ROSS A. FILLMORE Daylily Originals
|
My brother and I started collecting daylilies several years ago just as a hobby because we both like
growing flowers. We both got the idea of collecting registered flowers with names of people in our
family. I got the idea when I found a flower registered as "Judith" and bought it because that is my
mother's name. So I started a daylily bed that I referred to as my "family" bed. My brother did the
same. Last summer, I got a call from my brother about possibly registering a flower for his neighbor.
Apparently, the neighbors were over and noticed all the tags with the clever names in my brothers
"family" bed. So he told her the story behind it. She stated, "I bet you can't find one with MY name
on it. I can't find anything with my name on it." My brother said, "We can fix that!" I showed them
some samples and this is what they picked.
