Yup, with 70,000 registered and who knows how many unregistered, it does get confusing. Add in when even registered daylilies are ID'd incorrectly by simple human error (or roving rizome roots!) from their point of origin, and ... well ... I'd be skeptical of anyone who claims to be absolutely sure about what they have, what ploidy it is, how tall the scape will go in any given environment, etc. But, in balance, as long as someone's not asking $800 for a DF they have not seen bloom, I'm good with people doing their best, questioning things when they seem off, and enjoying all the amazing faces that daylilies present to us.
Somehow that reminds me ... Enchanted Elegance. At first I though my fans could not be right because the eye was soooo chalky and unattractive, not like in the pictures. It was like that all last summer and I'd tagged it for culling. But now it has just bloomed with a nice blended eye and petal, so at least I now believe it is the right plant. I just don't like daylilies that take forever to "settle in" so I may end up tossing it after getting some pollen ... always something, eh?
