Hey, I hit one. I make lots of long crosses. But I have my own advice on narrow goals being more likely to hit. Ashton has a goal of making a true blue daylily with another goal of making a red with a blue eye with white teeth. Me, I just want really good plants with great scapes and lots of buds and pretty faces. They can be any form and any color. You see his target is narrow (very narrow) but I am much more likely to reach my goals. I already have with about 20-25 seedlings. A big target is easier to hit than a small one. It also helps if you get really close but I don't know what that part has to do with daylilies
