Patriot Daylily Society
Presents Guest Speaker
Tim Herrington of Dublin, Georgia
Saturday, February 6th, 2010
12 pm – 3 pm
Bedford Public Library
Mudge Way, Bedford, MA
Don’t miss
our door prize plants kindly donated by Tim as well as an auction for
5 of his newer intros!
Anyone
joining Patriot Daylily Society on that day will receive a free plant
directly from Tim!
Tim and his late wife Katisue have hybridized
both diploids and tetraploids in a variety of different styles, but
with emphasis on spiders, unusual forms, doubles, and bold eyes. His
hybridizing goals are to create vigor, health, a long period of bloom,
rust resistance, eye appeal and distinction……something we’d like all
of our daylilies to have so come listen and learn how Tim succeeds so
well with his daylilies. Come one, come all, you don’t have to be a
member to enjoy this great speaker and his love of our favorite
flower.

Patriot Daylily
Society Meeting
Saturday, February 6, 2010, noon to 3 PM, Bedford Library
Guest Speaker: Tim Herrington
Tim Herrington of Dublin, Georgia has been hybridizing
and selling daylilies
since 1979, for 29 of those 31 years with his late wife Katisue, whose
recent seedlings
are still being introduced. Both have hybridized both diploids and
tetraploids in a
variety of different styles, but with emphasis on spiders, unusual forms and
colors,
doubles, and bold eyes. He also hybridizes for rust-resistance (not a
concern in New
England, but essential for Southern climes); his hybridizing goals are to
create vigor,
health, a long period of bloom, rust resistance, eye appeal and distinction.
Tim is
active in AHS Region 5 and was awarded the Regional Service Award for Region
5 in
2004. He is known to be very informative and entertaining as he speaks about
his
collections and his hybridizing techniques and goals.
Members M-Z please bring a snack for our noon social time.
