This has been a great post and I have learned a few things too, like keeping photos on Flicker and off the computer. Technology has come a long way since I tried that about 8 years ago!!
Cat, besides having a spreadsheet, I also have two 3 inch notebook with a photo and the info copied from the AHS site about size, color, etc. We have around 300 cultivars. I will say this, though, it takes a LOT of printer ink to print all those photos, but the book has been great for a quick reference when a computer is not handy. Also, we have another spreadsheet so we can see when each plant blooms each year. Like I said before...nerd for details...but this is my #1 hobby and my joy.
As far as taking a judge's class, I think that is a great idea. I became a Garden Judge last year. I know a lot about daylilies, but I learned a whole lot more. We are going to the Regional meeting in a few weeks and I plan to take the class again, just to listen and clarify a few things, because there is a lot of information. I need that refresher course.
Since a couple of you don't seem to mind if I post my NOID, I will put a couple of photos below. It is about 20 inches tall, the flower is 7 inches today. Last year it was taller, I believe, and many other plants are shorter this year because of the severe cold, we have heard. Up close, the flower appears to be a medium dusty peach, but at a distance it appears more yellow. It is a bi-color, has a white midrib, a yellow lightly ruffled edge on the petals, and a vivid lime green throat. It has a good substance, so is a sturdy flower, and not thin at all. It kept on and kept on producing flowers last year. I don't remember if it was a rebloomer, but would guess it had to be to produce so many beautiful flowers for such a long time. Two way branching, with 4 to 6 buds on each branch. Right now I only have two scapes, so that makes me think it is a rebloomer after all.
Thanks so much for your suggestions on this NOID. I want to keep it, but I need a name or it will eventually be given away.
I may start a new thread if I can't get a name. Thanks for suggesting that.
