If I have a clump of a particular daylily (for points of argument, let's call it DARING DECEPTION ) that will occassionally put out a genetic mutation on the blooms, will the pollen from those particular blooms be more likely to carry the genetic mutation than the normal looking blooms the plant produces?

I am specifically asking about a weird color break that happened in 2 blooms so far. They both opened normally, but had random splotches of creamy yellow on the petals that reminded me of a pinto horse. You could still see where the eye zone began, but there were definitely different colors on the blooms and it wasn't symmetrical. There was no sign of physical damage to the blooms (no slugs, aphids, etc) so I do not think that is what caused it. I guess it might have been caused by rain since both blooms opened while it was a steady rain so I didn't get photos either.

Anyway, I grabbed some pollen from the second bloom that had the color break and I am thinking of trying it on a few blooms just to see if it carries. DD isn't one I was messing with, but if the trait repeats it would sure be an interesting new twist in DL markings.

So going back to my original question, would a mutation that occurs in a single bloom but is not present in all the other blooms be carried on only the odd flowers pollen or would the whole plant be likely to carry that possible mutation?

Thanks for any thoughts on this... I should have paid more attention to the genetics chapter in Bio I think. It sure would come in handy right now :)

Thanks
