Daylily (Hemerocallis 'Put My Picture on the Cover')

While the cultivar name “Put My Picture on the Cover” suggests a modern, perhaps American, origin, the *species* of Daylily that this cultivar is derived from are native to **East Asia**.

Here’s a breakdown:

* **Hemerocallis (Daylily genus):** This genus originates from regions spanning from Europe through Asia, but the core of diversity lies in **East Asia**, specifically **China, Korea, and Japan.**

* **Hemerocallis ‘Put My Picture on the Cover’ (cultivar):** This is a *cultivated variety* bred for specific desirable traits (flower color, size, form, etc.). Therefore, the exact location of its creation depends on the breeder. However, its genetic makeup is rooted in the Asian species.

**In short, while the cultivar itself might be a modern creation from a Western breeder (like in the US or Europe), its ultimate ancestry is traced back to East Asian daylily species.**

Therefore, the answer is **East Asia**.
