You're welcome Daniel. Sorry about the aborted pods. Unfortunately that happens. Here in Missouri it's been a banner year for that. At least in my garden. I'm always up for garden visitors Amber and I didn't realize we were so close. Actually if you do stop in for a visit you can do a two garden tour if you wish. The jnabloomers garden next door belongs to my cousin April and here boyfriend Nick. They are actually a bit further along then I am in a lot of ways. I swear, if you show someone how to dab some pollen they shouldn't be allowed to rocket past you. lol. We actually pool resources together every year and kind of work things in a symbiotic way. I had a tiller issue last Fall and the last two orders I placed last year had to be saved over at their place.
As far as registration here's a link to the AHS registration instructions.
http://www.daylilies.org/Dayli... I have been holding off on registration trying to make sure I had some lines developed and headed in the direction I wanted, so this year will be my first year submitting myself. As far as evaluation I kind of take the approach of 1. Is the flower unique in some way 2. Is it an improvement of either of the parent plants. I know a lot of this is basically honor system evaluation but want to do this the right way since I plan on doing this for life.
I was looking through your pics. I think you have a good core started and have put thought into your parent plants. I'm trying to discipline myself more and not add too many ones that don't really fit the breeding lines just because I love the pretty flowers. I'll shoot you a message about directions and will get hold of my son to see if he has our website up and running yet. I'm pretty easy to find though, and have a sign out by the highway. I look forward to a visit sometime. It's always nice to talk to addicts like myself who "get it".
