I acquired 3 fans of Beautiful Edgings in July 2015 upon which time it was potted up until transplanting into a raised bed in October 2015. It bloomed for the first time in early June (2016) through early July. It has a taller scape than most of my other daylilies. Though I don't remember recording stats on it. It produces elegant blooms that are very pod and pollen fertile (which is one of the reason I was interested in obtaining it). It has produced 2 more fans making it a small clump of 5 fans currently. It seems to be rust resistant as there are rusty plants in the same raised bed yet no rust on it's leaves.

First bloom was smaller and showed a very slight pink edging:

Later blooms showed that the edging disappeared all together. I believe it has to do with the heat factor here. You can see all the pods it set in this photo.:

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