Terry - Thanks for that info about over pollinating a daylily. If that is true, I will have a few plants needing a rest. One of the seedlings (Stippled Statement x unknown) set pods on every single bloom. (I, too, used different pollen on it!) I am sure it is going to need a nice rest after all of that. But .... I did have to cut the scapes with pods off of all my backyard daylilies because of the rat issue. Would doing that have spared the daylily from putting so much of it's energy into growing and ripening the seeds? Or does that happen when the pod first starts developing?
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us.
