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. Thinking
Life is what happens while you are making other plans.
