Great thread, Gale!
From what I understand, dips are much easier to set seeds on than tets are. Of course, I had to start out the hard way! I only bought tets, so I had to cross tets, and got very few seeds. Not a good way for me to get going, but I got smart the next year and bought some dips. Had fantastic success with those! Well, setting seeds anyway. The blooms were not all that great, but it gave me the confidence that I needed to keep trying. Now I do a little of both, but mostly tets, because that is what I mostly have. Wish I could give you a list, but I've never kept track of which ones worked best.
This year has been a horrible failure for getting seeds. I have a few pods growing, but nowhere near what there should be. It has just been way too hot and dry here. Since I'm moving all of my daylilies when it cools down, I decided to quit trying so that the few pods that I have can make it to maturity, and I won't have to delay moving them because I'm waiting for a pod to get ready.
One thing I really love about the database here is that it lists children of each daylily, if there are any registered ones. I often decide if I'll buy a daylily, based on any registered children. It will give you a good idea of the what you can get, and you can also see if it is a great parent because some of them have many registered kids. It is a good place to start, at least for me!
