https://daylilies.org/daylily-...
SELF: "A flower having perianth segments all of the same color. The throat region can be a different color. In a complete self the segments, throat, pistil and stamens will all be the same color. Also see: Perianth segments, pistil, stamen, throat."

I don't see names on the pictures given with that description, but if you click on the yellow bloom, it says it is a complete-self. I believe the other picture is just a "self", not a "complete-self".

Looking up the definition of "complete-self", the ADS dictionary says:
COMPLETE-SELF: A flower having perianth segments, throat, pistil and stamens all the same color. Also see: Perianth, Pistil, Segment, Self, Stamen.

So any bloom that has more than one color on it anywhere (other than the pollen, of course) would not be a complete-self.

Yes, I messed up.Three Rivers Gold is not a complete self, the anthers are black. It is a self though. Sorry for the goof everyone.
There are some very nice complete selfs being shown in other posts. Kermit the Frog is gorgeous
