Stunning orange seedling, Lyle. I love orange daylilies and grow quite a few. APACHE SUNRISE is one that stops me in my tracks every time I see it bloom. Such a big bloom wirh wide petals. I saw it in May at Frank Smith's after it had been raining for a half day. Nearly every bloom in the garden was mushy and the color was streaked but APACHE looked as fresh as if it had just opened and looked just like the photo on their web site. In my TN garden, the bloom is not quite as dark. I crossed it with lots of oranges last summer.
