I'd say that's a superpoly.
Polys Polys.. I need Polys
Could you guys that have several that poly often make a list? I am interested in adding them to my garden but I need some help on the ones that are consistent.
Thanks,
Teresa

Bluegrassmom, you can find lists of the polymersous flowers at my new polymerous daylily database web site at http://daylily.net/polytepals
Oh, thanks for the link :)
Bobby I did not see BRADLEY HARDY on your list.
It polys over 60% here
Here is a image

One of my Strawberry Candy plants has been poly-ing like crazy -- so far 3 days in a row. (Haven't yet checked today.) Sunday there was a "5 and 5"! I'm at work but will post pics tonight. Never noticed this in prior seasons but just recently started looking for it. Stay tuned...
Even my old Child's : KEY LIME polys occasionally,
Here is a new seedling this year, and I'm going to keep it another year - 3 blooms so far - lst-single, 2nd and 3rd poly. It is (Shepherds Light x White Temptation) X Land of Cotton, It looked like a big ice cream cone at 4 PM on a 90 degree day. Yum.
Child's: Chum is doing its thing
This Strawberry Candy has 5 petals and 5 sepals!
Here's another from the same plant on the same day (different scape) with 4 petals and 3 sepals.
This photo was taken the following day showing 4 petals and 4 sepals. I've noticed polytepals on this plant for the past 4 days -- 2 blossoms each day. Apparently this is a fluke as Strawberry Candy is not on the AHS' list of polytepalous daylilies!
WOW!! I have never seen Strawberry Candy poly.
Susan, that Bold Encounter is a real winner.
Se_eds, that is a cool seedling. If it's a dip you might want to try crossing it with Schnickel Fritz, which is a white double that polys.
I love this thread. Not really getting too many poly's here this year, here's a yellow Riverbend seedling that polyed the other day.
Crash,
Watch that one. It's really neat.
Les
She better watch it close..I have a shovel and I know where she lives
LOL! Jazz, I know where you live and I have 2 shovels! lol
promises promises :)
All Fired Up yesterday had a poly that also tried to double.
Leslie I put Schnickel Fritz on it this morning. LOL I think here on Daylight Eastern time is is Dublin time- here is Firestorm. An oldie that always polys at least once.
And of course SCATTERBRAIN is doing its thing. I think Scatterbrain and Peach Magnolia are two of my favorites.
That will be interesting Se_eds.
BARACUDA BAY'S first flower open was poly today
I'm in love.
I am wondering if many of the poly blossoms are due to unusual weather or other conditions - I had several poly and whatever you call 5 + 5 that have never done it before - our weather has been weird the past year....just a thought
B. Bay is a favorite of mine! I don't think I have noticed mine doing that. I will be watching closer!
jrwbirds, I was thinking the same thing. Could be the weird weather patterns.
Clear Mountain Morning /2008 / did this on 7th scape
Stamile said it had never did it for him . weather fluke perhaps
Badseed,
Thank you for the clear explanation of what a poly is, as I'm not up on all the daylily terms & had been wondering. I think I have a couple, then, based on what I've seen in this thread.
Is this a poly?
Is this a poly? Is it a double? Is there a difference in the two?
Annette/ maw
It is not a poly. It looks like it is trying to double. A double is when extra petals are growing up from the middle.
You can think of a daylily have rows or layers of petals (using just one term for simplicity) Normal daylilies have two rows of three each. Polys will have two rows of four or five each. (sometimes more but that's rare) When they have extra rows then they are doubles
Here is a Polston seedling with some extras.
This picture was taken about 9pm and Streaker had some extras too.
Fruit Surprise with doing a poly.
Poly today on Mildred Mitchell
I noticed this poly today, Finger Lakes
OOOO, I love it when daylilies poly!!!
My second Baracuda Bay bloom went poly 'up! First blooming season in my garden...I'm happy its made its home here!
