2006 Introductions

Thank You

for your kind comments, encouragement, and financial support which makes it possible to continue our hybridizing program. Cold hardiness, rebloom, branching, foliage, bud count and vigor are just as important to us as a pretty face. We appreciate the recognition of our work by others including Junior Citation, Achievement Medal, and Florida Sunshine Cup awards  by the American Hemerocallis Society.
