HI Folks,
I am interested to know if any hybridizers are working to extend the length of time a daylily flower stays open. The term is "senescence". Daylilies follow a normal process of senescence by their flowers opening in the morning then closing at night. They last for one day.
This process of senescence is genetically controlled. Within a population of daylilies, there are those who's flowers seem to remain fresh for a longer period of time.
Have you recognized any cultivars that have the tendency to remain open for an extended period of time?
It would be great to incorporate this characteristic into a hybridizing program.
