| History | 'Happy Returns' is a descendant of popular selection 'Stella de Oro'. |
| Lore | Daylilies were nearly impossible to hybridize until 1921 when Dr. A.B. Stout perfected a method that proved so successful that by 1994 there were 36,486 cultivars under official registration. Daylily flowers are edible and plants have long been cultivation in Chinese kitchen gardens. |
