We were discussing name issues on another thread on here, and All-American daylilies came up. That is a company that you need to be very careful with. They sometimes put their own names on named and registered daylilies. I've got one myself. I do know that they sell some with the proper names, but I would never, ever, buy a daylily from them, just because they are unethical, in my opinion. I bought Dream Souffle, and it is beautiful. I found out later that there was no daylily that was registered with that name. That is because it's actually Dublin Elaine, which I found out from the other thread. Chaps my hide that they "stole" it and put their own name on it, and then had the nerve to trademark the name.

I just went to their site, and checked some of the ones that they have listed against the AHS database They have one with the name of Summer Valentine, and it isn't even close to the real Summer Valentine. There is also Lady Elizabeth, which on their site, is a white daylily. The database has one from 1948 that is a yellow. Lavender Vista, on their site, doesn't match the description of the registered one. Same with Plum Perfect, and Lady Lucille. A few have the correct names on them, but that doesn't make up for the others.
