So, Teresa, how many daylilies have you collected so far? I say so far, as we usually become habitual at buying more, no matter how many we have!!!

Me? I was up to 1000 before I said, enough already. But that is only because I have seedlings (new babies) every year to feed the addiction of 'I gotta see more'!!!

What forms and colors are you attracted to?

Welcome!

Bump. Just found and Love this thread. The stories are wonderful. Are there more?

PS. Dot @Ladylovingdove there is no picture of your wonderful cultivar 'Alexandra Paige' in the database.
The problem is that when you are young your life it is ruined by your parents. When you are older it is ruined by your children.

Juli, I found the thread below a bloom.

Thanks for the #2 lead. That's what I get for only reading the big blocks of text.

My name is Cheryl, I'm a 70's kid. I started hybridizing Orchids in the 80's when I was a teen. Just did it for myself, so I didn't register or sell any seedlings. I Have worked in a number of plants nurseries in my long lost past. I began to love daylilys about 3 years ago....I never did like them before....wonder what happened there! Hilarious!
Since I had done some hybridizing before, I knew I could easily have fun with daylilys. So, this year i'm trying my hand at it. Now I wish I had started this in my teens!!!!! Big Grin
Now all I need is...... a field!!!!!
A True gardener will purchase a thousand plants before thinking of where to put them :P

Welcome Cheryl! Welcome!

I hesitate to say this but as we get older our tastes change So welcome to the hemaholics club!

I was outside taking pictures of my daylilies the other day and a girl of about 14 was out walking. We got to talking and she asked what I was doing so I told her. She totally shocked me when she said that daylilies were frustrating because they only bloomed for one day! I see a future hemaholic in the making Rolling on the floor laughing
