Zoia said:I received Lady Lucille from G Wild last year by mistake ( it was supposed to be Lake of Fire). That is another Blooms of Bressingham but I haven't seen it bloom yet...that one is orange. G Wild doesn't tell you about the Blooms of Bressingham part, but it's obviously the same plant.

>> It's clear Gilbert Wild has been acquired by a more commercial company but I don't know who. All the Wild's intros are gone. It's just the ones currently being promoted commercially

Pat @ Hortaholic, please stick around and comment on our Daylily forums! You are exactly the kind of source we all hope to hear from, with an active grasp of Daylily history over the last few decades.I love to hear the stories of how these things all hang together and who knew who.

>> Thank you, you are very kind, Zoia. Maybe I should change my screen name to DaylilyGossip. 😄

Zoia said:I'm on the fence about attending the National. It's far for me and would be expensive to get there and back but it might be my only chance to do that.

>> Do it!! I doubt you could regret it. I attended my first the year I joined AHS, when I only had 22 older daylilies. But it was in Detroit, so close. You might meet some ppl from this forum. And if not I can practically guarantee you'll make new friends. Plus you'll see some of the "famous" hybridizers. And hundreds of daylilies in beautiful gardens. The main risk is coming home with an endless wish list. 😄
