Thanks everyone!!! I'm leaning toward Majestic Beauty. It sure looks the same to me! I love Last Man Standing, and it's close, but that one has white on the edges. It's not Final Touch, which I have. I thought it was at first, but it's not shaped the same, and the colors aren't the same. At least not on the one I have. I really think that it's Majestic Beauty, and it's a very fitting name!! It really is beautiful! It only bloomed once for me, the first year I got it, and hasn't bloomed since. But, it's worth waiting for! Vickie, I REALLY appreciate the great photos!! I didn't notice any brown!

I bought this at a small local nursery. The lady who owns the nursery got all of her daylilies from the local daylily club sale. Out of the many that I bought, only 1 had the correct name on it. I have sworn that I will never buy another daylily from this nursery, or from the club. It's not the fault of the nursery, but I do believe that the club wasn't honest, or careful, about tagging their plants. I'm friends with the lady who owns the nursery, and she knows I don't hold it against her. I've tried to help her with the ID on all of the daylilies, and we finally decided that it was just better to remove all of the tags and sell them as mixed. She had a couple hundred pots of them that were wrong!

Juli, I'm pretty sure that it's not a tissue culture, because of where it came from originally. But, I have no idea where the original person got it from, so who knows? I guess it could be, but I think it's very unlikely. I think it looks like a dip too, but I'm no expert! The clump that it is in looks nothing like it, and the other one is a tet as I've successfully crossed it with other tets, both as a pod and pollen parent. It did not set seeds from dip pollen that I dabbed on it, nor did the pollen set seeds on the three dips that I put the pollen on. (That was confusing!) Here's a picture of the other one that was in the same pot. I'd love to get a name for it too, but there are way too many others that look like it.
