Hi Margaret
Happy to hear that the seeds are germinating well! I've always had great success with my pod picking, drying, packaging, storing method! I can't recall what years the seeds would have been from, I started sharing my daylily seeds back in 2005 or 2006. I usually keep them for 3 years then toss them out for lack of space to store them. I sometimes get blooms the following year but the flowers can change drastically the 2nd year they bloom.
Even if you don't get any beauties, just the fun of sowing them, watching them grow and anticipating the new blooms is worth the effort
