Daylily - very strange centre- then there were 2

No it's a double flowered variety Thorney which one I wouldn't like to guess ;-) , there are lots of different forms of daylily doubles, spiders, unusual forms, spatulate shaped, ones with teeth and fancy edges and now even ruffles down the middle of the petals ( see Wylieintheazores latest blog)

There are somewhere around 70,000 named daylilies now. If you go to the website of the American Hemerocallis Society, (www.daylilies.org) there is a dictionary of terms with photos of the different forms and types. The one on the left looks like a peony type double.

Thanks, it looks a bit like a carnation and I thought maybe it was caused by bugs or a virus etc. You learn something new every day.
