And that is exactly it for hybridizers. If it doesn't work with your program, don't bother with it - at least that is what I have been told. So I don't 'nlame' Lyle for getting rid of that massive flower on the short scape.
I have purchased some seedlings from Fred on the LA, and I just absolutely LOVE them, but they must not have worked with his program, so he didn't register them and sold them. I won't register them either, but they are really cool spidery seedlings.
That may be one reason that I am not into hybridizing as much as just playing around with it. I am having too much fun with my 15 to 50 seedlings to concentrate on a couple of aspects of daylilies at the moment. Of course this could change at any time, I have only been goofing off with my babies for 2 years so far.
And one of the nicest aspects of ATP is that the hybridizers DO come here, post photos of their seedlings and help us newbies along by giving us reasons why they did, or didn't keep a plant.Invaluable learning experience. ~Jan
