Maurice - Is there a term for high temp survival of daylilies? I have the opposite problem here .... perhaps too hot!

Maurice and others here participating on this thread ....

I have a new question. I am discovering something I've never had happen before. I have a LOT of seed pods forming on most all my daylily seedlings. I've harvested a few pods full of seeds already. I put the different crosses in paper envelopes and let them sit out to dry (in a house with the A/C on) for 3 days. When I looked at some of the dip seeds after 3 days they were shrunken and flat. Obviously not viable. What's up with that? When I removed them from the pods, they were ripe (because the pods were opening up) and had nice black, plump seeds. So far the few tet pod seeds that I have been drying out still look and feel viable. So this seems to be a problem with the dip seeds. Why are the dip seeds doing that?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
