Developing new hybrid daylilies

Album Description:

This album is a work in progress. The first year we planted 125, next 700, 1400, 1800, and 3000 in 2009. It is a three year wait for blooms so one has to be patient. Hopefully, we will be able to add some beauties this year, 2010, from last year's seedlin

    • Fantastic album! It's interesting to see how other people do it. While I start mine under lights, too, I just cram the seeds into a milk carton (up to 110 on a 4" x 4" surface area) and leave the seedlings there until I plant them in the ground 4-6 months later, and I plant them only 4" apart then. I wish you the best of luck and will be expecting to see some wonderful introductions from you in the near future.

    • Now that I live in a climate where I can grow day lillies I hope to plant some. I have always loved them but could not grow them in 130 degree heat and 7% humidity. Here in Westminster near Disneyland we can grow about anything. Most of my hybrid cacti have flowers as large as daylillies or bigger, some up to 8 inch diameter.

    • I love your lilies, I am doing about the same thing with cacti. Hybridizing is very interesting. It takes me about 8 years to see the results of my crosses.

    • This is quite a farm for a retired couple. It must take a lot of daily work to keep up with it; a labor of love I guess. The soil looks great, and you are creating some lovely blooms. I can see some profitable years ahead.

    • You must really love what you are doing with hybridizing daylilies. Wow! So much work involved. Daylilies are some of my very favorites to grow - mostly because they grow so easily for me. Mary

    • Well Joan I know absolutly nothing of gardening or flowers, probably the only time I ever tread through the rows was to dig for fishing worms, what am I doing here I don't know! but I can say it was interesting viewing the pictures and getting an eyeful. Guess I'll have to stick to fishing stories, don't you think? suo much I've missed being a gearhead!

    • I had no idea thee was so much work to this, I just see them come up and grow, or in a vase on my home. Thankyou for all the work you do, and for this great album. Diane (Di)
