This image is markedly different from every other photo in this collection.

Most first-generation Ed Murray kids have a distinct throat pattern, which is depicted in all of the other photos.
It's a much more 'refined' flower than 'Vesuvian', with cleaner color.
Petal arrangement and geometry (esp.throat overlap) is also non-typical.

I realize climate, weather and bloom stage of the scape can have significant effects on bloom appearance, but this one is pretty far out of range.

Umm, I have no idea as I grew it many, many years ago back when I was just starting in daylilies. I DID order a few times from John Benz back in those days and he sent this to me as a bonus with something else I ordered. I grew it until around 2013, according to the dates on the pictures. This picture submitted is so old that it came from my old computer and was not even taken on the camera I use now, but a cheaper digitial camera when I first switched to digital! I have a few other pictures that I took when it grew here that were taken later and might look more like the others. Will submit a couple However seeing how this came directly from the originator, I'd guess it is correct.

Thanks Julie,
I just saw your recent submissions, and they do look more like 'typical' blooms of Vesuvian. Funny things happen in daylilies, that's for sure.
