needrain said:I have joked that 'Primal Scream' got its medal for the foliage more than the bloom. Along with all but one daylily, it had its second year here. I consider it to be one of the top four plants at this point. The foliage is the best of any daylily and has looked good for the entire growing season.

but the foliage is so full and sturdy it still makes a full clump. Here's a photo taken from a distance showing some of the foliage characteristics with the bright bloom in sunlight.

Thank you for speaking about the foliage, that is information that I find really useful, both in general and for hybridizing. It's a shame so many people are reporting this to be unusable as a pod parent and a difficult pollen parent, but it might be worth a shot anyway considering it's foliage sounds as good as its beauty.
