I mentioned daylily colors possibly being affected by where the plant grows. I now have two examples of just that. Over the last two years I purchased three seedlings off the LA from Phil Korth. One was described as a red bitone while another was rose. When the first one bloomed here last year, it looked a lot like the picture that had been posted, but once our Georgia heat and humidity too over, the daylily immediately changed. It was not longer a bitone, but became the color of the sepals with a red eye and edge. I e-mailed Phil and asked if he had an explanation. He said that one of the parents, Upon This Rock, had this same behavior in warm temperatures. I had grown Upon This Rock in my garden a couple of years earlier and could confirm his observation. Since our spring was quite brief this year, when the second seedling bloomed here, it was a medium purple, not rose. I am not complaining about either flower, I like them both the way they bloom here. Just changes plans on how I choose to use them. Just thought you might find this interesting.
