Patriot Daylily Society Meeting

Saturday, May 4, 2013, noon to 3 PM, Bedford Library

 

Charmaine Rich 

"Winter and the Fourth of July"

 

More than a third of Charmaine Richʼs “Holdʼn Heaven” AHS Display Garden in East Thetford, VT, is devoted to an extensive collection of pleated, relief and cristate sculpted- form daylilies, the majority introduced by various hybridizers within the past six years. Charmaine began her own hybridizing in 2001 because of her expanding interest in sculpted forms. Her fascination with the few pattern-eyed daylilies available at that time led to her creating her own line of northern-hardy patterned-eye tetraploid daylilies. Distinctive blooms, bud count, branching, clean foliage, early- morning opening, and cold morning opening are all important criteria she uses in selecting seedlings for introduction. If you think that sculpted-form daylilies are primarily “Southern creations”, then be sure to come hear and see how Charmaine grows and creates them in a Zone 4 climate.
