Gleni said:Just a thought, can you pollinate the same flower with its own pollen? Can you pollinate flowers on the same fan? And others on the clump?


Yes you can, it's called selfing. It is done to try and bring out recessive genes. AHS link http://www.daylilies.org/ahs_d...

We sometimes do it around here on a seedling to see if it is pollen and pod fertile. It may be a young seedling that we may not be using at the time but want to make sure it is fertile.
