Yes, 32 seeds. This is the very first year I started doing this. Pods from other daylilies had fewer seeds (even down as low as 1). But this one looked so pretty when I opened it. They just laid out there sitting nicely in there little sections, I just had to take a picture of it. There was one other pod from Cranberry Cove X Siloam Double Classic that had 40 seeds. That was my highest. But I would say that 6, 8, 10, 12, and into the teens was average. I'm not necessarily hybridizing for anything in particular. Just playing I guess. Got a little carried away as I now have about 2000 seeds. I had to kill some more grass so I will have a place to plant some seedlings (hope, hope, hope) next year. I'm reading as much as I can find here at ATP as to getting them to germinate, what to plant them in, lights, temps, fertilize, etc. So much to learn. Pollination was easy, collecting seeds was fun. Getting them to get growing will be more of a challenge. I've been following the form regarding a possible seed exchange starting up here at ATP. I've already promised many of my seeds to an area daylily grower, but may hang on to more than anticipated to join in on the seed exchange.
