Lots of beauty out there. You just have to look.
 
I'll share one of my hybrid daylily seedlings. 3 crosses, 3 years. So far it is my favorite. I call it Topper.

That's beautiful! Was it a lot of work to grow?
It's easy. Pick 2 daylily flowers with characteristics you like. Dab pollen from one flower stamen onto the pistil of the other. Wait for a seed pod to form and dry. Refrigerate the seeds for one month and plant them 1/2 inch deep. Put the pot into water one inch deep (makes them bloom in 9 months instead of 2 years).

The hard part is the waiting till the next year to see the result of the crosses. You never know what the mixed genes will give you. Each cross is unique. The good ones grow like weeds and put out multiple branches with flowers a couple times a year. Plus they multiply.

Here is an example of parents and seedling.

Here is a pic I took of the seedling last month.

Awesome PIF! I haven't tried Mike's so I'm in.
I know most people don't find beauty in spiders, but look into these big puppy dog eyes and tell me he's not at least kinda cute.
