Maurice - So basically the majority of our hybrid daylilies came from red/orange ditch lilies (fulva), correct? Which would make THAT color the dominant genetic color, correct? So that would indeed make a light yellow/near white daylily color recessive, not dominate. Or as you also said ... at the very least, it would make it an additive.
So for fulva descendents, the dominant color is always red?
Now what about a different species daylily like citrina with yellow blooms? If it was crossed with another, would the dominate color then be yellow for any seedlings?
I am trying to wrap my brain around dominant/recessive vs. the color being a specific characteristic. Is it that a particular daylily when crossed will often throw a specific color or pattern or ruffles or teeth? If that shows up in most of the seedlings, it is considered a dominate trait? And recessive is the opposite in that it can show up but not as often or as likely?
