I thoroughly enjoy Paul Lewis's website -- very informative. He always has pictures of the most beautiful daylilies, and he has posted three blogs for March. And in this one, about cristates, he has posted some of Char's gorgeous beauties!

Fantastic daylilies, Char -- congratulations!

Thank you Betty. Paul asked me way back in Jan. if I'd send him a few images of my cristates to use in one of his blogs. I'm very happy to see so many others joined in as well. Some great looking cristates on his page, he did a fantastic job! I added a few of the newer ones shown in the blog last year. Crossing Fingers! Hoping they make it through the winter so I can post images this summer.

Thank you Valerie and Fred. I tip my hat to you.
So excited to see the registered cristates and my sdlgs blooming in the garden this year. A little over 3 months to go....as always, if anyone is in the area during bloom they are welcome to visit. Smiling

Char, Thumbs up on the blogspot- you cristate breeders have some good stuff going on! The blooms are very unique! I like the form of Sculpted in Vermont (surface cristation?).
