""He also described the differences between the two cultivars:
"A comparison of the flowers of the two clones, Flora Pleno and Kwanso. The flowers of the Flora Pleno Daylily ... in comparison with those of Kwanso ... have a greater number of well-formed petals, the number of stamens and aborted stamens per flower is less, and the pistil is more frequently fully aborted or not in evidence. The central column of the flower is shorter and the flower is more compact.""
I don't think here the term "compact" refers to size, but to the "tightness" so to speak of the bloom? I am thinking that Flore Pleno is actually a larger bloom?
I do have more petals on average on what I am calling Flore Pleno, also "looser", less well formed petals on what I am referring to as Kwanso. I'll have to check on the stamens and aborted stamens( I have no idea what an aborted stamen looks like), never noticed any of that.
Now I also need to check on that "central column of the flower is shorter" never noticed that either.
