I agree I'm not an expert, but I did hybridize last year and I noticed the same thing as Daniel. And I will say that although most of my seedpods turned yellow before they went brown, not *all* of mine that produced seed did.

For the record, I highly doubt that the spider web has much to do with it. Generally, spiders are more concerned with catching bugs than drilling holes or doing any other damaging thing to your pod. I saw those same sorts of 'spider webs' last year and it didn't seem to impact my plants, as I recall. I even have a picture of one of them here (look about halfway down): http://garden.org/ideas/view/D... ...despite the 'web' and the slug, I still had seeds from that pod. Thumbs up You should be okay...

Edited to add: the reason I put the 'spider webs' in quotes was because I wasn't convinced it was a spider web...it looked more like something maybe a moth or other insect might create...in which case, I suppose it depends on which insect it is to determine whether or not it's a potential daylily destroyer. I didn't have any problems with mine, so I'm guessing it's a bug of some sort that simply needs a spot to next, not a daylily feast. ;)
