As we all know, many earlier daylilies were registered without any photo ... and descriptors can be confusing! I purchased my 'Travers' in 2021 from Daylily Days, registered AHS Display Garden in Johnstown, NY. But I still found the description questionable when the daylily began blooming... so I did a search for another source of info, and found that 'Travers' is also registered in South Dakota State University's gardens' Daylily Collection.
I contacted them, and my original request was passed to their garden manager, Barb Laschkewitsch ... who has replied: "the good news is our plant looks just like yours". So, based on both the AHS display garden and SDSU's matching plants, I do believe that my 'Travers' is the Saxton 1976 registered daylily.
While I find the description of the edge as 'snow pink' confusing (at best) I am happy to provide photos of the daylily for all concerned.
