Enjoyed everyone's entries....

I have only one L, and that is Line breeding. Here is a link to part 1 (there are 2 parts) of a blog entry on someone who does line breeding for rust resistance. http://daylilybreeder.blogspot... . (Yes, I'm going to keep beating that rust resistance drum.)

(Sorry to be so abrupt. I found significant rust on a daylily I had purchased largely because the hybridizer had suggested that it had little or none (in his garden); it was meant to be used in crosses with a particular rusty daylily to improve resistance, but I guess that's out. While I was glaring at this plant, I discovered that my dog (who yesterday, on a walk, rolled in something brown and smelly) had once again escaped out the fence which goes across the creek, then from there into the neighbor's yard. (We had just patched an escape route a week ago... now he has another one.) I had to go next door to hunt him down (their one acre property is extremely weedy and overgrown), but he was in full-on hunting mode and would NOT come when called or respond to shaking of the dog treats bag. I just had lunch (late) and I'm still aggravated with him.... and now I have to get back outside to the plants.)
