I breed daylilys , and bloom up to several hundred new ones each year . This has been the driest year in memory for us old guys and despite that we had some wonderful new blooms . If anyone is in our neighbourhood next summer you would be welcomed to visit our garden and see our birds and English Setters .We are in Stevensville ( South Niagara ) .http://www.poultrytalkontario.net/forum ... ew&id=5275

if you ever need a home for any.....LOL.
I LOVE daylilies!!!!! i have a few, but they never seem to bloom long enough for me (i want them year round LOL)
between them and asiatic lilies etc...so easy to take care of. Those are beautiful!

I love the purple and white. It is stunning! Your gardens must be stunning when all of the flowers open!

Wow I love, love, love that 2nd one.

So how does one "breed" daylilies? do you artificially pollinate them and collect seed and sprout from seed or graft or??

Beautiful! I would actually plant daylillies if I could them in interesting colours like that.

Loads of us on here love our daylilies!

To do controlled breeding you hand pollinate- take the pollen from the selected male parent and dab it on the stigma of the chosen female . If the cross takes a seed pod will form and become the size of a small walnut in a few weeks . Seeds can be harvested when the pod starts to turn brown . They are stored dry until ready to sow. Most sow them in winter and transplant outside after frost . Many will bloom the following year. I have added few more pictures.

Wow - stunning!

That second one is gorgeous!!!!
