Those are pretty examples of his daylilies. I think he's one of the contributors to the daylily books too isn't he? Thanks for the post on the sale.....Maryl

Thanks. I wanted to post some garden photos, vs the web site ones.

He is indeed one of the authors of The New Encyclopedia of Daylilies. John P. Peat is the other author.

I grow Bourbon Street. Your photo of it is so pretty. It's one of the ones that I'll probably have forever. I repotted it last Fall and it sure did improve the blooms this year. They were bigger and had more red in them than they did. It's still very very dark. the name really fits this bloom.

Thanks for sharing yours, Mona

You are welcome. I saw the notice of the sale elsewhere and thought I would share. The main problem there was that the ones on sale are the more pricy new ones. Still a great buy if it was the one(s) you want.

I love Bourbon Street. I have a few more of his, but somehow missed taking photos of them (or they are one of the many that are still unlabeled).
