 EDGED:
Distinctly
different color occurring along the outer edge of the segments of a
daylily.
EDGES: Edges
refer to the outer periphery of the petals and
occasionally the sepals.
MIDRIB: The principal lengthwise vein of a leaf or of a perianth
segment (petals and sepals). On the perianth segments the midribs may
be
the same color as the segment or of a contrasting color.
PETAL: Top three petaloids of a daylily flower that is not a
double.
PERIANTH SEGMENTS: A typical (not double) daylily flower has six
perianth segments arranged in two rows. The three inner ones are the
petals,
and the three outer ones are the sepals. The term "tepal" may be used
to
refer to any of the six, because they are relatively undifferentiated
from
each other as compared to many other plants, such as roses.
POLYTEPAL: A flower having four or more petals and four or more
sepals in the same plane or whorl. In order to be registered as a
polytepal a plant must bloom at least 50% or more of its blooms as a
polytepal.
RUFFLED: Term used to describe the tissue on a segment's edges,
resulting in a wavy appearance. Ruffling may be very loose and deep or
tightly compressed.
SEPAL: Bottom three segments of a daylily flower that is not a
double.
STAMEN: Each typical flower has six stamens attached at the base
of the petals. Each stamen has a stalk called the filament that ends
with
a two-lobed anther filled with dust-like yellow pollen.
TEPAL: Refers to any of a daylily flower's petals and sepals,
its perianth segments.
THROAT : The centermost inner section of a daylily bloom where
the pistil and stamens join to the back of the bloom, usually at least
one different color, which sometimes greatly enhances the overall
effect of a flower's bloom.
TIPPED: A distinctly different color occurring on the tips of
the petals.
 PISTIL:
The central
female reproductive organ around which the other flower parts are
arranged. At
the base is the ovary, where the seeds develop. A long style extends
from
this. The tip is swollen and flared to form the stigma. The stigma
receives
the pollen.
STIGMA: Apex of
long
style that extends from ovary, where seeds develop, and that swells and
flares at
its tip to receive pollen.
STYLE: The part of the pistil that extends from base of ovary,
where seeds develop and is tipped by a stigma that receives pollen.
BRACT: A modified leaf found on a scape at an axil. The presence of
a
bract on the scape of a young plant may indicate that the plant has the
potential
for producing additional branching on new scapes in succeeding years.
BUD: A young and
undeveloped flower.
BUD COUNT: Since each daylily flower is only open one day, the
number of buds each scape carries is indicative of how many flowers the
plant will bear on a single scape. The bud count can be determined by
counting the number of buds, seed pods and bloom scars and adding these
together.
PROLIFERATION: A
leafy
shoot from a node or bract found on scapes. Proliferations may be
rooted
to form a plant identical to the mother plant. Small roots often form
and
occasionally a flower is produced while the proliferation is still on
the
scape. In the image below the upper proliferation has formed at the
bract.
SCAPE: The daylily flower scape has no leaves except some
modified leaves called bracts. The scape is the entire flower stalk
above the crown.
