    'Join the Party' (Hanson, C 2009) seems to have either fallen out of favour or just never quite caught on, and in either case, that's unfortunate as I believe this daylily is undervalued.

    With 6-inch blooms on 33-inch scapes, it begins late in the season (here in the north) but blooms reliably and with no special fuss or care each year. The petals have a light ruflle, it boasts a distinctive white midrib, and has a sculpted / pleated texture etched out of the throat onto the petals. And this is a true red (not an orange-red or a pink-red) which flags your attention from across the garden.

    Yet, when I do a 'google' search for it, the only listing I find for it is here, in the NGA database. I think a lot of folks missed the boat on this one.
