Okay so this has been an interesting conversation and I guess that it raises more questions about developing new cultivars in general.
If I take Plant A and Plant B and pollinate them for 4 consecutive blooms, I will end up with 4 sibling pods. So what about the seeds inside? If there are 2 seeds in each pod, are those 2 seeds identical twins or just 2 more siblings (fraternal twins) produced from the union of A & B???
So I guess that my next question is that when I plant those 8 seeds, will I potentially end up with 8 new cultivars?
And another question... so Mr. Daylily went and created a new cultivar from plant A & B. Overtime, he decided that he really liked this new flower and so then what???? He had to wait for it to grow new fans so that way he could grow his supply before he could register the new cultivar?? Will he never be able to use the seeds if they were self pollinators to increase his supply???
Finally, if he registers his cultivar, sell his supply to a few growers and then all of the plants die off, is that the end of that cultivar??
