Polymerous said: I've been cutting and composting most of the seedlings (and have not given away my few "keepers" (which I do not feel are worthy of registration)), on the basis of there already being many better registered daylilies available to anyone who wants daylilies in their garden. (And while there are good registered daylilies, on the other hand there are also some which are not so good, so why add to the problem by setting unregistered seedlings loose in the world?)

For the most part, I agree with your policy. My exception is personal in that I have several dozen unbloomed Daylily seedlings, both from seed I bought and from one successful hybridization attempt. Once each seedling does bloom, I will decide if I want to keep it with an eye toward eventual registration. Those I don't keep will go to the community garden for their market sales, proceeds for which go back to the associated food bank. Each will be clearly marked with the parentage and sped on their way with my blessings. Don't think I could be so casual with Iris seedlings, but I will see what happens once I actually HAVE seedlings.
