Frans Hals was the old Dutch painter whose most famous masterpiece was "The Laughing Cavalier." Can this be why Frans Hals was honored by the hybridizer with this daylily? I think so. This super-bright bicolor seems to laugh in the garden. Big clearly bicolored flowers flaunt rich reddish orange petals alternated with pure golden ones. This is a true classic dayllily that belongs in every garden.
