Notes: There’s certainly nothing “cheesy” about this daylily, though the light yellow flower color may remind you of Monterrey Jack cheese. A well-defined, raspberry red eye and lighter midribs really stand out on the glimmering diamond dusted flowers. Their broad, rounded petals open wide and flat to 5½" across, making them appear even larger. Each exquisitely ruffled flower is of perfect form and they are displayed nicely on the candelabra-branched scapes.
