Those working with diploid daylilies that are genetically not far removed from the original species in characteristics should be aware that the closer a daylily is to the original characteristics the more likely it is to have an intact "pollination syndrome". Those are all the characteristics that evolved naturally to form the partnership between the plant and its pollinator so that the plant could successfully produce seeds. That means the chance that insects naturally pollinate a daylily flower is higher the fewer generations ago a cross with a species plant was made in the ancestry of the pod parent.
