Directions ar posted under "Schedule" link at www.gsdaylily.org Mike Huben has used the daylily above, Siloam Plum Tree, in hybridizing for Northern rebloom. Look at the rebloom buds still on this scape in mid-September! The top photo is most of the daylilies blooming for me on September 10 last year- about 1.5% of the cultivars I grow. So if I bought all of Mike's introductions so far (11), I might be able to enjoy twice as many daylilies blooming in September.
