I have not bloomed nor attempted any such crosses as you mention so certainly
must defer to your speculation/judgement or that of others.
While I do not know that this is germane to the issue, distorted blooms, poly
tepaled, poly sepaled, extra sepals, and/or extra tepals in daylilies blooms
are fairly common in crosses (both dips and tets). I have historically
attributed the phenomenon to external environmental forces rather than genetic
propensity in instances where there is not a high degree of consistent bloom
distortion.
I may need to reexamine my thinkin'.
I prechate the amplifacation.
