If I put pollen of a daylily on the lip of bearded irsis could it create a new plant?

Is there a way I could do it? Can you buy a dayliliy/iris hybrid?

Iris is in the family of plants called Irididaceae. Daylilly ( Hermiocallis) is in the family of plants called Lilliaceae. Both are in two seperate families for this reason you can't graft, bud, or mix the tow families, they are not compatible. You can only do this with genus specific plants. The genus for iris is Iris, thier are a multitude of species within this genus ( the second part of the botanical name.) The genus of Daylilly is Hermiocallis, again thier are a multitude of species with in the genus.
Reply:In general, two plants of different species will not be capable of "mating" due to the difference in the number of chromosomes. Daylilies and Irises are not only not the same species, they're not the same genus or family; the closest they are related is that they are the same order (Asparagales); it's unlikely you'd get anything at all.
Reply:I dont think so. not much of a plant person but you can try it!
Reply:I would think it might have been done already if possible, but good luck with your experiments
Reply:Only if the day lily %26amp; iris are fertile
Reply:They will not cross.
Reply:I don't think so because, If I'm not mistaken, in order for cross pollination to occur they have to be members of the same species.
Reply:Good luck man handling pollen. And im pretty sure it has to be pollen of the specific plant
