I have Hemerocallis flava (or lilioasphedelus sp??) and H minor and seeds from both. Crossed. H minor has both the smallest seeds and the most in a pod while flava has large seeds but large pods as well. Flava as big as eggs-minor narrow little long pods but full. Seems they produce seeds according to their species-but I don't know what size of seeds their offspring would have as I procrastinate according to my back pain and may yet get ahead of something in the garden. Next year maybe. I have crossed Ed Murray with Orchid Corsage and then crossed the one lonely seedling with Wild Horses and the seeds seem to be almost as large as those from flava.I wonder if percentage of fertile pollen or gametes has something to do with number of seeds? Could that determine the numbers of tet seeds in a pod? Old Hortensia crossed with Red Rum produces pods packed with seeds. (But I forgot them this year and they fell on the ground!) So a casual observation might be that older dips produce more seeds.
