KAREN: Oh my goodness, what a lovely story you have shared with us. I would cherish those sdlgs. that were given to you by Mr. Hagerstrom as well, and would try and spread there pollen around to some of your daylilies. Do you have pictures of blooms from those sdlgs? Really sorry to hear about your grandson's passing. Life can be so darn cruel sometimes. "The Band Played On' will forever be etched in my mind with your grandson. What a lovely memorial. Forget your age, and just mush on with your desire to hybridize. Live your passions now.
