A story that I can related from the first summer that we were an AHS Display Garden---An older lady (retired) came about 4:00 pm one HOT late June Sunday afternoon. She called before she came. I told her that the daylilies do not look their best in the hot afternoon and they would look much better if she could come one morning. No, she wanted to come then. She did and brought along a friend who could care less about being there. The friend did a quick stroll and was ready to go. The lady she came with seemed to not notice that her friend was hot and ready to go. After awhile the lady came up to me (I was hot, too.) and said, "But, you don't have but one or two that I have." All she had were old ones. I thought to myself, "Lady, you have missed the beautiful blooms of hundreds because you were looking for the old ones that you have." People are so interesting and funny. I love it!
