Thanks for the link to the post, Becky! That one definitely sounds like a nice seedling. 6.5" inches is a good size bloom.
I agree with you about the solid colors, which is why I gravitate to the solid color daylilies. Bolder blooms have a lot of landscaping potential, whereas I feel like detailed blooms are more interesting if there are only one or two as focal plants or they are set aside in a special area as plants that you go up to to view closely. Although I do go up to all of my plants individually, my front-yard plants are all a variety of bold, good-for-landscaping daylilies. The small handful of more-detailed daylilies are in my backyard.
