Such a cute, tiny little bloom at 3 inches. But I guess it doesn't qualify as a miniature according to the AHS daylily dictionary (must be less than 3 inches).

I do not recommend Purple de Oro for the South. The blooms faded terribly in the sun in my zone 8b garden, and it was extremely rust-prone. I had to get rid of it.
