I am also glad Nan rebooted this thread and I also read all the way through it. Like at least one of the members, all my daylilies are "garden" daylilies as I do no hybridizing. It was helpful to read everyone else's definitions and descriptions of what he or she looks for in a daylily. I've always opted for what attracts me in the moment - color, shape of the bloom - without much consideration given to strength of the scapes, longevity of bloom, height, hardiness, etc. Participating in these forums is educational and I now appreciate other characteristics of daylilies as well. I've begun to look for the same things as Larry and Nan; I want my gardens to be beautiful as well as interesting. I mix other plants with the daylilies; I hope to eventually reach a sort of "cottage" garden appearance, with the idea that the more plants, the fewer weeds.
Orion, that is a beautiful seedling!!
