Culling seedlings is painful but necessary-- and the smaller the seedling beds the more necessary it is. So I of course have quite a few seedlings that must be culled to make room for new seedlings.

While reviewing photos of hapless seedlings destined for the compost pile, this one caught my eye. It has dimpling!

A large portion of the petals have a bumpy texture which I believe is called dimpling.

I know I've seen photos of some dimpled daylilies before, but I really am not sure just how common or uncommon it is. Is it unique enough that this seedling should be spared? Very curious to hear comments on this-- a seedling's life hangs in the balance! Should I keep this seedling on the compost list, or should dimpling save the seedling?
