DogsNDaylilies said:@Sooby - Sue, you bring up some GREAT points about creating self-grooming daylilies. Grooming is important. I'm not sure it should be on the particular form we're discussing about branching and budding, but it is definitely something that would be a handy thing to encourage people to comment on.

Agreed I wasn't suggesting that should go on this form, I mentioned it as a related factor because the bud count and branching can affect the ugliness of a scape by "capturing" spent blooms if they're of the fat and soggy kind. So if you're going with a high bud count then you'd also (hopefully) want to consider what the blooms do when they're done and whether they interfere with each other when open. The size of the actual blooms is also a factor in bud count and branching. You could get away with more smaller blooms than larger.
