I've had a few "aha" moments that have led me down the daylily garden path... I always thought daylilies were just the narrow-petaled, solid colored blooms I saw in parking lots and in landscaping, and while I thought they were pretty I really wasn't taken with them at all.

Then I saw a daylily with an eye...

And then I saw pictures of daylilies with fancy edges on the internet...

And then I found Floyd Cove Nursery and purchased my first mini daylilies... I'll never forget seeing my first blooms on LITTLE BLOOM RIDER and CRYPTIC CYPHER!

And finally, my latest aha moment was the first time I saw a picture of ROSE F. KENNEDY, which opened up the world of huge green-throated diploids for me -- and then this spring I suddenly made a connection between diploid minis and the RFK types -- and suddenly thought about little mini RFK's!



And who knows what tomorrow brings...
