Daylily Hybridizing |
The results are very often astonishing and quizzical. Sometimes the new seedlings look a bit like mom or dad, sometime like grandma or grandpa. Sometimes they look like the milk- man, sometimes they look like they came from outer-space. How cool is that? |
Three tiers of daylily seedlings growing under banks of florescent lights during winter months. |
Every seed produced by hybridizing becomes a unique plant which will manifest traits from each parent. |
The plant that is used as the mother is the "Pod Parent". The father is called the "Pollen Parent". |
Daylilies can be used both ways (being used as either pod or pollen parent). This sets up very different strengths and inclinations & requires a bit of record keeping. |
