I really love seeing all these beautiful blooms, and hopefully I won't duplicate any that have already been shown. Dot is an amazing photographer and I do love to see her pictures!
I was so fortunate to meet the Stamiles at Bill Maryott's nursery at a Region 7 gathering back in August of 2011, and here is a picture I took of them with Sue Brown (CalifSue) and her mom. Unfortunately the shutter wasn't quite open enough and I didn't realize it until the moment was over, but at least I got a picture. The Stamiles are really amazing people, and I simply can't believe the hybridizing they have done over the course of their careers.
Grace is in white, next to Pat.
I'll post some pictures of Pat Stamile's daylilies first.
