True for most plants in the database, Dave...

It seems to me that the info going into the form is the same info most hybridizers put into the registration, so it should have been imported from the AHS.

Shrug!

Sorry I found this thread confusing. First it was about making comments, then threads, now changing the database information.

Thanks, Larry for boiling it down for me. Thumbs up

Are you all thinking of changing the stats that are listed, or adding on an additional section for ATP member observation information?

I am not sure changing the hybridizer's registered information in our database is a good thing. Lets say the hybridizer did not register a plant as being fragrant in Indiana because he has smelled 400,000 daylilies and it takes a daylily with at least average fragrance before he registers it as fragrant. Perhaps he feels you should be able to smell it as you walk by, without even bending down to put your nose into the flower.

Then here at ATP, we have two people fill out the form who have grown daylilies 3 years and have 50 daylilies in their garden, so they really have limited daylily experience. They put down fragrant on the form, because their idea of being fragrant might be that they can smell a whiff of fragrance when they stick their nose all the way into the flower.

Two different perspectives.

If this is info from ATP members, I hope it will be noted in a seperate section or somehow clearly identified that way.
