Up here ( Canada) ALL the daylilies I have ever bought mail order from any source looked like that. And they all cost $15.00 to $25.00 (we get ripped off a lot up here). I no longer mail order any daylilies. I have found a couple places now that have better varieties (still quite expensive) but they are direct from grower. Lat year I planted the last of my mail order daylilies and this spring all I see is a small single fan of each, no increase on any of them. They always take a couple years to get established and then I see good growth.
