This flower has 4 petals
Common name: Daylily 'Look Once Again'
Family: Liliaceae
Genus: Hemerocallis
Why is it called that?
it's got four petals on the top!!! cool
Ahhh, I understand. Ok, that is cool. :)
The term for this is a "polytepal" daylily flower.
you mean there is more than one? it's the prettiest I've ever seen
This plant does not normally have 4 petals on it, just this one flower. The pic doesn't show the 4 distinct petals very well. It looks like the rest of the buds will be normal with only three.
Hehehe, dave, it is called "look once again" because thats what the hybridizer named it.
tiG, I'll gladly send you a fan in the fall but it will most likely be normal three petaled plant :)
