I love the question "The one daylily you will always recognize?"
I am still "new" to daylilies, maybe after ten years or so I won't feel so new anymore. I am still shocked to see the photos in the data base of the same daylily and the variety of colors and patterns etc. I took photos this morning and found it very interesting, some of the new blooms did indeed look like what I expected, some did not. So right now for me, looking through all my photos I wonder if there is actually a single one that I would not be easily fooled on if they were growing in another garden. But having said that, one that recently bloomed for me and was instantly recognized (The FFOE looked just like it should) was Bonnie Corley, the feathered eye made this bloom stand out. Photo taken this morning, notice the beetle in the flower. I have been seeing a lot of these lately down in the bloom and you can see some damage on the sepal on the right, I am blaming the beetle for that.
