I have had this very discussion on more than one daylily group page on FB. To me any info is beneficial... I think just having specific entries for either of the known grand parents would be a first step. Also allowing SDLG as a suffix in the parent and grand parent fields would be useful... that way we would have tons more info in an economy of space.

As an alternative... an open ended field with "breeders notes" would be helpful

AND as an incentive.. they could charge more for Unknown x Unknown registrtions... that would discourage sloppiness, laziness and secretiveness...

I love these ideas! I've been building my founder stock and doing a lot of reading on hybridizer websites to understand more about the cultivars, but I'm also a bit of a sentimentalist and have tried hard to include much older daylilies in my collection. When hybridizers have stepped back from the craft or have passed away, such knowledge is lost, and it would be incredible to have a way to keep at least some of that knowledge for posterity. Thanks!!
