Chances are, most exhibitors would never show this plant, first because almost all shows are held during early to mid season and this one blooms late.Secondly, with scapes that tall, exhibitors are allowed to cut a part of the scape off and place it beside the exhibit.
I've judged many daylily shows for many years, ( in Jim Murphy's home region ) and have never seen seen it exhibited. But I have seen a lot of Margo and Jim's lates in bloom. It's kinda cool to leave your own garden sometime in August where you might have 3-4 still blooming and arrive at Woodhenge to see several hundred in bloom. Years ago, I had Jim pose beside a scape of Crooked when it was still in their seedling bed. It was before digital, so I can't find it.
