Daylily blooms can have many forms such as this double. From the AHS daylily dictionary:
"A double flower has more than one petal whorl (hose-in-hose), or a stamen whorl that contains petaloid (petal-like) stamens (peony type double)."
H.'Condilla', Grooms, 1977
There are about 35 daylilies in my collection that are classified as doubles.
H. 'Cardigan Bay', Trimmer, 1996
Some have so many of the extra petals or petaloid tissue that the stamens are not easily seen.
H. 'Lemonberry Truffle', Kirchhoff-D, 2000
There may times when a daylily that is classified as a double does not produce the extra petaloid tissue and it will bloom as a single. This cultivar lists in its registration data that it doubles 94% of the time.
