Secretariat (Future intro, Paul K. Lewis)
Reagan Ann Raymond (John Kulpa)
Those two daylilies above would make an excellent cross, right?! John Kulpa and I will hopefully both be growing each others intros of each in the years to come, so hopefully that cross will happen. Both introductions are out of Karol Emmerich's intro, All Things to All Men. A double dose of those genentics would be awesome. So, I thought I would put together a picture collection of some of the most exciting daylilies with blue or shades of blue in the eye zones. To my knowledge no one has hybridized a true blue daylily, but as the eye zones get bigger, so are the chances that this might happen one day. Hopefully in my lifetime. So with nothing further, here is the picture show:

Amazing collection of blue eyed daylilies there. Some of these are already sold out or very hard to get. I think it's safe to say that blue eyed daylilies are very popular! I am sure there are some that I forgot to include, but it wasn't intentional. I only have so much time to put this together. Please join us for the next segment where I will feature the daylilies of Subhana Ansari of Pinole, California.
