I actually have very little control of the outcome. I make the choice of the pollen and pod parents. There is and astronomical set of possibilities in the set of daylily genetics. Similarly trying to duplicate the results of a previous cross are like trying to find two identical snow flakes in a blizzard. The chances are vey slim. Mother nature spins the wheel of fortune and each one is a little bit different. Thanks.
Does a given Lily bulb, whatever, produce similar duplicate blooms. If you had one seedling that turns into a mature plant, will its siblings be similar?
They might be similar. Often each has obvious differences in height, color, and flower form to name a few qualities. And some are vastly different. It depends on the cross and just how many I plant.
interesting hobby. Last year when I first started following your posts I found (in the sidebar) a extensive and detailed “genetics or lily color” article that I found interesting. But I lost track of it before I could save it. I think it was something you had saved from a source and I wanted to keep it.
I have found most of the color genetics are not worth it. I neither save them or use them. So if I did indeed recommend one back then please disregard it. Sorry.

Regarding purple and pink. Petty in purple and pink
Henry hates it when purple and pink get top billing…
Yes indeed
Bright eye. Very pretty.
Thanks Dan!
and the plot thickens…or colors, at least 🙂 Nice addition of purple.

Still, its fascinating to see your crosses.
They continue to captivate an surprise me too…
