A word about HYBRIDIZING.....It isn't difficult, just fascinating. All that is
required are two quality plants that will ensure that the offspring will,
hopefully, possess some, or more of their best traits. The resulting seed in turn
will become new plants that have never been seen before. All that is required
is a bit of your time. The result is well worth your patience.

| 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. |
