Wow, Beth, I am assuming you are grower of daylilies for sale.

No harassment from this corner. I have or do belong to most of the plant
societies which results in acquiring more than one's share of a genus. In
time the best plants for one's garden stand out and the obsession fades into
a new mania.
I lean toward hardy plants that like our conditions as much we wish to grow
them. In time, one hopes, the best will form a great garden. Also, a garden
that will to some extent fly on it's own.
Do you grow a hem called "Monster"?
