Hembrain said: I still wish there was an easy way to preview potentially new plant performance without a member starting a new thread on each plant. Just wishing. Registration details sometimes don't tell one much, especially in terms of regional performance.
I think that is because so few people are growing some of the newest daylilies that there really just isn't any performance to evaluate in some areas. I am happy to review daylilies from my gardens, but... I am growing in zone 3 (which I do not see listed for very many other folks).
So I am not always sure that my info is relevant for someone (for example) who is gardening in zone 7. Yet again: isn't it nice to discover that a daylily that does grow well for me in zone 3 'also' does great for someone gardening in zone 8?
I think that is where / how some of the Lenington All-American contenders are found... from the 'collective' gardens where the daylilies are successful in both the cold north and the warm and humid south. And that's when I feel that my review may help someone else (when they are trying to decide whether to take a chance on a daylily they do not personally know).
But that is also why, when I wrote my suggestions for review, I did not include several that I have which were just registered this year (or are 'future intros' / not listed yet at all). I just don't think we are ready for a daylily review for one that's so new that only one or several people currently are growing it. There is just not 'enough' feedback.
