Sometimes the first blooms are a bit splotchy. You're off to a good start. I think the blooms will look better and better with time. The first year, they are often shorter than later seasons when they've settled in.

Yes, just getting it this year it will look better next year. I think it will probably shape into a nice daylily.

I found Blushing Ruffles . An intro from

https://www.dutchbulbs.com/product/daylily-blushing-ruffles . I am going to guess it is like the Lady series of daylilies and is not a registered daylily. The AHS does not recognize these daylilies and if used for hybridizing must be listed just as ": Seedling" . I have Lady Scarlet , and Lady Lucille from Bressingham Blooms and neither of these are registered with the AHS and must be listed as seedling in any hybridizing I might do with them. Doesn't mean they aren't lovely daylilies they just are not registered daylilies. Took me a long time to find this out when I got those daylilies.

.

Blushing Ruffles is lovely and it is registered. It is a 1975 diploid from the hybridizer MacCalley. I found this information on the American Hemerocallis Society database (http://daylilydatabase.org/search.php). It is the definitive site for daylily registration.

Oops there is one is one on the daylily database for the AHS. However the description doesnt sound like this daylily shown . It is registered as a Gold with crimson overlay and olive green throat. (Palatlakaha × Inward Journey) . Athough who knows there are lots out there that are sold under the incorrect name or dont match the description .

I am afraid , I have to disagree with you Nancy when you say " It is the definitive site for daylily registration" If you mean you must register a daylily thru the AHS then yes I agree you must if you want to a register daylily .

However if you mean it is the best site for finding the plant and the plants information you are looking for , I have to disagree. Info on the AHS databasse is incomplete in many cases and as for needing pictures to register ......there are hundreds registered dayliles with no pictures there . The National Gardening site is a much more complete data base I find , and it includes listings of child plants where applicable . The AHS does not do this . I have found pictures of daylilies I have been searching for there when the AHS has had none.

Thanks to all that have replied. I also have found conflicting information on this and other daylilies.

Hoosier_nan, I also found that but when compared with the info on dutch bulbs it does not match, close but not exact.

Either way it does not matter. And if likes everyone say's, it gets better with age then it will be a winner.

That is true about the pictures on the database. Until recently, the AHS didn't require pictures to be submitted. However, if you are talking about whether a daylily is registered or not, the AHS is the international registry for all daylily hybrids. You also can find offspring of the varieties if you do an advanced search on the AHS site.

David, I think there is a distinct possibility that your daylily is labeled correctly. It's a little hard from a first bloom to see what it really looks like. Give it a year or two before you decide it's mislabeled.

No Matter what David I think your bloom is very nice . I wouldnt be tossing it away any time soon. When I first started with daylilies , I didnt even know there were daylilies with different heights or bloom times. I now 10 years later plus am still learning about the wonderful plant.

Oh don't worry it's not going anywhere. As far as that goes there a grouping of three on each side of my driveway entrance. The one pictured is not in the best location as you can see it get more shade than I think it should but it has outdone the others by a long way.

David, your flower is very nice, really like the blending of colors. You might want to check out the National Gardening Association site. I belong to it and to HOUZZ Gardenweb. It is so helpful when you are trying to find out about daylilies. Of course, American Hemerocallis Society Data Base is a good one for info on registered daylilies.

Had another one opened this morning on another plant. I think this one looks better.

I like it !!! very pretty.

It is very pretty. david, you are going to have so much funny learing about them finding out the colors and forms you prefer...acquiring them...and you will probably learn there are some that yo eventually really like that you never thought you would. It such a fun thing to do, and there is so much to learn.. Have fun and grow some beauties.
