Diana DeCaire has written a novel called, "Deadly Blue Daylily", a cozy mystery about "theft and greed in the daylily world". Of course I'm going to purchase it.
But I've seen some comments about the unseemly side to the daylily industry, and am wondering if there truly is a dark side to daylilies? The sellers and hybridizers that I've had the pleasure to know have all seemed like very good people, though I know there are bad apples in every barrel. It makes me sad to think that the pleasure that I get from daylilies could be "tainted", in a way.
Is there really a problem with that much theft and greed? Or is it exaggerated as a literary device?
