josieskid said:I have a question. Is it just as good if your daylily is pollen fertile? I have a couple plants that will only impregnate others, and they reject every advance from what I consider to be appropriate suitors!

Do they truly impart different attributes depending on which way they serve?


I'm not a botanist, (I don't even play one on TV) but I've heard that because of the disproportionate amount of mass between the pollen and the ovum, that some characteristics are more readily (or exclusively) carried forward by the seed parent. Variegation is the only one that comes to mind.
