The scape height is about 14 inches and the flowers are 4 inches across at widest disaster. They're not nearly as tall as the toreador cape daylillies growing next to them which have 2 foot scapes and taller!!!

I have been going around to the local Home Depot stores and Lowe's Stores to see what they carry because I know the people who previously owned this house and planted that daylily garden shopped at those stores...they didn't do anything exotic or rare. But I found nothing that looks like the white ones. I did find toreador's cape at the store and it was on my list of what I suspected the red ones could be.

Something weird is that I thought we had 6 daylillies but we had 7. One bloomed this summer that didn't come up last summer. Daylilly blackthorne. No idea why that is. The previous homeowners used that landscaping fabric stuff and it is like a black plastic material and it was interfering with the root systems of things in the front yard and the backyard. My husband and I tore it out of both sides of the landscaped area in the front yard and we were able to get it out and pretty much one piece In each area.

But not so in the daylilly garden in the back yard. It disintegrated into lots of pieces back there and when I dig back there I find pieces of black plastic mixed in with the nasty black clay that eastern Oklahoma has. And when I was dividing some daylilies this year, I would find that black plastic material wrapped around some of the root systems. 😡
