Awesome
There are only nine chapters, and Chapter 1 is about 10 pages (with lotsa pictures, yay!) regarding general info on history, 12 main species-lines used in hybridization in North America, color and pattern inheritance, daylily forms, and interspersed in the chapter are questions posed to readers to ponder as it then points to answers that will be covered in the remaining chapters.
I'd be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts on Chapter 1, at each person's pace (whenever they finish it and have something to share), as well as questions that come up, and especially clarifications they might have (or need) as to some of the terminology that is introduced (F1, phenotype, etc.). Overall, it strikes me that it is a great book even for beginners and presents ideas in plain English as much as possible.
Maybe we can all help each other learn - I'm a rank beginner and love to learn even through the errors in my attempts to understand!
Each re-clarification is a step forward.
Thanks, Glen, for bringing this free-download book to attention, and hoping you will jump back in tonight to take the discussion where you intended it to go, as I've just as likely strayed from the mark.
