What percentage of your crosses do you think actually "take"?

@bxncbx
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I did a little hybridizing last year and don't think I had this much trouble getting pods to take...but I really did very few attempts (I only had 26 seeds at the end of the season) and the temps were cooler. I was trying to be conservative earlier this season when my blooms first started because I am just not set up to grow and take care of several hundred baby daylilies here. But, I have switched to the tactic of pretty much pollinating everything since so few of the crosses are actually taking. I guess if I get too many seeds I can always sell or swap some Shrug!
