I plan on registering one daylily sometime in the next couple of years. It is one of my first seedling blooms and it's FFO was on my sister's birthday last year - so I named it after her.

I doubt if I will ever actually introduce it. This is a pretty flower, and so far the plant habit seems good - but I am registering it pretty much for family.

I also have a tall bearded Iris I will register in the future, after my grandfather who hybridized this one in the 1950's. He was in to hybridizing daylilies and Iris in North Dakota, and apparently had a large greenhouse. Apparently the greenhouse caught fire (arson was suspected but never proved) and the one I plan on registering was the only one that survived. It has been growing at my parent's house - and now my sister's house for many years. I will name it after my grandfather. The only people that will care about the iris is my family.

I still play around with seeds - and if someday I get a spectacular one, perhaps I will introduce one. But for now, since registering is so easy and not very expensive - I can see me registering one or three a year on occasion. ~Jan
