Oh Oh! Thanks, first, for the second vote on strutter's ball ... i'm jotting it on my list!
Secondly, Oh Oh Ohhh!!! Juli ... because your seedling looks just like a $100 dip cultivar that google thought you'd introduced in 2012 ... doesn't that deserve a $15 registration fee?
That way, you have the chance to show its characteristics to others by housing it in ATPs database (so we can learn from your success - its Gorgeous!), and perhaps name a flower after someone or something that you'd like to commemorate. A helpful person at AHS has assured me that their core mission is simply to record names, so it doesn't matter if you cannot sell it.
I'm in the same boat ... I can't sell or ship any daylilies, but I'm planning on naming and registering any that turn out to my liking, if only for posterity. If it also ends up chronicling what crosses resulted in what characteristics, all the better. I know I find a lot of inspiration and guidance from listings in the ATP database that are clearly cultivars that were never sold....
Hoping you might consider it .......
