I have never opened up my garden, although I have invited friends over. Most are not gardeners and just think that it is amazing that daylilies come in so many colors and varieties. Typical conversation:
"Boy you sure have a lot of plants. How many did you say that you had again?"
"Over 900."
"Wow, and are they really all different?" (This last is usually asked if the plants are not yet in bloom, otherwise it is obvious.)
"Yes, they really are."
"I didn't know that there were so many different ones!"
