Yes, yes, it has been. Hello to all, and especially Dz! Marric, you make me chuckle, "they look like the flower is dying". My only requirement for those big spidery things is that they stand up to Oklahoma wind and while I allow drooping and birdwatching, tornadoing (twisting) and any other "movement", I want the scapes upright! After the very unusual "hurricane" we had Tuesday night, I thought one of Oklahoma Hope's babies got 2 of nearly 40 blooms knocked down. But when I saw the lovesick purple-headed finch trying to attract his sweetheart, I realized he was responsible, not the wind! When a Guidred kid can stand up to 95 mph wind and not lean, I'm impressed. Yeah! for Oklahoma Hope x Guidred. I have only an early season photo of this daylily on this computer. It has much more "movement" now as the season progresses.

They are terms that refer to the number of chromosomes that a daylily cell contains. Most plants in general are diploid, meaning they have two complete sets of chromosomes. Diploid daylilies (or Dips) have 22 chromosomes, 1 set of eleven from the pod parent and one set of 11 from the pollen parent. Tetraploid daylilies (Tets) contain 44 chromosomes, essentially giving them twice the amount of genetic material as diploids. This gives the hybridizer more opportunity for 'breaks' or more dramatic advances than can be made with diploids. Triploids are not seen often in daylilies. They have a triple set of chromosomes and are generally infertile.

Nice find! I'm guessing in his data that Melon is orange? Wonder what his test pool number was and if those results are for dips or tets. Some interpretations of Bob Carr's data. Yellow was able to produce any color except when it was crossed with another yellow or melon despite the pod/pollen parentage. Melon was able to produce every color except when used as the pod parent with pinks and reds or when crossed with yellows. Melon and yellow both had good chances to produces eyes despite the parentage, except when they crossed together! Strange. And a again Melon and yellow both had good chances to produce bicolors despite the parentage except when crossed together. Lavenders were also able to produce any color despite the parentage.
