I see things like the mistake on MOM pretty often. I guess I am a researcher when it comes to hybridizing.
I will do things that others would not think of and I don't have any problem reaching back to the genetics of the past in my hybridizing. I do live on a farm with all the garden space that we want to work for.
bluegrassmom said:Is any one growing or setting pods for mini seedlings? I have a couple on S. June Bug and I may plant those.
We have about 200 pods on small and mini daylilies. My most used pollen parent is Little Surfer Girl. I cross the minis just to see what I can get in my hybridizing. I have been collecting miniatures for about 6 years and have more than 100 and not finished collecting. I have mostly diploids and in my collection is over 50 E. Salter and G. Stamile cultivars. Unfortuantely they don't do that well here except for a few. However, the colors and eyes and the blue in them keeps me adding more. I am confident that I can get seedlings that will perform here very well. I have to breed back some dormany and high bud count minis. It will take some time since it is two years to bloom in our gardens.
Seedling 13-150 has 46 pods on it. You can't miss with it. 100% seed set.
20 inches tall and 3 inch blooms.
I also have some other seedling we are using including some really blue eyed small ones.
