There are orange daylilies and then there are orange daylilies. When you look closely at the common roadside orange it actually very beautiful. Just don't want it in the flowerbeds with your other daylilies. The common daylilies spread by shooting off underground and a new plant appears "over there". With the others the plant just keeps getting bigger around. They stay where you put them. 
Common Roadside Orange
Common Orange Double
I call this a Common Orange Double because I have never seen it in any daylily catalogs, and it does appear to be fairly common. Especially among my friends, since I have given them starts of it. It does not multiple like the common roadside daylily, but like all the others.
Mauna Loa
Orange Velvet
Eye-Yi-Yi
Orange Vols
So you see even in orange the daylilies don't look anything alike.
Then I just had to throw in another photo of the Open Hearth daylily,
it sort of goes with these.

I bought 15 new varieties at the festival last Friday.
Won't be seeing those blooms until next year,
but I still have more post of this years blooms.
So if you like daylilies, be watching.

Fifteen new varieties?!?! Wow, you are going to be busy Leedra. Love these oranges. That Mauna Loa is especially beautiful.
I will be watching.I am enjoying all your flowers.
Blessings,Ruth
Good Gravy Leedra!! You have a lot of planting to do. I have double orange one too.
I love the daylilies! The common orange double is my favorite. I'm thinking I need to add more "orange" to the flowers at the cabin. Mostly I have red and purple.
Never seen a double one before. I may have to add them to the neighborhood if I can figure out where to plant them.
All are very beautiful, but my favorite in the Orange Velvet.
I'm cazy about orange flowers- yours are gorgeous.
I'm so glad you had a great time at the Daylily Festival... Fifteen new ones, huh???? Wow---that is so neat!!!!
We have many of the same ones that you shown here... Maybe I can find out some of the names of ours through you.. We definitely have Eye-Yi-Yi... Love that name, don't you?????
Can't wait to see more!!!
Love you,
Betsy
You have a million lilies! :) Beautiful oranges!
Fifteen new varieties! I can hardly wait to see the pictures next year. I don't envy the amount of planting you need to do, however.
Beautiful blooms Leedra. Keep posting & I'll keep looking.
So many shades and tints of orange, yellow and reds and you've captured them all so nicely! Your gardens must be breath taking..I certainly enjoy all your pictures you share!
Beautiful photos, Leedra!
I really like the orange daylilies. They just stand out and are so beautiful. I really like the Mauna Loa and the Orange Vol. These really look good in the yard. I will be looking for more of your daylily pictures.
I wondered about the difference. Along th road they look so lovely. I understand now how they are all up and down the road.
I have daylilies in my yard but do not know the names. I think I'll compare to your pics.
Gosh, your yard must be absolutely gorgeous!
Yup. I goofed and brought the originals into my garden some years ago.
Leedra, I also love orange daylilies. I have several in my yard and will have to post some of my favorites soon. A couple of mine look like yours, but I can't say the quality of my photos are as good. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your daylilies.
Common or not the double Orange is beautiful!
