GREETING
Hello Daylily Friends
Another year is over and we
cannot believe
it is time to be introducing you to our new 2017 Catalog!
The past year has just flown by and it is
amazing to think of all that was achieved in 2016 at our nursery. As always it takes us so much longer than we
anticipate in pulling the catalog together, but we hope that you enjoy
it and
find something that you can’t live without for your gardens.
Taking a moment to reflect on
2016, we of
course wish to thank you our customers, visitors and friends for
supporting us
this year. We especially wish to thank Sonya Starchak for again working so
tirelessly over the year and helping us bring you the best plants we
can. We would also like to thank the clubs
that
supported us this year, with club purchases and visits. We hope that
your
members have enjoyed growing our plants.
Of course we cannot go without
saying a big
thank you to everyone that came and visited with us during this year’s
Mecca
and joined us for our BBQ. We had a
wonderful time seeing old friends and meeting so many new ones. Thank you all for taking the time and effort
to come and support the Florida gardens and hybridizers.
Your attendance made the event a great
success and although it was a lot of work to pull it off, and it left
us with
not much time for talking to everyone on the Friday night; we were
really so
happy to meet you all.
Well, what an exciting time it
is to
release our Spring and Fall Introductions to you. Often
we have heard it said that hybridizers
don’t release their best intros in the Fall.
We certainly don’t take that position.
We believe you are seeing some of the most interesting daylilies
released
in the Fall 2016 and even more in Spring 2017.
This year is our biggest
catalog yet…. Over
32 color pages. Now that is a very big,
glossy catalog! We have decided to do
this, even during this difficult economic climate, as a way to allow
you the
customer, to see our flowers from many vantage points.
This is why we have gone to the effort to
show flower images in the sun, shade, scapes height & branching,
etc. This will give you a better idea of
what the
daylily should look like in your own gardens.
As natural as possible and in all their glory. We hope you all
appreciate that approach.
Facebook this year has been a
great source
of communication with you all during bloom season and outside of bloom.
Please
continue to check our Facebook page and follow us there.
We love to hear feedback from you on how the
plants have performed and if you ever have any issues or are in anyway
disappointed, please let us know. We
will do something to make that situation right!
To the best of our knowledge
the EU
shipping situation remains the same. We
had hoped that this may have improved for all our European customers,
however
it appears the ban on importation of plants to EU countries is still in
effect. We would of course advise you
should the
situation change.
As always we look forward to
our next bloom
season and hope that many of you will again visit with us during May
2017. At this time, we understand
that Mecca is
the weekend of May 19, 20 & 21. We
will of course be open each day in May for visiting; 7.30 – Noon. We look forward to seeing
you all again in
the garden.
Guy & Karen
