− | + | Imagine a host of tiny, spatulate yellow flowers dancing on tall, nicely branched scapes. This is a delicate, airy-looking variety that looks more species-like than most species. If there are other daylilies out there like A Small Multitude, they must be forgotten because I haven't seen them. | |

+ | A Small Multitude is the parent of [[From Darkness Comes Light]] and [[Helicopter]], two of my most important introductions. It is an extremely versatile breeder of tall, reblooming and unusual form seedlings, sometimes with dark scapes and more importantly with melon flowers. It throws graceful branching, budcount, and vigor. | ||

+ | I've used A Small Multitude quite a bit in my breeding and even though it is yellow I have looked forwards to the delicate beauty of its bloom every year. There's nothing in my garden like it. | ||
