I think ever since Steve Moldovan brought a bloom of his daylily, Piece of Sky out of his refrigerator in the guest house many years ago, I have been fascinated by the world of blue eyed daylilies. I really think it was Elizabeth Salter's diploids that opened the door for many of the blue eyed daylilies you see in commerce now. The advances are happening quickly and with the conversion of Richard Norris's Pigment of Imagination, I think a fully blue self bloom isn't that far off. Here are some of the most cutting edge blue eyed daylilies out there: (starting with blue eyes on cream backgrounds)

Finally here is a Guy Pierce color changer seedling. I think the color blue is getting closer every day.
I probably could have posted more. So many great photos. Each one is the property of those who submitted them and use without prior consent is prohibited. Thanks for stopping in. I think the interview season is over, but I have a few interesting segments lined up for your enjoyment. Stay tuned.
