Has anyone ever seen a daylily like this?

It appeared on a 'Black-Eyed Susan' scape among the normal blossoms.

I pollenated it with some of its own pollen in hopes that it is fertile and will produce seed. I've also got some of the pollen in the fridge and have emailed a local hybridizer to see if she wants to work with it. Don't know at this point if the pollen is viable.
