You mentioned using a plant as a pod parent because of its substance and opening habits but that you won't use it as a pollen parent. I am new to Daylilies and I am trying my hand at hybridization for fun right now. Your comment got me wondering if there are some characteristics that are more determined by the pod parent and other characteristics that are determined by the pollen parent?

I am currently using a lot of pollen from God Save The Queen because I think she is beautiful, and I'm using a lot of pollen from Lurch because I like the size and shape of it. But I am doing several other crosses since I don't have a lot of varities in my garden. Just whatever seems to be blooming and available on any given day.
