TET vs DIP
3 comments
I have 2 daylilies that are very similar, yet very different.
There are two different types of daylilies based on chromosomes. A Diploid has 22 chromosomes and a Tetraploid has 44. They will not cross, ever. But they can appear very similar.
Using ‘Lines of Splendor’, I got this one:
It is a Diploid and it was started 4 years ago.
Different, using ‘Free Wheelin’, I got a Tetraploid:
Very similar to the DIP, and they are the same size.
On a previous blog, I included a photo of Gladiolus carneus.
It showed the markings really well. But here is a photo I took today showing the throat area, which is also really interesting.
