I guess that is why daylilies are at the top of the list when going to the NGA plants database, lol!
To put it in perspective:
There are over 25,000 daffodil cultivars

over 3,000 tulip cultivars

over 63,000 irises (I couldn't find the actual number of cultivars on the iris society page, so this is from NGA's database)
