Yup, almost everyone has Stella d'Oro including me. It does it's job well in the perennial bed.

Looking back, I made these crosses back in 2004 and crossed a bunch of Siloams with Rosy Returns in hopes of getting some rebloom. It didn't work. And while I was at it, I crossed some of the Tets that I had just for grins.

While soooooo very tempting, I can't justify the cost of the newer daylilies so I'll just stick with what I've got and behave myself. I know myself well enough to know what would happen if the bug really bit me. I have a yard full of roses from my previous hybridizing obsession. Smiling

Some of the seedlings are good general garden plants so they'll get put in the perennial bed. Some have relatively good branching and vigor for being crammed so close together and never fertilized.

This one seems to keep creating more and more buds and makes a nice bright spot in the yard so I'll keep it too.
