Your goals are admirable for one so new to gardening with daylilies and there is no need really to take this topic to another thread. Cat's original question was about oddities and what peaked my interest in the thread was Maurice's explanation concerning such oddities and your response which agreed in many ways with his studies and their results. I found it interesting that your experiences in a short time could in some ways match his. Which has nothing to do with oddities, really, but my question pertaining to your goals came because I thought you might be working with specific color placement or variations. I wondered if such a thing could occur with color or if it is all purely accidental. Somewhere around here you posted an image of a daylily with what looked to be polka dots, for lack of a better term, and that was odd to me. I wondered if you might try for that again.
So in a very roundabout way, I thought you had taken a serious interest in specific color variations or 'oddities' thereof and maybe wanted to duplicate or otherwise explore with them.
