I've been going through some image files in my spare time this week and found a few more talls.
The Levitating Ananuki is registered at 64" it is a kid from Notify Ground Crew. A late bloomer as you can see from the buds in the image, the cultivars in the front are around 32 - 34" and have a few buds left. Ananuki is not a huge plant and doesn't take up any more space than a regular cultivar, it's also a bit on the slower side multiplying for me.

Another tall late bloomer is Mascara Snake, registered at 57". The scapes reach the registered height but are slender and can not hold the weight of the large blooms so tend to lean over the shorter cultivars.

Also really like the sound of Juli's seedling with the tall foliage! Anything to add some height in a bed of daylilies breaks up the horizontal line making your eyes move up and down.
