  It is a hemerocallis, but there are at least 90,000 named varieties, with a few thousand available in the UK, so an exact identification will be difficult.

  Thanks, been tending the garden for 3 years and the bank has been lush with follage but never flowered, just thrown up a few stems this year and can't find a lemon yellow variety anyway.

  Looks a bit like Marie Babin but of course could be so many others!

  Is it in a shady position? They don't like a lot of shade, they need several hours of sunlight per day to perform well.

  The garden was entirely covered in Ivy when I started on it and after clearing found a collection of plants from hosta and ferns and astillbes. These were dotted about so I banked them in a grouped bed in the sunniest spot, so it may be the moving that held them back, that was years ago.

  There are so many to compare...it is really hard.
  Cameras can change colour just a fraction.
  Flower size/colour/shape of petals all go into the equation.
  Mystery one does not appear to have ruffles on the edge of the petals.
  
  

  Quote..."Destined to See is an attractive Daylily that produces large flowers up to 15cm in diameter. The creamy-white blooms have purple eye and ruffled purple edges, with a yellow centre."
