Wow! Isle of Man is the first bloomer. 19 April 2017 Up before sunrise.

Who we are.

You came to this site because you are interested in or just plain curious about those lovely flowers you know of as daylilies or Hemerocallis. You are used to seeing the plain yellow or orange daylilies used in a lot of commercial landscaping because they are easy to maintain and care for. Pretty but a little boring. After all, plain yellow or orange? A few years ago my wife Theresa and I were at the Shopping Mall when we stumbled on the local Daylily Club Annual Show and plant Sale. The colors! All of these lovely blooms lined up for judging. Pinks, blues and purples in just about any combination you can think of. Great big 6″ and 7″ blooms. Little bitty ones about 2 1/2″. The combinations were fascinating. We couldn’t leave without a few of these plants. We just couldn’t. We picked out a few plants and took them home. The next spring we had blooms. Went to the show and plant sale for the second year and bought a few more. Every year we added to our collection and now have nearly 200 plants of all colors shapes and sizes. Talk about addiction!! Every Spring and early Summer we are greeted each morning with new smiling faces of gorgeous color. Our daughter, Niki, is a lot of help and is as deeply involved as we are. We set up this site not to sell daylilies but to stir your interest in daylilies. We will tell you of some of the problems we have had and some of the solutions we found. Maybe we can give you a head start and a higher success rate from the very beginning. Enjoy and good luck. Charles and Theresa
