Michele - Your answer about some looking quite different is what I am actually seeing with my hybrids. I honestly can't tell who is related to who in my daylily garden beds. You may be right about the reason due to the constant breeding with other cultivars to get the current culivars and hence unusual hybrid children from those. I wonder how many generation we'd have to go back to see what the possibilities could be?
I hope Fred will reply to my newest question from his own experience. He's been hybridizing for several years, right?
Anyone else care to share your hybridizing experience????
