I love to read posts like the one Davi wrote above. It gives me an inside peek at things most of us are not aware of. I must admit I don't think many of us outside of the daylily hybridizer and grower profession realize all the record keeping involved. That has been the most challenging thing for me to accomplish, every year I say I am going to keep better records and each year I fail accomplish it.
I would love to see a short video of her going through the garden taking bud counts, heights, etc. and thinking out loud as she does it. I would love to see some of the actual records (form, report, computer printout) whatever is used to record all those stats. I would love to see a video showing how to go through the garden and measure all those things...how to measure the bloom on all the different forms of daylilies, how to measure scape height, and show some examples of forms used to record all that info.
I just yesterday ordered the Plantstep software Flower program hoping it would help with all those things. I was surprised how quickly I was able to add all my named variety plants in the program. I had 218 named varieties, the database in the program was only missing two plants and I added those manually. I did notice a few were actually listed twice, not sure if that was a mistake or if it has some purpose. Still having trouble with pictures, and have not yet ventured into the hybridizing part of the program.
