I purchased 'Star Crossed Lovers' from the printed catalogue of We're in the Hayfield Now daylilies many years ago. The catalogue indicated it was not fertile. It was registered as a tetraploid. I pollinated it with pollen of many different tetraploid cultivars over many years and found that it was not pod fertile. I also tried pollinating it with pollen from diploid cultivars many times and those pollinations also failed. Then one year I tried pollinating it with diploid pollen on the night before the flowers fully opened. Those pollinations succeeded. Unfortunately, I never planted the seeds so I cannot be 100% certain but I believe that 'Star Crossed Lovers' is a diploid. I think that it is a seedling that has 'Exotic Echo' in its ancestry.
