I mentioned this on the other garden forum a long time ago. So many people have the wrong one that they just don't seem to want to accept it. I finally think I figured out that the imposter Dorothy Lambert that everyone has is actually 'Something'.
I ordered it and when it bloomed it is identical to my imposter Dororthy Lambert. You can find the correct images in a few different places. I tried getting permission to use the AHS photo but they replied that they can not give permission. http://ezdaylilies.com/Lambert...

I originally questioned it because Tranquil Lake Nursery had a completely different pic. http://www.tranquil-lake.com/c...
Plus the AHS description does not match the imposter. I think Oakes or some other nursery sold it mislabeled and it spiraled from there.
If you check Tinkers database http://www.daylilydb.com/ you can see a picture of something as well. The AHS description seems much more likely except mine has never reached the height listed, but I think that can be true with lots of Daylilies.

Plant sold to me as Dorothy Lambert on left. Something on right in a pot.
