Our friend, Guiru Zhang
Free China (Guiru Zhang 2016 introduction) Named after the documentary, "Free China, the courage to believe." (http://freechina.ntdtz.org/helpfreechina/)
I was very sad to learn that my friend, Guiru Zhang had passed away on Easter. As with many of my daylily friends, I first got to know Guiru on Facebook. I have never met Guiru in person, but he was always very kind to me when I corresponded with him about daylilies. Guiru lived down in Mason, Ohio. I'm not sure how long he had been daylily hybridizing, but he has a very impressive toothy program, not to mention some other things he was working on as well, including patterns and green throated daylilies. I wanted to gather up some of his seedling photos to share them with you all here. Here are some of Guiru's seedlings and introductions:
