Lol Peter...regrets!?

I am a lucky person. I do daylilies because they bring me joy. I have done this long enough to know that not every first year plant will bloom, that an introduction who's image was based on a third rebloom is something I will never see here, and that sometimes I am a new daylily's worst nightmare. I plant very close, I work them hard, and I rarely fertilize.

I have had very few disappointments. If you only see the hybridizer's introduction image on the auction, year after year, from a variety of different sellers, then a light should come on. I love the database here, with it's multiple imaging. The more information the better. I spend almost all of my daylily money with folks I trust, on plants I trust.

I am sorry for your TET RFK, James. That would be a hard one to swallow, mainly because of lost potential. I will admit that there have been one or two daylilies over these many years that were booted out of here more than tossed...lol. Understanding how quickly karma can be, I won't be naming any names. It would be hard for me read about a CLOWN bashing, or a SHALOTT slamming...lol.

Steve
