    Not everyone seems much interested in daylilies with a tendency to produce polymerous blooms (extra petals / sepals) but 'Daddy's Heart' has been consistent in my gardens for doing so. It polys every year... which sort of rules out 'weather' as a sole factor... though it's still possible weather may contribute to the likelihood.

    In July 2020, 'Daddy's Heart' produced poly blooms for 3 consecutive days ... the 27th, 28th and 29th of July, 2020. And on the 28th, it produced (2) different polys on the same plant side by side, one a 4-way poly and the other a 5-way poly.

    One has to suspect that polymerous bloom must have a genetic component for 'Daddy's Heart' somewhere in its background.
