We have several designs.  Anything with  the PDS name has no markup, other items have small markup as a fundraiser.  There is no cost for the store as long as we stay within their guidelines.


All members please feel free to email me your list of favorite 
        daylilies.

        us why its a good one.  See Members'   Favorites page.
