At the RADS Daylily Show, I was fortunate to win Best Double...this is my only picture as I managed to delete my show photos...boohoo...This one is at home (yes, that's a dog bone behind the plate....)....
The plate was my award for making it to the head table where my flower competed for Best in Show (it didn't win that). I was pretty excited! That's my first rosette...hopefully, there will be more in the future...they're not easy to get...although I know folks who must have stacks of them...ha.
If you're wondering what won for me, it was a double hybridized by Tim Herrington called Cherry Smash Cupcake....
The above picture was taken in my garden on June 23rd. You can see it was a blooming machine! For the show, I picked a scape that still had lots of buds yet to open and was as near to perfect as I could find. I got lucky!
Congrats on the rosette! There are many more in your future...Im sure!

Way to go on your win. Love the plate. Cherry Smash Cupcake really has nice bud count. It's a keeper.
