One of my seedling blooms today had lots of stamens, but no pistil. I was attempting to cross this bloom with some other daylily's frozen pollen to no avail because of the lack of this reproductive part.

In the past, I've seen no pollen on the anthers, but this is the first time I haven't seen a pistil in a daylily bloom. The bloom looked perfectly normal to me except the lack of a pistil. I am wondering how common this is and what causes this to happen?
