John R. Pike
John Pike was a founding member of the Patriot Daylily Society
 well known for his beautiful daylily photography.
He passed away in early August 03.
 His wife Martha has set up  a Memorial Fund in his name for PDS.
  The interest from the fund will be used for prizes
for a yearly historic daylilies photography contest

  John had pointed out this seedling as one he was especially fond of, so George Doorakian named it for him.  This daylily polytepals 87% of the time, and is a dormant dip with 5 way branching on a 30" scape.  It makes an excellent polytepal parent.
 

Marty Wray
Marty was a well loved Nurse Practitioner and an enthusiastic  member of PDS and Tinkers. She passed away suddenly  in February 2006.  A Memorial Fund for PDS was requested by her husband Bill.  This fund is used to support our daylily babysitting program.

 Marty chose this George Doorakian daylily to be named for herself.  It is a hardy vigorous dormant Tet, and practically glows in your garden. The petals often pinch at the tips, giving it a distinctive shape.
