Donald , I agree with your last paragraph, this wrong daylily being sold under a certain name has been a big problem over the years . I can think of two off the top of my head. One is Chloe and Miss Jessie , quite often Miss Jessie is sold as Chloe The other one that comes up all the time is Magic Dawn . I have ordered this plant several times from different sellers, each time hoping to get the right plant . Nope, I have gotten the wrong plant every time . Even if you tell the sellers that it is the wrong plant that they are advertising and it is not Magic Dawn it is Howdy , it doesn' t seem to matter .The description for the plant , copied exactly from the AHS database is used by the seller but the image on the seller's website looks nothing like the description ...still doesn't seem to matter . Then each time the plant gets sold one more person is growing the wrong plant and if they decide to sell some it just perpetuates the situation . I can't understand why people continue to do this . Call me crazy I like to have the plant I ordered .
Edit to add: I also know of one daylily seller in England who is selling the daylily
Golliwog as Golly. When I wrote to inquire about it and suggest that the real name was Golliwog I was told they have changed the name and sold it by their abbreviated name as some buyers in England were offended by the name . Why would someone do this ? If that is indeed the case would you not just take it off your selling list ? And people wonder why daylilies are misnamed or lost .
