Little Lemon Twist is among my favorites!

It bloomed the first year and multiplied nicely by the second. The slim scapes are well- proportioned to the flowers and strong enough to hold the blooms up smartly even in rainy windy weather.

Buds open in late afternoon/early evening to a perfect flat star shape, and by the next morning the flower has twisted into the lovely crispate form shown in photos. It actually holds up well for most of the day and usually still looks reasonably fresh when the next day's buds start to open. I had also mentioned to Janice that it was nocturnal, and she said the registration was being updated on the AHS database (thanks for sharing the story about Pat, Julie!).

It is one of my earliest daylilies (starting after the flush of Stella but before the EM season) and bloomed for several weeks into the beginning of the EM ones. It doesn't rebloom.

Little Lemon Twist also won the AM and ATG in 2017 and ESB in 2019.
