The Flickr photos below demonstrate what I believe to be true to type Hemerocallis fulva. Orange with a dark maroon chevron. There are other daylilies listed as Hemerocallis fulva but I believe this are the true color and pattern.
Vigorous spreading habit is another distinctive trait of Hemerocallis fulva, Here Hemerocallis fulva is acting as a ground cover under the tree canopy. These plants may spread and fill in densely without ever blooming
