Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder. I hate 90% of double Daylilies with a passion, they look like cancerous growths to me! I love double amaryllis though since the flower is well defined.

The eyes of beholder are also looking for something. Things look charming if they are symmetrical in right proportions and shades.
Same is true for Amaryllis also
Symmetrical Double

Yes Brig saheb, just look at the beauty of the symmetrical double amaryllis. As for the others the center looks like a huge pustule waiting to ooze......

I never grow double petunias or double Holly Hock, for the same reason, the character is completely lost.
