Hortaholic said: Being fond of white daylilies, I was drawn to 'Casper the Ghost' (Roycroft 2019).

But then, I was a little surprised to find this note in the description:

"Note: Was formerly test sold as seedling 08-525-near white and also by our garden name of "Forlorn Phantom 2". Since it was so popular we decided to register and introduce. So, here it is!"

I imagine it couldn't be registered as 'Forlorn Phantom 2" because there already is a registered 'Forlorn Phantom':

Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Forlorn Phantom')

So now there are potentially two 'Forlorn Phantom's in circulation presumably. Of course there's no issue selling unregistered seedlings as long as it's not with a name.

Another example from the source originally under discussion here is 'Frankly Scarlet'. There is a registered 'Frankly Scarlet' and an unregistered "Frankly Scarlet". I suspect more people have the unregistered one than the registered.
