Betja said:Mona, you probably already know about this, but as long as a daylily is registered you can quickly check the stats on it by accessing the AHS database:

http://www.daylilies.org/Dayli...

Just type in the name and it will give you the registration information, including whether it's a Diploid or Tetraploid. That will save you time if you want to make crosses, since you can't breed between the two. Both parents have to be the same or it won't take. I've now identified all my daylilies with a D or T for decision making.

I don't use the AHS database anymore. All the info is here, on ATP in the database. Plus we can click on the parentage names really easy! And it lists "children" on our database. I really like the information in ATP database. We have some areas that people can add - such as rust resistance and fertility. Hoping someday enough people will fill in that info so it is also useful.

If you have any questions on using the database, doing searches etc... look at this thread by Calif_Sue, or tree mail her.
