l2le, I got it last year as a gift plant from the hybridizer himself, Mike Grossmann, aka, mike144mann on the LA. There were no mention of it polying. Going over to his site to double check. It didn't bloomed in my garden last year. The four scapes averages 20 buds each.

Clump Shots
No mention of it on his website northernlightsdaylily.com. I did write to him in this regards. Mike

Nice two Cindy !!
Thanks Mike!!!
Very nice blooms everyone.
Here are my latest. My babies are to young to put out good clumps, but I have
Zella Virginia (4) One you can't see as I couldn't get it all in the picture!
Papillon - Triplets
Joan Senior - Twins
YAAAAY!!! I have a "clump" of Zella Virginia 6 blooms all at once! Of course it is only 2 years old, so 6 is quite a feat . . . . .at least for me.
Cee Cee has 4 and Papillon has 2, Ellen Christine has 2 and Walters Tango has 2
Also Mike, I can't find the one I saw that looks like that NOID I thought I recognized. If I do, I'll be sure to post it.
Lovely clumps everyone!
l2le that ZV is none stop for you. Nices blooms. Thanks for the effort.
Forestlake Ragamuffin - clumping in the rain.
Victorian Lace - triplet
Mini Pearl
Carolina June Bug
Elma Tipton - triplets
Camaroons - triplets
Big Snowbird
Frans Hals - "oldie but goodie". Reminds me of a song.
Endless Heart - pods galore
Sears Tower
Beautiful Mike. I cant believe the seed pods on EH WOW.
After we had some rain, Cherry Cheeks really put out some blooms! My only clump remaining!
Closer shot of Cherry Cheeks......
Irisluvr, Cherry Cheeks is a cute one.
irisluvr - I really like that Cherry Cheeks. What a pretty color!
Mike, Elma Tipton and Big Snowbird are gorgeous! I also like that Sears Tower. The Foreslake Ragamuffin and Mini Pearl are really nice too. I can't wait for my Victorian Lace to bloom. That is beautiful.
I wonder if my clump I discovered earlier is the same as your Frans Halls. Sure looks like it.
l2le do you have a pic of said clump ?
Joan Senior
Sarah Hawes
Love Joan Senior! Had it at one time but lost it.....may need to try again!
Indy Miner's Gold is a great late performer.
I don't normally like too many yellows but Indy Miner's Gold is gorgeous! And the fact that it is a late one makes it even better! Will have to add it to my list and watch for it!
Mike, I am posting my "unknown" clump that looks kinda like yours. Also, your Joan Senior looks totally different than mine do. I bought mine at a local Wholesale place called Plant World. I like yours better!
Unknown clump
Papillon quad
Joan Sr - twin
Zella Virginia - clump
Walters Tango - Trip again
Very nice!!!
There could be several reasons why your Joan Senior looks different.
#1 It could be tissue cultured (cloned). A lot of tissue cultured daylilies do not look or perform like the original. Always buy your daylilies from reputable daylily growers. The big box stores (I don't know if I can mention their names) always carry tissued cultured daylilies and they do not perform like the originals.
#2 Soil and weather conditions can change the appearance of a daylily.
Your unknown is similar to Franz Hals, but I don't think this is it. FH is more bright orange and yellow, at least for me.
l2le, that's definitely not "Frans Hals". It appears to be a nice one anyway.
Mike...it was a good try anyway. I have no idea what that clump is. I must have bought it though! LOL
Your Joan Senior is recurved and mine is not. When I bought it, it has a tag on it from the nursery who potted it I guess. So, it sounds to me like Hemlady and Caitlin could be correct. At the time, I didn't know anything about daylilys AT ALL!
Anyway, no more NEW daylily clumps today. Twins of MY JR, a triple of Pardon Me and another quad of Zella Virginia all bloomed today, but they are the same ol' ones.
Joan Senior put out diffrent style of blooms. It's not consistent. Some are normal facing. Doesn't always curve at the edge. The fact that it is blooming now is also a good sign.
True Mike, although I don't have Joan Senior myself, I know flowers can look different in different parts of the country.
I was wondering if that was the difference on my Joan Senior too. My weather here is very hot, I'm at 5,500 ft altitude, wind, you name it and also have lousy soil. Not near as acidic as what Mike must have in IL.
I have 3 more Walters Tango, 4 of Pardon Me, 6 of Zella Virginia and twins of Ellen Christine today.
Apricot Sparkles
Big Snowbird
Rosy Returns - in the rain this am.
Rosy is not blooming as much for me this year. I think it is because we have been so dry.
Cindy, I have made a concerted effort to water my known rebloomers that are in the front row. If they don't bloom it wont be my fault ! LOL!!
Very true. Our city water is just awful. It doesn't seem to improve their bloom at all. We need rain.
One of my future projects involve rain barrels.
I've been thinking of doing that too.
Got so far behind in labeling photos it is not even funny, then it was too hot to take pictures.
Here are a few from last month.
Pinhill Claret Symphony
