Here's the first one; meet The Three Stigmas of Eve:

Eve has an advanced case of what I often find in my garden - split stigmas. Usually I see just one of the three tubes that make up the stigma split off from the other two. I normally pollinate any/all of the tubes, assuming that they each lead to a repository for one of the three lobes that turn into a unified pod. But, I've never really kept track of whether the pollination takes, whether any pod might result that matures with at least one or two healthy and fruitful lobes, or whether any buds just abort.

Anyone here ever met a friend of Eve's, and kept track closely enough to find out what was going on?

With all the daylilies we have here I see this often and it is just a sporadic thing on which cultivar will have them. It doesn't happen on the same ones each year so like Fred said it's just having a bad hair day I used to pollinate these but have found they don't set pods so I stopped. You may actually get one to set but I just don't bother with it.
