Christine, you are making me laugh. It wasn't too many years ago I had no late blooming daylilies and realised that bloom season ended much too soon. I got serious about late and extra late bloomers. I found out of the way sources that many people might not be aware of. Most important is that I realised that if I wanted to go late I was going to have to expand my horizons and include much plainer form daylilies than I had been used to (like the Olallie daylilies, some from Tranquil Lakes and my Hibard intros) and also branch out into UFOs and open form. Still don't care for real spider daylilies, late or not.

Plus when I started my daylily crazies I had no idea were things were hydridized and just bought lots of pretty faces. I know I ended up with lots of southern intros. But I learned about northern hybridizers and my tastes changed away from the southern beauties as I want great garden plants along with my lovely flowers. And I wanted rebloom.
