I'm sure Sue can see who submitted the info for example for LILLIAN'S LITTLE JOE and maybe find out why that person said it is a triploid.

That is one reason I mainly use the AHS database for info on daylilies and/or the hybridizers website (if info is still available). All the info is submitted by the hybridizer so it should be accurate. Yes there are some errors in the AHS database but for the most part it is correct.

Don't get me wrong, I love the database here especially since we can add our own photos. However, since anyone can add info it can make things confusing. Sue tries to make sure the info is correct but I'm sure she cannot verify everything and assumes people submitting the info knows it is correct. I know Dave is trying to redo/update the database so multiple entries can be submitted by multiple people so it may be less confusing as maybe we will now who/where/why it was submitted kind of thing and different peoples observations will be noted and not just ONE persons. The comment sections are good for people to add this type of info if that is where they add it.

But this is a good example as to what can happen. This is not the first issue to arise from database issues and that is why Dave is trying to add to the database (I assume that is still in the works).
