The excitement of such beauty as Glorious Autumn is why people grow and hybridize daylilies. A tiny gold edge above lavish orange red (on the outside half) crowns the flower. The orange-red shades into orange and blends from gold into yellow above the flower's heart. The form is consistent, glorious and sublime. The color and substance hold quite well and if anything is enhanced by the sun. The sparkling texture is smooth and shell-like - should ever a shell be so colorful! In Central Florida, the twice-recurrent scapes have two-three way branching, above luxuriant foliage.
