Last day to submit you names. If we choose a name we will post the winner early next week, please be patient, it takes time for Kathleen and I to agree on a daylily name, we want to give every name submitted a chance.

I saw a few that I checked in the AHS database.

So adding Lillian to the name does not make it unique?

Fred's instructions at the top indicate he wants us to search on the name in the AHS database without using "Lillian's". He must have his reasons, and until he decides to make a change I will do as he instructs. You're right, though, about "Lillian's" making it unique.

Thanks! That probably eliminates some of my suggestions then. I will go back and modify my list.

Edited to add:

After searching, I did find some of the names I listed. The sad part is that many of those listed didn't even have a photo in the AHS database and were registered a long time ago. A shame to let a good name go waste if the plant might not even exist anymore.

I have did this several times over the years and the instructions have always been the same with no complaints until now. There are a few here that have registered daylilies and understand the reasoning behind the data base rule. Yes "LILLIAN'S" does make any name unique, I don't want to make someone else's name unique to me. When someone is talking they have a tendency to drop the "LILLIAN'S" and just say "VAPOR TRAILS" but they know it's my "LILLIAN'S VAPOR TRAILS" and not someone else's. (Thank you Leslie) So it's my game and my ball, you must play by my rules.

Good luck and thanks to all that submitted names. GAME OVER

Fred - The conversation about names really peaked my interest, so I took a look at the AHS website. On this web page:
http://www.daylilies.org/AskTh...

I found this and I am quoting from the source about requesting a name for a plant:

1) The name must not cause confusion by echoing a name already in use.
2) The name must not exaggerate the merits of the plant.
3) The name cannot exceed thirty characters in length.
4) The name must not give the impression that the plant is derived from or related to another plant, if that is not the case.

The full list of rules may be found on the AHS website, under Registering a Daylily. A new edition, with some changes, was published in the fall of 2009.

Now I understand the rules for naming a daylily plant and why. Thumbs up Your rules echo the AHS rules! I have not named or registered a daylily yet to know about this, so the AHS information was very informative to someone like me who didn't really know. Smiling

It's so fun of you to do this, Fred. Lillian's Vapor Trail and Kaleidoscope Puzzle always make me smile when I see them because you and Mark Carpenter used the names I suggested. I'm really grateful for Riverland/Cindy coming up with "Get Off My Tutu" when I had a contest a few years ago. We've got great folks!
