This new feature is the result of just one part of the discussion on this thread:
The thread "Bud and Branch Update Day!" in
Daylilies forum
We really need members (hopefully next year for sure!) to "File a local report" which is located near the very bottom of the page of each cultivar in the Plant Database and to also post new or additional posts to any of the "Daylily of the Day" cultivar threads here that have already been created. I know we started the cultivar of the day feature late in the season after most members no longer have blooms or even scapes. But many of you posted anyway with reports of how the plant did overall for you this season and in past seasons.
That is helpful information! I have recently seen a post or two from a member(s) who read your info and decided that a particular cultivar was just what they needed or one that they should pass on. So these cultivar threads have already been helpful to some members. Thank you for your honest personal evaluations of each cultivar!
Many folks order daylilies over the Winter months for Spring delivery, so these threads will be read again over the Winter months. Please continue to support and add to the Daylily of the Day threads if you have (or had) any of the cultivars featured. Your performance reports are valuable to more members than you are even aware of. We have a lot of lurkers that come to the Daylily Forum regularly, but haven't posted yet. (Hopefully, they will in the future!
) So what you post is valued and read by many!
