I have a question about reporting scape height, bud count and branching on this site. Which scape does one choose? Does she or he choose the most prolific scape in the clump, take an average of several scapes, or average all the scapes? The latter chose would be an onerous task on a large daylily clump. For example, my Point of View has a scapes that has a w terminal branch and a bud count of 13. However, the more typical scapes have v branching and a bud count of 8 or 9. Scape heights range from 25 to 28. My Point of View has no lateral branching, but in the case of hybrids that do, would the majority of acapes have to exhibit that trait?
Any advise for this poor neophyte would be greatly appreciated.
