Ok, got the other matters taken care of. I got carried away and had to make a trip to my daylily guru! I spent a few hourshelping her picking daylily pods out of her magnificent field of some 2500 varieties of dayliles and admiring her boocoo bunches of other perenials! Wow! Her garden is something else!

Well any, got side lined off my chore list and acquired a huge number of seed pods from her. Check this out! I got two deep buffet server trays full of a huge variety of hopingly future pretty hybrids that is if I can get them to germinate!

My first step is to dry them out further. Daylilies are funny as you can finish most of them off drying up off the plant. I say most, because not all these pods here are going to produce me a fertile seed. I will be lucky actually to get a small portion of all of these, but still well worth the effort.

I also collected pods out of my field and so I had about 3 of these huge trays total to try to start new hybrids with!

Heres a tray! I will just set them some place in the GPS where I will not water them and let them dry out until they are brown and the seed falls from the pod or I can just crush the pod to open it up with the hull
