Looking forward to seeing your new Faulkner additions in the coming months. Bob was the guest speaker last month at the Region 11 winter gathering and I spoke to a few people who attended and learned of his hybridizing. We did not get to go.

Terry,
If y'all are driving, you will be within 15 minutes of my garden...I would love to have you and Ashton (and the rest of the family!) drop by on your way to Myrtle Beach, or on the way home. No weeding required 
Regina,
Driving, yes and I have looked up your town on the map so we will have to schedule a visit. By the time we have driven that far and in a vehicle with my youngest I may need to do some weeding or garden work for my sanity.

Terry, that will be a trip everyone will remember. Don't kids grow up fast.
Teresa,
yes they do and that just means that I am growing old fast. Ashton got us started with hybridizing when he was 9 years old. Last week, we (Ashton and myself) were guest speakers at the Tulsa Daylily Club. Ashton still has to tell that his great grandfather, his grandpa, and his dad have grown hundreds dayliles for at least 60 years but never hybridized. When he was 9 and got interested in plants, the first thing he wanted to know was how are new daylilies created and the first thing he wanted to do was make some new ones himself.
But he also had to try crossing bearded iris, roses, rose of sharon, and other types of lilies. About any plant that he could figuer out how to pollinate he probably tried but daylilies are his top choice. Always great doing new things, meeting new people, making memories with the family.
[quote="Legalily"]Terry if you're in the business of buying and selling daylilies I'd talk to your accountant to see if any of the trip counts as educational
What a treat to go to the show
Ginny,
Only problem is that I am my own accountant. (you are probably saying that I need a better one)
We do have farm and garden operations and report it on our taxes.
It is all educational. If you spend time with my kids you learn all the things that they picked up somewhere and constantly ask, "where did they come up with that"?
