There could be Munsons in that bed. Everything is overgrown and many have probably crossed with each other. There are also trees in that bed (and prickers and wild digitalis....) and they have continued to grow, and some have thrived. There are some beautiful daylilies in there. I Have transplanted a few here to Wisconsin and they seem to be my hardiest ones, but of course, no names. These first two are some of the half dozen I have transplanted to Wisconsin over the last few years. When I do this, it is in October so I never know what I am digging up. And no, the yellow is not normally a double.

These are photos from our property in western PA on the Allegheny River. We call it a Cottage, but in reality it is a falling down trailer that brings down the neighbors property values Whistling

They have been growing wild and undisturbed pretty much since the 1960's. This daylily farm was not originally part of our property, my parents added a few more acres when it became available years ago. My Mom's parents lived in the Cottage, and I can remember my Dad's parents visiting them, and Grandpa ordering daylilies from this farm to be sent to North Dakota where he lived (he used to hybridize - never registered any that I am aware of)
