Today I happened to see this daylily. It's supposed to be a proliferation of So Lovely, and is planted in our So Lovely border. However, to me, the flower is not So Lovely, and I don't understand how this could happen when we knew that this was a prolif of So Lovely. Please look at the pictures and give me ideas about this.
The flower had not quite opened so I helped it along and I was struck by how much it reminded me of Twirling Parasol. I usually have to tease open TP because it has trouble opening in the morning, probably because it is planted in a shady area. Even the bud on the unknown was shaped like a TP bud.
Bud of Twirling Parasol--see how it is pinched on the end, and I will gently work it open. I did this to the unknown flower.
So Lovely--the real flower and there is a definite difference between the two flowers.
So help me out, is this some sort of mutation, or what?
