It's a beautiful lily I guess only the daylilies are Hemerocallis But the same family.That's likely because it's a different type.I like to learn these things Is the Easter Lilies latin name that too.I used to work at a nursery because I was intereseted in them I brought perennials in from the greenhouses and had to know their latin& english names I got them for wholesale orders &retail It was anice job til I had to work from7to11 at night It seemed Like Iwas the only one who caught on & wanted to learn So I guess I was stuckdoing it.So that's why I like this form.Thanks for listening to me.
