Not quite what i was looking for but still interesting.
I guess what i am looking for is why someone named a cultivar what they named it and why.
Ie i know Char named Sculpted in Vermont. She lives there.
I can just only imagine when Scream and Shout was named. I can just picture Terah George when she seen it for the first time screaming and shouting . Kinda like that.
Like why did Kenny Shivey name Liddy Love. Liddy Love.
Why did someone come up with something like Crotchless Panties? Nakid Lady doing a Giggy Dance?
Where did these people come up with these names and why?
I would like to know why some of the old timers named cultivars what they did. I know there are stories to some of the names just thought it would be interesting to hear/read their stories.
Every home needs a daylily, and every daylily needs a home.
