We started messing with dip daylilies in the early 90s and in 1998 we thought we finally had something worth registering. I am saying WE because back then Kathleen did most of the hybridizing because of my job. She most likely is responsible for all of our early dip registrations, but would not register them herself so my name is on all of them. She hasn't done anything daylily related in the past ten years except the financial end, she keeps me from breaking the bank.
Back to 1998- When we saw this huge, tall, yellow daylily we contacted Jack Temple who lived about 15 miles from us, he came over, looked at the whole plant and gave his blessing, Lillian Kathleen was born. I think it was three years before I registered another daylily.
