Here is my favorite ‘old’ daylily. Since I grow primarily dormants it is, oddly enough, an evergreen, but if I keep it protected it grows great.

Mister Lucky (Sellers, 1975) Award Winner
Mid-season bloomer 28" tall (34" in my yard) 4" bloom, Evergreen, Tetraploid - Red with dark red eyezone

He's as old as the hills, but still holds a prized, protected spot next to my back door. Every bloom is perfect, the clump is well-behaved, has a nice foliage and the color is exquisite.

Hi - my best friend and sis-in-law is Patty Shepard.
Patty told me about your blog - fantastic! Loving all the pictures of the daylilies - scrolling through these brilliant photos reminded me of the time I worked at a local greenhouse years ago. We planted 2 acres of daylilies on the owners property for eventual retail sales. I have forgotten most of the names but I remember Stella D'Oro as being a real show stopper. On the small size, with such a bright color, made it a best seller for us.
Also was delighted in seeing the whimsical items in your garden - fun! Thank you and a hi to Patty.
