In my experience and that of others, double daylilies tend to run....that is not stay in a neat clump but travel around.
Perhaps there is a gene that allows them to be double and not travel by now....but I would be leery.

I don't know the name, it was a division from a friend, but I think it's very nice.

Sorry, I don't know anything about Mose's Fire or Night Embers daylilies, but I do know that quite a few daylilies melt out in sun. You might check out whether the color holds on the red ones that you are interested in on the Daylily forum. If they are common varieties someone may know. At any rate they are great enablers over there, so I'm sure someone will convince you to buy something! LOL

I have one purple that is especially bad that way. Here it is a few hours after opening, with edges already curling and the color fading.

I have taken to hiding it under a grass and it holds pretty well! So you might try planting your current red ones in more shade. Then add something new in the sunny spots.

I have two reds (very old diploid varieties) that hold pretty well. One is Anzac and the other is Baja. Picture is of Baja (I think) and I believe that Anzac is a bit darker and more velvety. I bought these locally over 10 years ago and can no longer tell which is which unless I hold the two blooms in my hand. Anyway neither has a melting problem.

One newer red one that I have is Ruby Spider, a TET from 1991. This is a vigorous one with big flowers. Here is it's first bloom of the season (it's 2nd year here) and I don't remember it fading last year and it is on a lot of the AHS popularity polls.

I have a clump of Night Embers that I had dug and brought home from Hornbaker's in Princeton last summer. It's a beauty is doing well , but I have it in morning sun (does not get sun after about noon.I'm not a real big fan of doubles, but this one is pretty. I only have Siloam Double Classic and Francis Joiner for doubles besides the Night Embers so I can really say how other doubles behave.

For older reds nondouble, Red Volunteer, Ruby Throat, Rodeo Cowboy , and Scarlet Apache hold well with color for me and are in afternoon sun. I'm a fan of Griesbach, Klehm, Marsh and Reckamp when it comes to daylilies for Illinois, though the above Rodeo Cowboy is a Tompkins I think ( without checking).

Oh, Leslie is right on with the Daylily Forum, I mostly lurk there but they've pushed me from a few daylilies to over a hundred in just a couple years--their photos they post are beautiful and sometimes they leave links to their albums--will make you drool all day.

Very nice lily's and shots!

What kind of camera's do you guys have?

Mine is not new. It's a Sony DCS-F707. It is bigger and heavier than most of the new ones. It was one of the very early ones that came with 5 Megapixels, Zoom & a Memory Stick. You can now buy more camera in a smaller size for less dollars.

The 707 is a great camera! Back when it came out I was debating between it and the Nikon 5000. I chose the 5000 due to wide angle since I like wide angle. Honestly I wish I went the the 707. I was always impressed with its photos as I am in yours here. Hold on to that camera!

I have Baja and Chicago Apache. Both are red and planted in full sun. Neither melts.
