Hmmm…. after reading Cee’s comment i am inclined to agree! Hemerocallis are a member of the lily family, Amaryllis are a different family altogether and are called lillies – but they ain’t!
Exactly! – it might even become an entirely new species that needs it’s own taxonomy?
I have poppies i cannot easily fit with the known examples i can find on Google? Maybe the professionals can, but i can’t. 🙂

Yes, I was thinking about calling them red lilies, but that would be presumptuous of me🙄.

Many botanists appear to have been presumptuous it would seem!!! 😉
There are VERY fine lines distinguishing plant types… and they frequently can change!? 🙂

So if a plant mutated due to certain environmental factors, I’m guessing that would make it more difficult to identify.
