                                          Helicoprion (Dan Hansen)

      Let's get the party started.  I'm going to start posting pictures from the past season. These are daylilies grown in my garden.  Hope you enjoy the picture show.

              Tessa Ann (Dan Hansen) Best blue eyed daylily I have ever seen.

          Dad's Black Gold (Mark Sattelmeier) This one continues to impress.

Well, that's the latest from Northeast Ohio.  We've had a very mild October, but temps seem to be falling.  I have lots of seed to get in the ground.  Time is of the essence.  Thanks for checking back in. Stay tuned.

                       

Three new daylily introductions

                            Ghost in the Machine (Paul K. Lewis 2018)

                                Henryetta Cokor (Paul K. Lewis 2018)

                                   Death Star (Paul K. Lewis 2018)

     Pleased to let you know my website has been updated with three new daylily introductions.  All three of these daylilies are cutting edge.  I am very proud of them.  My personal favorite is Ghost in the Machine, which unfortunately is sold out, but could be one of my best parents for pattern hybridizing.  Check out the website.  www.47daylilies.com.

Starting to line up hybridizers to do features on this coming Winter. Stay tuned.

 

 

New Daylily Video

     It has been a really nice season for hybridizing and seeing all the newer daylilies here at the Lewis daylily garden.  I put together a 15 minute video which I posted on YouTube of my daylily garden. I filmed it on July 27th, 2017.  I am not the best commentator, but did the best I could in spite of being very tired from everything going on.  Hope you enjoy it.  To view my video click on this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asde8-nUQfA


Check back in a couple weeks from now as I hope to put up more pictures from this season and will have some interviews with some hybridizers from around the country as well.  Hope you all  had a nice summer.

Daylily season is here!

    Well, daylily season is swinging into high gear. I've been seeing some wonderful pictures of daylilies on Facebook from around the country.  There's some exciting new things happening.  Here's a couple more.

    Thanks for checking in.  I will probably take a break here since my own season is swinging into high gear and will start posting again towards the end of summer.  Hope you enjoyed the pictures and Happy Gardening to you all!
