Here is another first for me!

With most of my daylilies newly planted this spring I don't have a lot of blooms.
But I happened to have a bloom open of

Vitamin C

and

Rocket City

I've never pollinated a daylily before and thought this would be the perfect opportunity to do so.
Grabbed some Vitamin C pollen and dabbed on two Rocket City blooms. They both took!

Hey, I'm batting 1000 on pollination! Rolling my eyes.
Of course now I'll have to see if the pods fully form, there are any viable seeds, etc. etc...

On a whim I took some Vitamin C pollen to fulva

(I assume this is fulva)
and both blooms I pollinated are now forming pods too!! So far the Vitamin C pollen appears to be potent stuff! Hilarious!
For some reason I didn't think that Vitamin C to fulva would work because fulva is so "different"? Be interesting to see what happens...
