this is another report out of the category \"things that happened on the way\" - I tried to cross two of my (quite common) Hemerocalis cultivars - parents were the well known bicolor \"Frans Hals\" (pic1, seed parent) and a darker red one I don\'t remember the name (pic 2, pollen). I have about 15 seedlings, but only 2 seem to be flowering this year (Second from seed) The first one (pic 3) is rather boring - something like a low-stem, well-behaved fulva i will likely get rid of, but the second one (pic4) is a keeper for me: It\'s about the color of the pollen parent, but has very clear and distinct yellow center lines on the petals. I really hoped the bicolor would show, but there are still a lot more plants to hope for next season. I don\'t think i want to dive too deep in hemerocallis as that\'s a somewhat beaten path.
