Love that second and third seedling, Ed. But they are all so beautiful!
Glad to know that hybridizers like yourself are looking for good branching. Back when I thought all daylilies were the same except for the color, I bought daylilies for the bloom alone. Now that I know better I am thinking of getting rid of some that are so top branched they just can't open well sometimes.
I won 'Yellow Ducky' in an auction and the branching may not be the best (I'm no judge), but it sure is better that some of my others. You know I must have been impressed by it to actually take a picture
It's difficult to capture the bright cheery color, but here is a picture of the branching and bloom.
