Legacy Bulbs (pic)

I agree -- Justin's picture is of Hemerocallis fulva 'Kwanso'.  The single 
form of this found  around abandoned (and not abandoned) homesteads is 
usually Hemericallis fulva 'Europa'.  The flowers are orange with the brown 
or purplish eye bands.

There are also legacy yellow daylilies, but I'm not sure of the species or 
hybrid name.  There may be more than one -- all often referred to simply as 
"Lemon Lilies."
