I think the goals you have set are quite attainable. There are many hybridizers who are making progress toward the big full blown polka dotted daylily so just gather together the best of what you can find and start crossing them together.....or buy seeds where someone else has done that. Freckled spots are showing up in many hybridizers' gardens and I find the ones that dot around edges are quite intriguing. They just showed up in my garden a few years ago and I believe they can be stabilized fairly easily. Dave Mussar had a wonderful article in the Journal about hybridizing for spots and dots, streaking, etc. It's an exciting endeavor. The spots that are showing up here are more subtle darker pigmentation around edges.
