My daughter and I won Siloam Grace Stamile in an online auction in 2011. I don't know if she still has it, but I gave my part away in 2022 only because of downsizing efforts. It is a beautiful, miniature bloom and small plant for the front of the border. It is so photogenic that I had trouble paring down the pictures to include here.
At only 14" tall with a 2.12" bloom, it is so little that it got lost in my landscape.
It got some shade from the Japanese cherry tree, but like a lot of daylilies, by 7pm the blooms were somewhat faded.
I've never seen rust on it, even though the database shows that it "shows susceptibility". It does get some extra petaloid tissue occasionally.
Branching and bud count is good with 3-way branching and around 15-20 buds. It blooms from mid-June until the first week of July in my zone 6b garden (although I guess with the brand new 2023 USDA plant hardiness map, I am technically in zone 7 now:

I love early morning openers (EMO's) and this one definitely is.
