hybridizers make selections from the first bloom and trash the rest, we have ample garden space to let ours grow for the 3 years that you would normally give a new purchase for evaluation.
Some seedlings tell all there is to tell in the first bloom season while others show dramatic improvement by the 2nd and 3rd year.
The answer can be yes to all the attributes you listed and a few additional ones for those that show improvement over a couple of years.
I would have trashed at least a few that have turned out to be real beauties if they were only seen the first year. When daylilies are moved it sets them back and they have to re-establish to perform so they may need to stay in the same place for 3 years.
