sooby said:There are multiple species of rust fungi, something like 7,000, but, there is only one species that affects daylilies - Puccinia hemerocallidis. However there is more than one strain of Puccinia hemerocallidis in circulation and a given daylily cultivar may be more resistant or susceptible to each of the different strains. So yes, resistance or not of a cultivar may depend on which strain or strains one has in a garden.


This, of course, doesn't mean one shoudn't try to select for rust resistence. Go for it - and more power to you. I tip my hat to you.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.
