I wasn't going to respond to comments on pollen transferred by insects the majority of the time.
When I consider the progress that has been by Hybridizers I feel that stating most of the offspring was at off chance of insects or self pollen before being hand bred.
I am not going to spout off information about how it is impossible to make the progress made by breeders.
Here's a webpage called Hemerocallis Species Home page.
If you spend the time to study each Hemerocallis Species that was brought back to the United States you will begin to understand what genetics were available to begin breeding with.
From this small genetic pool the modern daylilies have evolved.
I am not going to argue back and forth or down play what has been accomplished by Hybridizers over the years.
I have given you the name of the website where you can read and make an intelligent decision based on experts on daylily species.
Warning it is not light reading.
I think you will find it interesting and appreciate more the Hybridizers progress that we build on today.
