Before I knew any better, I bought some daylilies from an online place called "Tulip World." The daylilies arrived as yellowish and tiny, packaged in plastic bags. They grew OK and bloomed, but the blooms were never as vibrantly colored as the pictures. When I joined the forum and read about tissue culturing, I suspected that what I had bought from Tulip World were tissue-cultured plants. By then one of the plants I had bought from them had not returned. I bought a plant of the same cultivar of the second one from an actual daylily grower and planted it side-by-side with the suspected TC one for a direct comparison. But the TC didn't come back this year.

I do have a picture of it, though. This is When My Sweetheart Returns from Tulip World:
