What would you do?

I don't get very many chances to do hybridizing as the flowers are just beginning to open when I leave for work. On big bloom days though, I come back home for an hour or so, if I can, and dab some pollen. Alison usually leaves the "diploid" hybridizing to me. Diploids are flowers with the correct number of chromozomes. The majority of daylilies in the trade today are called "tetraploids" they have two sets of chromozomes. I digress. So there I was yesterday, standing in the garden, pollen in hand... what should I cross??? The pollen I had was from a spider type called 'Skinwalker,' pictured left. It's registered at 9.5 inches in size. As I stood there, a devilish thought crossed my mind... "do it... do it..." it said. So I did. And I didn't stop there. What I did was to cross it with every miniature I could. A "Mini" is the smallest size category of daylily, less than three inches in diameter. Not only did I just cross it to minis, but to this mini-double (below) called 'Micro Dots' registered at 2.875." Who knows what will come of it? A mini spider? An extra large double spider? A big pink/orange mess? Time will tell... if it makes any seeds that is. That's the beauty of hybridizing with daylilies, you never know what you're going to get!
