Years ago on this forum I recall someone saying that every year they kept trying to set pods on Europa (the ditch daylily) but never got any. I was intrigued and starting doing that myself. I have a patch of about a dozen plants of Europa and every year I put tet pollen on them hoping to get viable seeds. Haven't gotten any yet. But I was thinking-- what if I did?
I believe putting tet pollen on it would most likely result in a tet-- Would a tet kid from Europa be exciting or interesting to people? A Europa kid would be fairly rare, though I do see 11 officially registered kids. Would it have to be a particularly unique bloom to generate interest, or would its closeness to the species alone make it of interest? Europa is one incredibly tough plant so it would seem possible if not likely that its kids could also be exceptionally tough. Perhaps that would generate interest.
I know I would feel some excitement about getting some viable seeds, just curious what the general interest in a tet Europa kid might be. Any thoughts?
