Sue, this one is another can of worms! This double, which some believe is actually 'Kwanso' and it does look like it, has been sold as 'Apricot Beauty' for longer than the cultivar that was registered by the AHS as such in 2013. See these images for daylily Apricot Beauty on Google:

I tried to find when this version of Apricot Beauty first started being sold as such, I thought I remembered it from the UK, and found this nursery that lists it as Holman 1963, not that that's definitive:

Does anyone have the paper checklists to make sure it isn't MIA in the AHS Database or just wasn't registered?

While looking, just to add to the confusion, I find Gilbert Wild is selling yet another daylily as Apricot Beauty:

Sighing!
