I feel that examining a scape looking for minutiae is a bit tiresome, so I prefer to go "old school".
The way I would describe both of those scapes would be similar; "Top cluster with three lateral branches and xx buds."
I think this gives a much better mental image of how the scape looks in the garden.
Some hybridizers like to classify the top cluster as being a Y or W, and that's fine too, but every daylily has a top cluster, and I don't really like the idea of breaking that down into 4 branches for the purpose of more appealing catalog copy. If it happens to be a magnificent top cluster, that will be borne out in bud count.
