I have more of an interest than Ashton, however this has started to peak his interest. Becky you get me going on your questions. I am creating a heritage daylily garden. Nothing later than 1979 allowed in the bed. We just started collecting more species this year. However, Hemerocallis Dumortieri is one that, rumor has it came to Oklahoma on the covered wagon with my great grandparents during the land run of 1889. We still grow it today and it blooms weeks before any other daylily in our gardens. The garden name in the family was old and early. We have tried crossing with it but no success. Next year we begin our species experiments here. I do have several seedlings with species parents growing now from purchased seeds. Are we not the strangest hybridizers you can find?
