I am still amazed that you were able to stay at the main table and got to ease-drop on some of these famous hybridizer's conversations! Now THAT would blow me away!
Great recap of your visit and the photos provide a visual of this interesting and fun adventure you had. I sure wish I had been there. I've never been (in real life) around other daylily growers and enthusiasts ever in my life. (Pretty sad, huh?) I'd be like a kid in a candy store enjoying such an adventure!
Maybe one day, gardeners here locally will start wanting to grow daylilies again and perhaps the local nurseries will carry rust resistant plants to encourage the use of daylilies in my county. Which could definitely spark a club, because we have a LOT of very wealthy people on the beachside that are gardeners. Maybe it will happen in my lifetime .... I can dream.
What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters, compared to what lies within us. Garden Rooms and Becky's Budget Garden
