I like them all too.... But when it comes down to which ones get the 100 spots I have left here, and the little money I can spend or the trades I can make... **then** I get picky...
Without actually counting, my guess would be of the roughly hundred I have now, close to 50 are Hanson, 25 are my seedlings, maybe 10 are Warrell's and the rest are Rice, Moldovan... Then a few misc.
Since Rice is very near the Ohio border, almost every daylily I have was bred within 125 miles from me.
When I started cutting back, I went by performance and what I liked to decide what to keep. I don't think it was an accident that I ended up with a garden full of mostly Ohio plants. Curt's plants sometimes take three years to show me their best - but they do great here. So do Dottie Warrell's. I have had a great time crossing their lines. Curt has a few diploids, and Dottie has a few tets. I am still considering if I want to intro them. I have a few pieces out in other people's gardens to see what they think.
