I have hundreds of the doubles. I've had them for over 25 years. They're definitely not new.

I have them, too. A friend was throwing them away. I went over and we dug through her trash. They do like to spread. I find them in the grass six or more inches from the outside of the concrete edging that contains that garden. We have lots of singles around, but I haven't seen many other doubles.

Darn...some are saying it's not new. It is to me, I love strange plants.

Get and read a book by Jill Churchill, called Mulch Ado About Nothing. In this book will be a good overview of what it takes to bring forth a new plant, and some of them will bring in a bundle of cash.

Or else it will make your garden the wonder of the neighborhood.

When and if you ever start selling seeds from this, or any part of the plant, let me know. I adore strange plants.

A similar thing happened to me with my violets. They were single the first time the plant bloomed and then just kept multiplying in petals every time thereafter. I just wondered if it was the plant's maturity that occurred for this to happen.

Sure looks like a variety I have, paid for, called Elaine Strutt. Enjoy it. Most new varieties are mutations. Polyploidy. MK

There are many varieties of Day lilies. You might like to keep this one going and check out how to propagate more and then sell them to a daylily company.
