This is an awesome raffle! A lot of terrific daylily prizes! And I must say that tink3472's prize of "Buddy's Pretty Laura" a new introduction is stunning!

Wow! There are so many great prizes!!!!

I love daylilies! All mine are hybrids grown from seed. (No registered names.) I received some seeds several years ago by two generous seed traders and I felt like I hit the jackpot because I grew some amazing blooms from those seeds. I have since cross-pollinated by hand my favorites and yet again got some really lovely hybrids. You just never know what you might get with hybrids!

When growing daylilies from seed here in Florida, they typically bloom the second year. So I don't have to wait long to find out what the blooms will look like. Some of mine are re-bloomers, too. I love daylilies because they survive in my yard, which I can't say about all of my in-ground planting attempts. (Florida soil is horrible!)

You can never have enough daylilies! Thumbs up

Sure wish someone had offered a packet or two of mixed daylily hybrid seeds in the prize mix as well.

I got my 2 tickets .... which is all I had. Fingers crossed! Acorn Acorn
