(edit - I split this off from the Bob Carr thread because I thought it deserved it's own thread - this is an interesting question! --- Juli)

CHARMED EXISTENCE has a small flower in the 4-inch range, but it makes a big impact in a clump.

Debra, you made a very interesting comment: "Being a dormant, it's taller in the north than it was in Florida."
Do you know why this would be true? Is this because daylight hours during spring and early summer are longer in the north than in the south in the Northern hemisphere? Why would dormants rather than Ev's or Sev's respond differently to latitude?
I've seen enormous differences in plants (though not daylilies specifically) raised in Northern Europe vs Northern California. But, it hadn't occurred to me that the height of daylilies would also be affected.
Thanks!
