The Variety ‘How Beautiful Heaven Must Be’ grown and entered by Susan Stowe of Topsfield, MA
\nat the American Hemerocallis Society summer exhibition held at Tower Hill Botanic Garden.
\nIt’s easy to see why they call all of this ruffling, “pie crust edging”<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n

Across America Daylilies are again, taking the gardening world by storm (OK, well, at least the Stella’d’Oro kind is!), but there is so much more to the Daylily world  – Today  I attended the New England Daylily Society<\/a> annual show held at the Tower Hill Botanic Garden<\/a> in Boylston, MA. and was so impressed with the displays that I took enough photos fill my flash drive.<\/p>\n

Find out why I made my iPhoto crash, below (Fair warning- go freeze your credit card, now).

CLOCKWISE, ‘Pandora’s Treasure’, grown and exhibited by Susan Stowe, Topsfield, MA;
\n‘Rainbow Radiance’ grown and exhibited by Paul Tarmasewicz, of Westminster, MA;
\n‘Cinderella’s Dark’ grown and exhibited by Paul Tarmasewicz, Westminster, MA;
\n‘Radiant Ruffles’ grown and exhibited by Steven H. Greene, of Sudbury, MA.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

If you live in New England, the show continues until Sunday, but hey, these are ‘day’ lilies, so I can’t guarantee that all of the varieties will have open blossoms tomorrow! Still, attending a local Daylily or Hemerocallis Society show is by far one of the best ways to pick out new varieties for your home garden. Clubs are held across the country, so look now for your local society, and see when their show is. Members are very friendly, and generally attendance is low so the welcome newbies! Guests are always welcome – and bring your camera or cell phone to capture the names of your fav’s. Seeing a cherry-pink next to a strawberry pink form with an eye, can make all of the difference in the world. Here are some of my favorites that I saw today:<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Visiting Daylily shows in July and August offers a great opportunity to see both new varieties, some even not
\nnamed yet, and classic show-worthy introductions that might be difficult to find at garden centers.
\nMembers simply know what the good varieties are, so be sure to bring your phone or your notepad.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

The diversity is amazing at these shows. This spider form was enormous, almost dinner-plate sized
\nwhile little, tiny miniatures had blossoms no larger than a golf ball.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

‘Angel Rogers’, a nice eyed and ruffled Daylily. The color is off, due to the lighting, but it was a perfect pink.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
All ages enjoyed the show.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
I have to admit the eyed daylilies remain by favorite.<\/p>\n


…and my favorite of all? This one.
