This is why we look every morning!
My wife and I have about 400 different daylilies, and we enjoy “making our morning rounds”. As I’m sure you all know - It is different every day. Well the other day was not just different, but truly remarkable for one plant in particular – Broaden Your Horizons. This is only it’s third year for us so there are only 10 fans and the show was 9 flowers – Very nice. However, what was so special was that there were 4 variations of the flower. First – what it is supposed to be,
second – the pinky self portion was a near white,
third – a poly version,
and last but most special – an “Explosion in the Paint Factory” symptom but really cool in that the flower was precisely half pink, and half “white”.
Here's a picture of the entire "clump". It is a little hard to make out the flowers above but they are all there - from the bottom up - the first three up the middle are normal, white & poly. The split is on the left.
Ya gotta luv it!!
Just came back from the gardens (it was raining this morning) and looked at BYH again. The flowers are a mess after the rain, but there is another "split" This time it is the mirror image of the last one! I can't wait to see what happens in a couple of days to see what happens when the other buds open.
Ya gotta luv it!!
