By Nesmith – 1940
This historic daylily is a mid-season blooming semi-evergreen, diploid. It is 40 inches tall with a 5 inch bloom. The flower has a spider with a ratio of 5:30:1. The color is difficult to describe (and to catch on film). I would call it coral or melon, but it has some more red/pink tones as well. It is a very open spider, the petals will recurve but they don’t twist at all and the green throat can be star shaped when the flower opens completely. The stamens are hot pink.
