I bought a nice clump of 12 fans of this daylily June 2016.

Not the best of times, but that's how things go sometimes Hilarious!
It was a warm Summer (for us) and I kept them in a tub of water for 2 weeks before I had the opportunity to plant them out.
It had 1 scape when I bought it, which is always nice because you than can see that you got the right cultivar Whistling

In the year that I've had it in my garden is has multiplied from 12 to 17 fans.
It has 12 scapes this year, first flower on 21th of June, last flower will be this week.
The scapes are between 36 and 40 inches, 13 flowers per scape.
Size of the flowers is around 7 inches.

I don't have much in this color as I always was the pink-lavender-purple-blue type of girl...
But Aztec Firebird gives a little 'zing' to my garden that I'm growing rather enthousiastic about Lovey dubby

Edited to add:
Scapes are not very thick, but strong enough to keep the flowers well above the foliage.
I only used some supporters to keep 2 scapes away from the path, because I kept brushing against the flowers.. (should have planted it more to the middle of the border! D'Oh! )
