I'm just getting into hybridizing and I noticed something strange. I'd say 99.9% of my daylilies have what I consider "normal" pollen-bright orange & fluffy. However, I have one cultivar that has lemon yellow pollen. It also doesn't produce as much pollen as the others. Does anyone else have a plant like this? Do you know if the pollen is fertile? I just tried using some today but it's really hot so maybe the pod won't set due to the weather. Here's a picture of normal pollen & pollen from Carousel Princess:

The background is a white sheet of paper but it looks blue. The pollen color difference is correct though. Just wondering if anyone else has come across this too.
