It's been wonderful to look at all the fantastic seedlings posted here. I'm temped to do some crosses, but I need to get rid of a bunch of daylilies first. Over 5 years ago I tried my hand at hybridizing daylilies using the cheap daylilies I had in my own garden. I got around 200 seedlings. While none of them are too exciting, some are bright, vigorous, hardy and floriferous enough to keep as garden plants. This year I'm finally getting around to culling some since they take up a lot of space, although it's hard getting rid of plants that have increased and bloom well for over five years. I had kept good records but the tags with the plants all faded over time.

I made a lot of crosses using Siloams. Many turned out like this so that make it easy to get rid of a bunch.

I like this one little one and it blooms well.

Some Light Years Away crosses produced big blooms often with a thin gold edge.
