Fragrance is a special interest of mine, but I don't think fragrance is given much consideration in hemerocallis breeding. The AHS offered a special award for fragrance, the Plouf award, from 1979 to about 2003? see http://usna.usda.gov/PhotoGallery/DaylilyGallery/… There is also information on the AHS site. Another site, this one on hybridizing H. citrina is at http://www.brianmahieu.com/citrina.html I hope someone else can add more, breeding for fragrance is not something that seems to arouse much interest in any of the hemerocallis people I've managed to contact. Fragrance is quickly and easily lost, at least in the few hybrids I've managed to make. Ken
