We need to decide on a speaker for this fall at our banquet. Usually we get a hybridizer who also donates plants to be auctioned - with the proceeds sometimes going entirely to the club but most times being split with the hybridizer. We've considered looking for entertaining people who will not be donating daylilies, but our members really enjoy those auctions and it's also quite helpful with the club's bottom line.
I would to get a list of hybridizers who still travel to speak and why you liked them if they spoke to your group.
Thanks.
