You have a proliferation. You can cut the scape, a couple inches below the proliferation, and place in water, or plant in a pot, or in the ground. The white nubs, are roots forming. The proliferation will be the same cultivar as the mother plant. Hope this is helpful information.
Have a Blessed Day!

I'm not sure, I believe it is weather related, and possibly environmental also. I know some cultivars are more prone to production of proliferations, so maybe genetics are involved as well. If you set seed pods on a scape with a proliferation, it helps keep the scape alive longer, and can give the proliferation more time to produce roots. You will not always find root nubs on proliferations, sometimes you have to place them in water, or a moist medium, before roots begin to form. Other times you may find more established roots. Some proliferations will actually bloom while still attached to the mother plant, most do not.

Here's a link to the AHS definition of proliferation, it might help further explain them.

Welcome! James

I agree with the tips that @taylordaylily has shared. But, I thought I would share this article for dealing with those proliferations with you too.

@Jrich79 - I have noticed that the two daylilies that give me so many proliferations do not set seed as quickly as others, without proliferations, do. It may be related to energy used for proliferations as opposed to being used for seed production. Enjoy NGA.
