Daylilies Region: Michigan Orchids Roses
Ina, Touch of Sky: Thank you! I will give it a try. I want to use the very late blooming daylily, 'Charleston Autumn Moonlight' which hasn't even set its buds yet -- it typically blooms in late September here in Michigan! It is an "Autumn King" seedling.

At first I was thinking that I'd have CAM be the pod parent (correct term?), but now I'm wondering if I should let the earlier blooming plant be the pod parent to ensure enough time to ripen the seeds. I will plan on saving CAM's pollen for use on earlier bloom (August) plants next year. I would like to see if I can "push" more colors into very late blooming plants.

Thanks again for the info -- off to new adventures!
