sooby said:I expect you already know this, but daylilies are actually not lilies, even though daylily people sometimes call them that as a kind of daylily "slang." Just thought I'd mention it since there's currently a thread related to the confusion over that on another NGA forum.

I had no idea! Although, in my internet searches for "lilies" yesterday, no daylilies showed up. Now I know why! So interesting...this is what I love about flowers. You think you might have something figured out, then a curveball comes and reminds you that you don't know much at all

So are daylilies their own "thing"? I'm going to start looking stuff up...

Edited to add: I'll take a pic of this whole plant to make sure it's truly a daylily...but I'm cautiously optimistic it is.
