chalyse said:None of the blooms that I missed pollinating set pods from ants, bees, or butterflies even though we have a backyard metropolis of all of them. Do you know roughly how many older daylily blooms you had where two resulted in insect pollinated pods, Becky?

As mentioned, none of the blooms that I missed pollinating set pods from insects, though ants especially are all over them all the time. But, my question was seeking the rate of insect pollinations within a group of roughly estimated blooms, and thank you Becky for responding.

Thanks, Seed, for mentioning your natural pollinations. Can you give a rough estimate of overall percentage?
