Re: master gardener class ideas?

We have had great luck with our members presenting programs on their specific areas of interest. For instance, two of our members are active in the Iris Society. They did a wonderful program on their national conference in the northwest, complete with slides of the gardens they visited and lots of specifics on iris standards. We also had a similar program given by a member of the local herb society. Our area is also in the middle of some wonderful wilderness areas, and we have had experts on the fauna and flora there give great presentations. There are so many topics to cover when you start to think of them.

We had a man from a nursery in OKC that is a hybridizer of day lilies one time. He was very interesting. His wife works with hostas. She came back at a later date and talked to us about finding new varieties of hostas. His daylilies all have topgun in their names. He also has iris that he works with. I just found his web link. www.bobscottnursery.com

Thought maybe someone would be interested in a Lily program for MG or garden club. We just had a couple from our Regional Lily Soc speak at our garden club Thurs eve. One of the speakers is a great photographer as well as very knowledgeable regarding lilies. The other speaker is a hybridizer. Besides the usual infor on lily classifications, growing requirements and wonderful photos they also showed how to start lilies from seed and from scaling. We have a number of gardeners who are starting to grow lilies but were doing so only 
by experimenting.
