I am a collector of daylilies. Not much into trying to make new ones there are so many i dont have. I am instrested to know if any of you have any history behind any named daylilys that are not memorials. I only know two stories behind two cultivars.
First is You Lucky Girl by Terah George. She always introduced one pink a year. The year it was introduced she didnt have a pink to introduce so Jessie gave her one of his.
Second is Coach's Hot Lips and he said it was like lipstick on a woman. He said that when we weedeated his yard. He said just like lipstick on a woman. The finishing touch.
I am curious to if yall have any info on the history behind the names.
Every home needs a daylily, and every daylily needs a home.
