Looking for help on this to see if I have two daylilies that could be the same. If you have Witch Stitchery or Paper Butterfly, please chime in. Do they really look that much alike?
I was out taking pictures today and noticed that I have two daylilies that look identical in my eyes. Witch Stitchery (purchased in 2007) and Paper Butterfly (purchased in 2009). Now I am wondering if one of them was misnamed when I purchased it.
Neither of these has been transplanted or divided since I bought them... until last year when I moved Paper Butterfly. It just so happens that I moved it to a spot just about 4 feet from Witch Stitchery. So now they are both blooming and it hits me like a ton of bricks. They look the same.
I am wondering if I got two Witch Stitchery or two Paper Butterfly.
Here are the stats:
Paper Butterfly (Morss, 1983)
height 24in (61cm), bloom 6in (15.0cm), season E, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, Cream peach and blue violet blend with blue violet eyezone and green throat. (((sdlg × Chicago Two Bits) × Thais) × ((Silver Veil × Knave) × (Chicago Mist × Chicago Mist)))
Witch Stitchery (Morss, 1986)
height 26in (66cm), bloom 5.5in (14.0cm), season EE, Rebloom, Semi-Evergreen, Tetraploid, Cream with lavender eyezone edged purple and green throat. ((sdlg × Chicago Two Bits) × Paper Butterfly)
And some pics from today:

Edited to add a garden shot.
Witch Stitchery (forefront) measured 24 inches tall on the scape and the bloom (when I stretched out the petals) measured a little over 6 inches.
Paper Butterfly (background on right) was a little taller at 25 inches and the bloom was 6 inches also.
