At one time, I was interested in small-tall. After looking and looking for plants that fit that, and talking to many people, that most people consider small/tall to be a fault. They think that they are unbalanced. Years ago, I had a long conversation with John Benz about small/tall. John has an amazing memory and understanding of pedigrees and individual plants. He was telling me a lot of info, but gently discouraging me from working with them. I never found enough small/tall to work with back then. I still like them. Curt Hanson has a few he works with - Tets - and I like them a lot. His Burning Hot Spot is a superb plant, and nicely shaped small flowers.
I regret that I am **still** working on my photo organizing, and can't come up with photos of these for you.
Are you looking to work with Tets or Dips?
Here is a list of some of the small ones I have grown.
Diploids
Little Wild flower 2 13 - seldom opens or doubles for me.
Mary Ethel Anderson 2.5" - 18" Great plant. Lovely flower placement on the scape. Usually reblooms.
Leprechaun's Lace 2.75 15 A real favorite of mine. Always reblooms and also instant reblooms. The second most flowering DL I have
Punk 2.75 26 Supposed to be a sib to Pardon Me. Superb branching and bud count. Dusky purple that has given me some interesting seedlings.
Nutmeg Elf - 3" 18" A real favorite. Way more than 18" here - more like 32
Alpine mist 3" 18" I need to find this one and get it again. Crossing AM to Punk gave me some really interesting and different colored seedlings.

pennys worth 1.5 10 My very favorite small, and in my top 5 over all daylilies. Reblooms and reblooms here. So small, you can tuck it in practically anywhere along the edge of the perennial border. I also like the clear yellow color.
