Thank you all for the wonderful advice. I have wanted to try my hand at hybridizing daylilies, but the past two years my health has kept me indoors. I have daylilies in pots that need to be planted into my garden (all named). My sons have promised to help me get them planted this year. I've also acquired seeds from a friend and will be planting them out this spring. My goal is to produce a few gems to name after my parents and other loved ones who have passed on, even if they never get registered! I can mark them in my garden and be happy with that. Of course, I'd name them according to their bloom characteristics. For example, my Dad's nickname was Frog. I have some seeds 'Frog's Song x Seedling', so I'd probably name that one after my Dad. I'm just in it for the pleasure of growing something beautiful and new!
Happy Hybridizing! Julie
