Yes, that would be important to the hybridizer, I am thinking of the gardener who wants lots of plants that look a certain way and perform well in the garden. Even just pretty close would be good enough for probably 80 percent or more of actual daylily growers. I just wonder how close they could come in producing plants with the same height, bud count and flower size and looks, it seems Karol Emmerich made a conscious effort to avoid such plants even after all the breeding to get that trait out of them.
