I get on average 5 to 10 seeds in a pod, I only breed tetraploids.
I think it has something to do with Murphy's Law, the better the cross the less seeds in a pod.
I have seen small pods with a lot of seeds, and hens egg size pods with 3 seeds.
After breeding daylilies for 20 some odd years, I learned that making several repeat crosses is my best option of getting enough seeds for planting and selling.
Saying that, 2016 I have set pods with ease on some plants that never set a pod for me going back 5 years of attempts.
No matter how long I will be doing this I will never understand the how and why of pod creation.
Super pod setter, middle of the road hit or miss pod setter, the no chance in hell pod setter, the only after you tried for several years but lets set a bee pod pod setter.
I grow them all.
F-71 (Sandi Jacques x Angelique Fringes) my best new seedling from 2016
