This forum has started me down a new path. I have allowed some of the seed pods to ripen and today, I collected my first seeds. They came from Russian Easter. Next year, I will do some intentional pollinating, but this year, I will have to use what the bees or other insects have done.
Does it make any difference with the size of the seeds?
I even took pictures of my first pod:

Great!!!!
Congratulations on your first seeds! Actually you did great, I harvested just ... one seed from my first pod!!
What are you going to do now? Store them? Plant them?

I will dry them, then store them in the fridge and plant them in the winter, to get them started before transplanting them outdoors in spring. I have a sunny south window and also some sets of fluorescent lights.
I have a few other pods maturing.
Have you already planted your seed?

Congrats on the seeds!

I'm going to germinate it (if it wants) indoors, then grow until next spring.
It's the first time for me too!

My first time too!

No re-blooms or prolifs, very seldom have any, but I tried to hybridize for the first time under the tutelage of Patsy Cunningham, who took pollen before work, with my baby sitting plant Green Icon and only that. It would drive me crazy if I did not know pollen and pod parent. Most seeds harvested were from Echo the Sun - Sobeck. Also, used Picasso, Fairy Tale Pink, Lullaby Baby, Hyperion, Lady Fingers, Frilly Apron, Agape Love as pod parent.

Those seeds are the start of a wonderful addiction. You never know what your going to get. The only bad part is that it takes so darn long to find out, lol!! My very first seedling from 2013 bloomed this year. It was a seed from Lady Neva that had been bee pollinated. The seedling looked exactly like it's mama, so I won't be keeping it, but didn't have the heart to do anything with it this year.

I agree gardening in general is an exercise in patience, and growing daylilies from seed seems to be an exercise in patience extraordianaire!
