At least 30 years ago I had a few daylilies but they had to be moved and in the ensuing years they have survived by the skin of their teeth. The soil they are in has a lot of clay, and they didn't get more than an occasional watering. Last year I somehow let myself get sucked into the world of daylilies and now I have many, many dozens of registered plants, all properly labeled. Unfortunately I have no clue as to the names of my older varieties, some of which I relocated to better conditions, and am aware that at this point it will be impossible to ID them. However, I'm seeking the wisdom of the crowd to tell me if the relocated plant in this photo is a crispate form. If not, what is it? Thanks

What is it about this flower that makes you think it could be a crispate? Maybe you see something about it that I do not see in the photo.

As far as form, My opinion is the "form" is a "single"

Here is a link that may be helpful. The Daylily Dictionary defines crispate as well as the other unusual forms, doubles, singles etc.

(By the way, when you come to the Daylily Forum here, on the right hand side in the box Welcome to the Daylilies Forum, there is a link to the Daylily Dictionary as well as some other very helpful links. )

It can also be called an "open" form. Not an official term but ADS sells a book called "The Open Form Daylily"

Juli,
Thanks for the welcome.I'm mostly a lurker but have previously posted on the forum. I am aware of the Daylily Dictionary and had read the definition before I asked my question. I needed further assistance because the bloom looks different than anything else that I have - much more elongated and not as full as a normal single. If it isn't a crispate then I've learned something.I'll go with "open" form because it has no twisting or quilling.
