I'm going to double down on the Polymerous daylilies, and then some. Rolling on the floor laughing

Some registered cultivars (I no longer have 'Starry Day'):






and a large-flowered diploid poly seedling (which runs maybe 66% poly):

Seedlings, of course, come from seeds, which in turn come from pods. The picture below is one of polymerous pods (do I get extra credit? Rolling on the floor laughing ) on a tet seedling of mine. The seedling itself is only about 25% poly at best, but the curious thing is that even the "normal" 3x3 flowers almost always produce 4 chambered pods! (The seedling was moved from a slightly sunnier spot to a shadier spot, and now does not poly at all. If I ever get around to it, I'm going to have to move it to a sunnier spot again, cage it from deer if I have to, and see what it does.)

Besides the polymerous daylilies, I also love the polychromes and blends! Here are a couple:


Evaluating an iris seedling, hopefully for rebloom
