Maryl,
I feel it is well worth it!
You get 4 beautiful full color daylily journals each year with fantastic articles/pictures.
The AHS website has an on-line portal to chat and share pictures with other daylily people.
The first time you join, you get a $25 voucher to spend at one of many daylily farms/hybridizers.
I also recieve many daylily catalogs as hybridizers tend to use AHS membership as their targeted market.
Hope this helps!
Lisa
