For some reason, I forgot to link to a copy of my Spring '09 article until now:

Some may wonder why I picked these, out of the 50,000 registered varieties. There were a number of factors involved.

* First, I chose daylilies I was familiar with and have observed, grown, or photographed here in the northeast.

* I tried to minimize the number of yellow, old-fashioned daylilies listed, and just list a few of the best of them.

* I didn't want to exclude the Florida breeders, but I wanted to emphasize lesser-known breeders.

Finding some of these daylilies may be problematic Here are a few sources:
