Exactly - curiosity to learn.
Some scientific research recently published about flowering and dormancy in a different plant species suggests that the two characteristics are biologically related. It is possible that if a plant has the genetic ability to rebloom that its ability to go dormant in a particular way is affected.
My observations suggest that no daylily goes dormant in a particular way (called endodormant - a plant that is endodormant usually must experience a certain amount of cold to be able to grow again). It also seems as if all daylilies can rebloom. The two characteristics also seem to be related in daylilies. That suggests that it might be that daylilies that cannot rebloom might be able to become endodormant. Inquiring minds (mine) would like to know.
