I think that's a good question. It has occurred to me as well. 'Green Arrow' seems to be a difficult podder here. It can and sometimes does, but it just doesn't take as readily as I'd expect. It does readily produce proliferations here. So I've wondered if plants that are using an alternative means of reproducing are correspondingly less willing to make seeds. I don't grow enough or have enough experience with daylilies to know if there is a parallel to any degree or not. It was just a thought that occurred to me. Half the scapes on 'GA' have prolifs this year. It didn't set a pod. It doesn't have the extreme form that are generally hard to get pods from, but there are always other factors.
