Re: My Daylilies
Fans from the same plant will be exactly the same. To get different plants by yourself you'll have to pollinate one daylily from another and wait for the seeds to form.

Re: My Daylilies
Brig saheb Daylilies are diploid or tetraploid. You cannot cross pollinate so diploids can inter pollinate with each other and tetraploids with tetraploids only. Also some Daylilies will be fertile both ways so can accept as well as give pollen and some will be one way. As you can see, to have a possible 100% success rate you'll have to know the name of your daylily then look up its particulars on the daylily database on the web. Daylilies which are good for parenting are often much much more expensive than those which are not even if the cheaper ones look better, this is because hybridizes will pay a pretty penny for it.

Re: My Daylilies
What a beauty and that too from seed. Wonderful. I would love to grow some from seed. I saw the fans at Brig Sb's home, they were very thick and healthy.
