I used to grow FTP many years ago, here in our CA clay soil. The color, as others have stated, was not pink... more of a pale peach, or a melon. (I lost the plant for some combinations of reasons, and never re-purchased it.)

I don't have any surviving photos, but years ago I took one image (I wish I could find it now) where the plant had two poly blooms on it in one day. That image showed me the promise in the poly form - how beautiful poly daylilies could be. (Of course, at that time I was already interested in polys. Whistling ) FTP didn't throw polys at a high %, but it did throw them.
Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
