I think as of the last listing I got from the AHS(American Hemerocallis Society) at present it is 57,826. There are several hundred added each year.

There's is a wonderful problem in the daylily world, and that is, the work of all the hybridizers have lead us to a place where the beautiful is very commonplace now. There are daylily seedlings that would have been introduced a few years ago, now that daylily is discarded.

For some Beautiful introductions see these

Jack Carpenter and the Salters, enough to make even the hardest daylily afficianado drool

I might add that I don't buy at the introductory price, just make a list and pick them up in a few years. I took a garden design class once and a simple sentence was worth the price of admission alone. She said," If it's a good flower this year, it will be a good flower 10 years from now." And I was liberated from wanting the " latest, greatest, best, from that moment on.

Don Stevens is a very pretty daylily. Why I keep passing on it is beyond me

(Hmm, lack of room, maybe?
