I know acorns are an incentive for some, but as was mentioned above, I would hope a greater motivator would be an interest in passing along the knowledge gained over the years of growing a certain cultivar. I know this forum is based on a group of people who have a keen interest in learning about and sharing their knowledge about daylilies. I know I enjoy giving away a plant to a neighbor or friend, but I enjoy it just as much when I can give them a helpful bit of information about a plant also.
Someone called me the other day, and asked about some hostas I had given them, and they mentioned they had bought several more.I was able to give them (from my very limited knowledge about hostas) a little info they found helpful, that made me feel pretty darned good.
