As many of you know, I am rather new to growing Daylilies and even newer to hybridizing them. I have had a very tough time setting pods, I think this is at least partly due to the extreme heat we have had here, but I know that some of you have success in 100+ temps. I have read enough of your posts on here, to know that not all Daylilies are equal, when it comes to hybridizing with them. So, I would like to know, what some of your best parent Daylilies are. Potent pollen, sets lots of pods, produces good scapes (branching, height, sturdy, instant rebloom), nice foliage, good bud count, and of course, pretty face. I know that its unlikely to get it all, but I assume a good parent would produce several good traits, with some consistents. The number one reason to purchase a Daylily, for me I think, will always be if it's appearance appeals to me, but I do want to start taking it's possible use in hybridizing into account as well.
Thanks,
Gale
