I'm very new to Daylillies and have never hydridized plants, but after reading all the enthousiastic reports form others and seeing the beautiful seedlings I would like to give it a try :-)

So... I'd like to ask some newbie questions Smiling

I understand that I have to pollinate the stamen of 1 flower with the pollen from another flower.
Does it matter which plant will be the pod plant and which will be the pollen plant?

After pollinating a flower, do I put a baggie or something over it to make sure that some bee doesn't 'contaminate' my flower with pollen form a third plant?

Thank you for your help!
