I wanted to add for Dennis since he is in SW Michigan that my wife will be presenting on our general hybridization program and I will be speaking about my tet Fulva program at the April 8th meeting of the Grand Rapids Daylily Society. I'm getting my talk together bit by bit.
I will add to my observations about fulvas that the seedlings (F1 and F2) are vigorous, but more importantly have resilience. In the spring of 2020, we had some very late, very hard frosts. The foliage in the seedling beds was weirdly twisted and dark green when frozen. Most of the second-year seedlings in that bed (typical tets) did not bloom at all. Most of the second-year fulva blooms did bloom fine. That's a worthwhile feature to retain from the species.
