When I stopped selling seed I only cross what I want to plant. I will make the same cross several times if it's something I am really interested in. The most seed I have planted from one cross recently is about 60 and the least is 1, the average would be 10 - 14. When I was younger and dumber and planting 10,000 seedlings each year I may have done more than 60, but very few times. I only make seed for six weeks now and not the whole bloom season.
When you were over here Thursday I told you that you need to focus on a couple of hybridizing goals and not try to work with every daylily form. I know this is hard to do when your first starting out and everything looks so good when you have that pollen in your hand. I was the same way and I still stray once in a while but I have learned that the old body can't keep up with my imagination any longer. This is not just for Michele but any other youngsters out there in daylily land, set some goals and let someone else do the rest.
