Thanks for the encouragement. I hear you about seedlings vs. registered daylilies performance. All I can say is that sometimes a cross of two good parents can sometimes create a remarkable child plant. That is what all of us that hybridize strive for.
I really believe that the 3 year growth to wait for a seedling to mature can really make all the difference in the world. I've seen it with some of my unknown seedlings. Some of them are 3 this year and they have really surprised me! They did change some (flowers) too by the 3rd year but the scapes, number of buds, and multiplying was pretty impressive in my eyes compared to the first and second year.
