Seedforks estimates are probably more accurate.

In my daylily bed at that time, I had a smaller number of daylilies. Some of the individual daylily plants had several pods that were produced on one plant. Most of the others had none. Which is why I think not all daylilies produce nectar. The Roses in Snow seedling plant produced several pods from open-pollination that year. It was my first year growing daylilies (from seeds). I bet RIS produces nectar and the color attracted hummingbirds! (I did see a hummer at the blooms on two occasions that Spring!)

Edited to add: The other pods came from a solid red daylily seedling of unknown parentage. If I remember correctly, I got approx. 18-20 seeds my first year of growing daylilies and they were all open-pollination.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
