Daylily 'Red Volunteer'

this is such a lovely range of 'children'. try crossing mum/dad with children and see what you get this time. you may get some really different ones. or even children with children.
patience needed though ;o)

Well done you, it's lovely.

Thanks! If you've seen my photos of other daylilies, I have seeds in the refrigerator waiting for sowing in Jan.

well done.

Lovely Wylie, never fails to amaze me how even plants from the same seed pod can be so different !!!!

I've come up with my own numbering system that designates individual plants. That Wild Horses X Heavy Metal cross is; MN1/T-2/1 which means, I Bought the seed from user Mthrnatr on the Lily Auction, 1 is for 2011, T is because it is a TET, 2 because it was the second lot I won from him, and 1 because it was the first of that lot to flower. I then use a sharp soldering iron to melt the numbers onto a plastic tag and stake it behind the plant.

You've done very well with your crosses and Iike the way you identify your plants.

Thanks Daglelie. Since there are fewer Customs and Agriculture restrictions on seeds than plants, I've gone in that direction. And I cann't find anyone who sells daylilies in Portugal, so it's DIY. I'm looking forward to seeing your photos this winter :)
