I have a question -- Just by looking at a bloom, can you tell whether it is a dip or a tet? If a bloom has the more exotic edges (chicken fat, teeth and tendrils, double edges, etc.), does that always mean it's a tet? And is there some other way to tell, besides the more exotic edges, without having to examine pollen grains under a microscope? Because at this point, since hybridizing is now just about my main goal for getting new daylilies, whether it's a dip or tet would be my #1 criterion and I would love to find out if people could tell right away when looking at a flower whether it's a dip or tet. And knowing the parentage would certainly be one way to determine which one it is if the ploidy wasn't listed.
But if I believed it was a tet and the parentage wasn't listed, and the plant and flower still had one or more qualities I was looking for, I wouldn't hesitate to get it to try it out.
