    I am a 53 year old gardener who is crazy about daylilys. I have about 100 plants and mainly have collected these over the last 6 years. I do not hybridize yet as my space is limited in my suburban back yard. I love taking pics for my album and posting also. I also some hosta and roses and several other perennials but daylilys are what trips my trigger. Lol.
    Right now my beds are full of lush green growth and about 30 of the plants have shot up scapes. A few are beginning to bud like Pure & Simple,Christmas Ribbons and Mango Time.
    I think the the neatest about forums is helping to identify named hybrids that have lost their tags. I have a few and its a mystery that may take a few years to solve but when you do its very rewarding to know its not just another wild seedling.
    Thanks everyone for having me. Let the blooming begin.

    Hi Crazyabout, welcome to GardenStew from north central Texas.
    If we can't ID a plant for you we will certainly be able to name it....I personally prefer Fred or George. :rolleyes:

    Hope you jump right in and join the fun and learning here.
