beckygardener said:If a conversion fails, reverts back, and the plant is used for hybridizing, does the conversion treatment affect any children seedlings from it, is it likely the plant is sterile, or does it produce like a dip?

There has been some evidence in other species that treatment with colchicine may have some effects when the conversion fails. However, there is no documented evidence for this in daylilies. In general when the conversion fails and the plant reverts back to being diploid its seedlings are diploids.
