The poly pods I have seen are all 4 cell. I suppose a 5x5 would be 5 cell. I wonder if there are any seeds in the smaller segments.

Larry, I've never seen it on anything but Lullaby Baby. Most of the pods I've ever seen on it look like that. It's possible that I'm culling a Lullaby Baby self (I doubt it) this one seems taller than LB, but identical otherwise.

I don't recall seeing any poly blooms on LB over the years I've grown it- since 12 or 13, I think.

Larry, thank you for the acorn! I used to have a bunch of pix of the pods, but I had to use a database one to show the pod shape.

I checked my plant step program and I had already deleted (marked deceased) 'Lullaby Baby', but then I checked some pots I had set aside to deal with later (not showing in a location), and still had two fans potted up. So, I planted the two fans in the garden in one of the new back fence beds. Now to hope it blooms next season so I can set some pods on it.

Gary, I have folks who are getting them this fall, like it or not! Hilarious!
Nah, my dad, bestie, and a coworker all volunteered for Daylilies, so they've got willing homes…

Little do they know what an obsession they can be. My dad deserves it! He started my gardening love decades ago.

Your picture reminded me of when I lived in town with a small front yard. My daylily bed was planted there. Like yours, my daylilies had white paper price tags flying in the breezes with crosses noted on them.

Our mail was delivered on foot to the front door. One day when I was out there working as the mailman came he asked if I was "a botanist or something".

He said I was the talk of the substation because a substitute had carried the route and told everyone about the house with the white paper tags hanging all over the flowers. 😂

I guess they don't have much to talk about! Of course I explained what I was doing. All the seedling daylilies were supposed to be planted in the back yard. It didn't happen because I had to move out before the next spring.

PS I later stopped using paper tags because it rained enough in summer here that the blowing about when they were damp caused a lot of them to get torn, frayed, or abraded so much they were illegible. I switched to using colored paper clips.

Pat, What a neat story! It's fun when someone actually noticed and is curious enough to ask…

I had a woman ask me this morning if those waving white tags were little notes of inspiration (what a neat thought). I don't think she was as impressed with the real reason. Hilarious!

Lullaby Baby's odd pods

Of the two clumps combined, about 80% of the pods are pumpkin shaped.
