that is called a mutation and you might be able to make some money off them if they can be mass produced for sale. they are realy pretty.

Your daylillies are beautiful and so unique.

Have you thought of contacting a local botanical organization/garden. Or even the horticulture dept. of a local university.

They might be very interesed in your flowers. You might in fact have a new mutation.

I have some double orange day lilies but before I see them bloom, the deer eat them. Yours is beautiful.

I do have these in the my garden. Got them from a grower 11 years ago. Asked for a variety of lillies and these showed up. They were a surprise to him also.

Have not seen a day lily like that...but have seen daffodils doing a similar thing. Up teh hill from us is a field they call daffodil meadow and it has quite a wide variety of daffodils - many that look rather mutated. Very pretty. Thanks for sharing
