Kathy, while the thought is wonderful, and appreciated, it is not needed. I used to be able to grow thousands of seedlings and hundreds of cultivars. Now I have a couple small beds of my favorites over the years. I enjoy helping others learn, and passing on any info rattling around in this dusty brain.
Actually, it was quite fun! And, I learned what Yuma looked like. I have heard the name for many years. Wish I had grown it. I loved the Whatley intros I grew. I think the only one I still grow is Maple Hues. Solar Music, Ram, Volvar, Buttercream... So many really great ones. The daylily world lost a great one when he passed on. When I was still putting on the Region 2 Symposium with Curt Hanson, we had Oacie as a speaker, and I was able to sit in on several very interesting conversations he was involved in that weekend.
One reason I still grow Maple Hues is that it looks fabulous with balloon flower "Fuji Blue" planted with it so that the balloon flower grows into the scapes. A knockout combination that happened quite by accident years and years ago.
I have about 25 seedlings of mine that I probably should have named, and more than one have a Whatley as a parent.
