Ill get you one,..... but you regular flowers buds have three segments, very easy to see. A poly bloom will have 4 segments.
I almost wish I didnt know that, Im the fool out there counting segments the minute I see a bed. When that poly bloom starts to give in, you can kinda close it back together and see the four segments, as compared to the three.

Thank you for sharing that info, thats good to know. I will look when I get home.

Thanks for the 101, I'm new to these Daylily terms...I picked up as I looked thru the thread, but this confirms my assumption of the name.

My most startling. That day it looked like a dahlia.

PS I wrote back then it was a fusion of four blooms.

I took this with too much sunlight, but glad I did because a storm blew most of my daylilies apart this afternoon with huge gusts of wind
I have had more poly blooms this year than any other (maybe because I have more daylilies now than any other year )

Heavenly United We Stand

That's a great poly, Regina, and a great too!

Awesome seedling, Mayo!!

Looking good there, Mayo! You are going to really love hybridizing!

I only have a few.
Eight Miles High poly'd a lot last year, it was a long hot summer.



Charming Heart Poly'd quite a bit also last year.

Seedfork said:Anyone have photos of poly buds, I am having a hard time finding them?

@seedfork
Here are some pics of poly buds and seed pods:




I also found these unusual shaped pods on Peggy Jeffcoat, which is a double. Some pods look as if they have only two chambers; all the blooms were normal doubles
The top pod and right one have the irregular shape; the left one and younger pods further down appear normal.

Here is a shot of All American Chief throwing a poly bloom. I love them!!

I wanted to add this seedling poly bloom I had yesterday. It is already posted on the seedling thread. I sure wish it was a regular poly bloomer all the time.

GALAXY EXPLOSION X REBEKAH'S GOTHIC SPIDER

That is a great looking poly, Cindy! Love the colors, too!

Thanks Teresa. It is one that I have been watching for about 4 years now. I wish it would poly like that all of the time. I want to register it in memory of my orange cat. It has a 20 bud count which is pretty good.

That is a great coloured bloom to name in memory of an orange cat
