Another Unknown Daylily

15 years ago

I posted a week or two ago about a Daylily from Kentucky. I didn't even think the bloom looked right, but last year they didn't bloom I guess since I moved them. Apparently I had one kind and the lady next door gave me some others I put long my house. I didn't see them bloom in 2007. I am posting a picture of the bloom I already posted, its bloom is 2.5" wide. The one that just started to bloom is a lighter yellow and the bloom is 5" across. Bothe are fragrant, but only if you stick your knows right into them. Know what either one is?

Jake, the 2.5" gold one looks like 'Penny's Worth'. Sorry I don't have a photo of mine to compare yet, but it's usually the first to bloom here.

I think you may be right; thank you! Would it be pretty common for an older neighbor to pick up at Lowe's or Walm-Mart and plants by thier mailbox? I know this neighbor wouldn't have bought it online.

I find it hard to believe the person who sent it to you has no idea what it is.

I don't know. Penny's Worth was introduced in 1987 & seems to be available from lots of different vendors, it sure could have been sold at local garden centers. Mine was sent to me from a friend in New York...
I found a photo of mine ~

The bigger yellow one could be Hyperion.
