Margaret, such a lovely article and your hybrid's are wondrously beautiful! It is so valuable to learn what works in challenging climates, and to offer solutions that maximize success like focusing on early-bloomers. The colors you have brought forth in your seedlings, and even a great stippled cultivar, are really stunning - you have created daylilies that will thrive, and you've brought delight just by sharing them with us here!
