No. If you don't have scapes or blooms yet or if you just couldn't get the measurements, that is fine. But would love to have measurements included.

Check out these links for measurements:

Quoted from the AHS registration page: http://www.daylilies.org/Dayli...

How to measure a bloom: Imagine a wire circle that is just large enough for the flower to pass through without touching. The diameter of the circle in inches will be the diameter of the flower. If you prefer, use a ruler and measure from tip to tip at the widest point and this will be the diameter. The main thing to remember is to measure as naturally standing - do not uncurl recurved flowers for the measurement. The second thing to remember in recording this measurement is that a flower will be classed as miniature (i.e., less than 3 inches), small (3 inches to 4-1/2 inches), large (4-1/2 inches or more), and extra-large (7" and greater) according to the registered diameter. For instructions on measuring Spider daylilies, see the discussion under "FORM".

How to measure the height of a scape: The height of scape should be given in inches as it grows in your garden. Place a yard stick at ground level and measure to the tip of the scape. Since there is apt to be variation in height between scapes, give the average in full inches; fractions of inches will be discarded.

And these are explanations of Daylily Terms:

What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
