RE: Re: HYB Goals

This is interesting.  I know that the daylily breders long ago started selecting for longer duration of each flower.  When a flower only lasts a day, it doesn't take much to increase its duration.
I am impressed  that past and presnt iris breeders have done so well, without a lot of fanfare.
