How can one not be a fan of Larry Grace's daylilies? With his amazing introduction J.T. Davis, which won the stout medal, to countless other daylilies that were introduced through Frank Smith that Larry hybridized. When one thinks of cutting edge daylilies, you think of Larry Grace's daylilies. After Larry sold his program to Frank Smith, he still had the hybridizing bug and I'm sure the whole daylily world was happy to see Larry getting back into creating daylilies and introducing them again in 2009 for us to appreciate. I believe it was in the spring of 2009 that Larry introduced his fabulous daylily, Angel's gather round, which I have a photograph taken in my garden posted at the very top of this page. I bought Angel's gather round the year it came out and was not disappointed. It was everything Larry wrote about in his description and more. Green edged daylilies are one of my favorites to try and hybridize, and if you are trying to hybridize green edges, I strongly urge you to include Angels gather round in your selections. I had never seen Larry's daylilies in person and in June of 2010 I was fortunate enough to go out to Larry's house and see his newest stuff. I was blown away. So many cool daylilies. It was nice to see his current intros at the time and pictured right below Angels gather round at the top, is his 2010 intro Surrounded by love, which is out of Angels gather round. Larry was very kind in showing me some of his newest seedlings and at the bottom of the page I have included several photographs of what you may see in the future. I hope to be able to go visit Larry Grace down in Alabama again in the future. It is no suprise almost his entire 2012 collection is almost completely sold out. Hope you enjoyed these daylilies.
