It's great to hear your enthusiasm, Dave.
But we wouldn't all be here unless we ALL learned from each other. Maybe it's just because I'm not so interested in daylilies, etc., but I really think this is the most informative forum on the site! And that partly goes to our forum moderators who structured the lily forum with the intent of preserving useful information.
Don't expect much from your Karen North pod. Only because I grow it and it is a convenient parent, I have tried pollenating it several times with questionable success. Not including a few unsuccessful tries in early years (and before good record keeping), these are my results.
First column=number of what looked like good seed from the pod. (some very questionable)
Second column=number of seeds that emerged.
