hope I didin't offend anyone calling tetraploid flowers garish, they are not all too bad, just a lot I don't like. I'm not sure why but I've always preferred and grown diploids. but of course everyone is going to like or not like way different things and aspects about flowers. So i figure most people would understand.... usually I am tongue in cheek when I say those things but my sense of humor probably doesn't come across on a chat forum post. anyway, on with whatever you like be it diploids or tetraploids, or things you don't like be it doubles, or spiders, or dips or tets etc... ha I know when I first started my garden I thought, only siloams! and then I bought more and more plants and said to myself, okay only diploids and NEVER any spiders..... and then the day came when I joined a club and saw Happy Apache, and thought, well okay only this one Tet!...(which remains true other than club flowers I host and Roses in the Snow which was leftover from a sale). And then came the day that I saw Texas Wagon Wheels in a garden, and I thought to myself, ya know that adds a nice bit of color and texture and "something" different to a bed of all the same round flowers...and then I got Tywyth Teg and Grey Witch, and Marama and Noelani, and etc.... so you get the picture. ha
Has anyone else experienced likes and dislikes that change over time? I know I've always loved doubles, but I know a lot of people think they look deformed, that's okay with me though. I think the same thing about too many teeth or the sculpting thing. ha
we all have the same love for the daylily in general no matter what shape or form, and there are plenty!, and that's good for me. :)
