| + | * Bloom in tropical lowlands. Daylilies don't seem to start scapes when nights are always over 70, as in Tena. However, Matt Kaskell's seed strains from the Florida Coast might have that problem licked. They will be tested. Also, seedling growth should be rapid in Tena, so I might encounter some seedlings that bloom there. | ||

* Rhyzomatious tetraploids. Probably not too difficult to produce using triploid fulva to pollinate tetraploids. Implausibility and its kids can be used too. | * Rhyzomatious tetraploids.

* Dark scapes. These lines are serendipitously rust resistant. With the evergreen Sir Blackstem (which carries melon), I should be able to use my dormant introductions. | * Dark scapes.
