sooby said:I wouldn't say they're rare, searching the AHS database for selfs brings up nearly 26,000 cultivars. They presumably include "complete selfs". Although it might be that if you search by year the percentage of selfs being registered now might be declining compared to non-selfs.
I meant complete selfs in particular. Like you posted above, there's one daylily registered as a complete self. Many of those 26K selfs seem to have different-colored throats, or pistil and stamens, and so aren't complete selfs. THOSE are what I was referring to as rare.
There are indeed a lot of registered selfs, though. However, newer intros are seemingly veering away from selfs, based on perusal of hybridizers' websites.
I'd still love to see a complete self from the purple or red color families, if anyone knows of one.
