My moment was when a wonderful lady who had lots of daylilies offered some for sale at a low price on a garden forum on the web. She wanted people to get interested in daylilies. She most certainly hooked me, some of the daylilies she offered are still in my garden. You should have seen me digging to make my garden larger, there is no way I could still add that amount of space now. From there I found a garden here that sold to the public (no longer exists), the lily auction, finally I made the step to purchase from some hybridizers.
When Steve mentioned SHERRY LANE CARR, that daylily wowed me from the first year in my garden it just took off and bloomed beautifully.
