Just a couple of points regarding the attempts to identify daylilies encountered in this manner & then attempting to ID them by SUGGESTED comparative visual characteristics .....
(1) Many (MOST?) collectors have a few such daylilies & they are satisfied to simply label them for themselves as a 'NOID' - ( 'No Idea' re ID) ie - 'NOID RED' ... or ... 'NOID Loew's RED 2021'
(2) Attempting to match what you have with internet suggestions might satisfy your curiosity, however, it can complicate plant ID's down the line. Consider that somebody tells you your plant looks like - or even 'confirms' for you - that it is 'Weird Luis's Red Underwear' ... And then you pass a few divisions on to others down the line as 'WLRU' will only complicate the daylily marketplace or collector's sources. (My recommendation is DON'T DO IT! - Consider being satisfied if you like your plant with (1) above.
(3) Much the same as (1) above, some daylily collectors simply give their plant a 'Personal Garden Name' (Instead of 'NOID') such as 'Tom's Toothbrush' AND ALWAYS reveal that identity as 'NR' (Not AHS Registered.)
(4) Your purchase could be one of several such scenarios - Someone's unregistered seedling; an unidentifiable actual AHS registered cultivar missing proper ID; some marketer's plant put 'Out There' with his own name (NOT involving AHS registration); etc. etc.
My suggestion is ALWAYS go with (1) above whenever you don't have real proof of a cultivar's ID.
Our chosen field of daylilies has become much more complicated in recent years what with cultivars in the current active marketplace with proper names BUT without being AHS registered (NR's) + Patented Cultivars + 'Dual Named' cultivars (Jersey early Bird Cardinal which is also AHS registered as 'Endless Heart'). Plus Trademarked Names (TM's) which may or not be AHS registered ... Seedlings ....
