Maurice - "The simple answer is that we do not know." I suspected this might be your answer. Thank you !!!!

Ok! So it is basically a prayer and a hope that you get what you are hoping for in a bloom through a particular cross? That would explain why so many seedlings are culled by daylily breeders. Breeders are looking for something in their seedlings that is very specific or on a narrow scope. If they don't get it in a seedling, the seedling is culled?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
