So with the moth, was it found that night time pollination was the key, or that the moth's pollinations were just blocking the attempts by the hybridizer? In other words, if the moth had not pollinated the plants at night would the pollinations of the hybridizer have worked if done during the day?
I have never ventured out into the daylily beds at night (snakes for one reason) and just never had the urge to try pollinating a plant at night. I have no idea which plants might be opened or receptive to night time pollination. I should check and see which ones are listed as being nocturnal?
