Judy -- and I believe I recognize your username from the Lily Auction. I think you'll find this a wonderful forum where we discuss all sorts of "stuff", and your contributions will surely be welcome.
I agree with both of you, and this is good information. Once or twice in the past I have received a pencil-thin fan or two from someone through the Lily Auction, and after that I have avoided their auctions; but I have only received one disappointing order from a hybridizer over the past few years -- and I have never gone to that website again. Oh yes, and also the one where I ordered the DVD on his website and he kept my money and never delivered -- are you reading this Bobby? Sure hope so! Well, live and learn is all I can say.
Are the "collection only" daylilies restricted to the exotic toothy ones, or are there other hybridizers who do that? I can see where they feel they must have enough for all the collections they want to sell, but that certainly lets the rest of us out for at least the first year. Oh well -- good things are worth waiting for, I guess, plus if people are disappointed we might find out through this forum so we can avoid the same problem.
