I acquired several daylilies and I am having trouble identifying. Any help would be much appreciated. I am very new to the daylily world. Can anyone tell me the name of this these daylilies? Thanks

With almost 95, 000 registered daylilies, unless it has an extremely unique look, it's almost impossible to get an accurate ID with any certainty. Some people can venture guesses, suggesting look-alikes or something similar to what they have but blooms can and do look different depending on weather, growing conditions, etc. so it will still be a guess. They could even be unregistered ones.

Welcome! @Tennessee7! Those look like some nice daylilies. I have to agree with Sue on these. It would be difficult to make a definite ID.

Don't get discouraged though. Many of us have NOIDs (No Identification) in our garden. I have a couple that I love more than some named daylilies.

We all would love to know the names of our NOIDs, (No ID, or name), certainly the bloom can be the most important thing in identifying a daylily, but there are other things that would also have to be known about it. Things like ploidy(is it a diploid or a tetraploid, what time of year does it have initial bloom (along with your location). Other helpful clues would be bud count and branching (these can fluctuate greatly but can be another clue). Often the best information when identifying a daylily is available from the source you purchased it and having some background information can also often be a big help. All of you plants might actually not be registered daylilies, but seedlings (daylilies that were never registered).Even something like a photo of the buds can often be a great clue, sometimes even the base color of the scape can help ID a daylily (some have what is called pink or purple stockings: just a pink or purple tint to the base of the scape).
I have narrowed my NOIDs way down, I still have one in particular I would dearly love to know the registered name of. It is what I call my Dark Burgundy NOID. It has been one of the top performers in my garden again this year.
So good luck finding names for all your NOIDs, finding a name can often be as rewarding as getting a new plant. I have had it in my garden now for many years and am still hoping one day a garden visitor will see it and recognize it.
