I sometimes tell my neighbor: if it were not for her, I would have few nice things at all. She once gifted me a designer daylily called "Chicago Fire", on condition I share the plant with her once it was large enough to split. Now both yards have one of these flaming red daylily plants, which bloom very well.
I have learned to hybridize the daylilies--which is easy but takes patience to see the results. The one above is an example of one of my better ones.
Two photos above are other "titled" purchased daylilies, I think. (especially the gold and orange).
