What I have ...

What's in the database ...

Truth be told, I like my flower more than the "real thing", but it's really disappointing to not know what it really is. Add to that losing faith in the seller, from whom I have bought several plants, and who is the closes to my home.

I would take the flower to him and ask for my money back, or the real plant. If he is honest and wants your business, he will take care of the problem. Perhaps he bought it from another seller, and got stung.

It is a bright pretty one.

Sometimes a pig in a poke can be a nicer plant than the original wanted one. I would contact the seller and ask for them to send you the real plant you ordered and for an id on the one blooming in your garden. Most sellers are very amenable to correcting the error and will do their best to rectify the situation . I don't believe a seller would intentionally send the wrong plant but mistakes can happen and do . As dick_in_ohio said it is possible that the grower was sold an incorrect plant .

I was recently on a website ( I look at lots of websites even if I am not buying ) and found three plants in their listing being sold under incorrect id's . I wrote and sent images of the correct plants them but got no response nor did I see any efforts at correcting the situation . So that is one way plant id's get screwed up .

I bought the plants (2 of them) in 2016 and added two more last year. I looked it up in the database JUST to see if it was registered then forgot about it; did not look at the photo or any other details. It was pure happenstance that I looked again a couple days ago and found a surprise. I really like the plant and have no intention of getting rid of it. The farm changed hands over the winter and I visited the new owners this spring and bought two more cultivars. I plan to call them and see if we can figure out what I really have. They may be just as surprised as I am.

BTW, the two-year-old plants have a gazillion buds, and the two newer ones will bloom also. Unfortunately, a couple other plants I bought last year from a different supplier will not bloom this year, a very unusual experience for me. But that's a story for another day.

With all the rain, almost everything I planted this spring has bloomed, even little side plants I separated from the clump.

Mystery solved, sort of. The offerings of the daylily farm from which I bought "All Jacked Up" are mostly unregistered cultivars. I knew that, which is why when I buy from them I always look the plant up on the AHS database. I just spoke with the current owner who told me that what she knows as "All Jacked Up" is, in fact, unregistered, which makes it a NOID.

Well, its better to know than not to know and your noid is a lovely daylily.

If the plant performs well and you really like it , you could register it under another name if you wanted to as long as they give their permission.. However they need to not sell another piece of it under that name because it isn't the true registered plant.
