DeweyRooter said: I believe Deryll said that to let Dianne know that he used to have one she wanted but does not now have it. Deryll, you can clarify. Did you mean to suggest Oakes was selling tissue-cultured daylilies?

I would be astonished if they were. The plants I've gotten from them have always been large (clump-size) and very healthy. The flowers always look like what I was expecting. They do have some issues, but I can't believe their plants are tissue-cultured.

And thank you @Deryll - I will check with Oakes. They have always sent me superb daylilies. Really, I don't mind paying top $ for a superior plant! It's worth it.

But I paid top $ for the daylilies I ordered from BRECKs, which is why I will never buy from them again.

'Disappointment' does not come close to how I feel about that last order... (I'm still on their mailing list, and everything from them goes into the trash unopened.)

I appreciate the comments, too, from Maurice. I am sure there are some very noteworthy plants ... including hostas... which result from TC. If it did not work / was not successful, this conversation would not be taking place. But perhaps daylilies are not among the better plants for that particular process.
