Attention all AHS Exhibition Judges & Garden Judges...and AHS members! Please may it be known that the American Hemerocallis Society has made available newly updated resources for 2018. “Daylily Exhibitions: A Practical Guide for daylily exhibitions, judges, and show chairs 2018” is a must for all daylily exhibition participants. “Judging Daylilies in the Garden (2018)” enhances earlier handbooks for garden judges with color photographs of daylily forms as well as additional material. The books are the work of AHS Education Chair Scott Elliott and his committees. All new judging students-to-be are encouraged to acquire his or her individual copy of the appropriate handbook(s) before taking exhibition judge clinics or garden judge workshops. All current exhibition judges, garden judges, and instructors should always have a copy handy for refer- ence. Both books are avail- able as free, print-your- own files from the AHS Portal. The respective links are https:// daylilies.site-ym.com/page/ExhibitionJudging and https:// daylilies.site-ym.com/page/GardenJudgesHome Anyone preferring bound copies may order either handbook, or both, from Amazon.com. “Daylily Exhibitions” is priced at $19.99, while “Judging Daylilies” is offered at $9.99. A reasonable shipping fee is additional. Amazon.com offers the publications via their print-on-demand book service, so allow additional time for delivery. The Amazon.com link is: https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=- search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=judging+daylilies Serving as an American Hemerocallis Society Exhibition Judge or Garden Judge does require training, including a test for each discipline, dedication, time, effort and atten- dance. There are responsibilities and requirements to fol- low. But what fun as well! Daylilies to be seen, shows to view, and gardens to tour! Friendships to be made and plenty of daylily camaraderie! And you earn the appreciation of the American Hemerocallis Society for a job well done! Thank you! Gary M.

Hello Everyone from Nova Scotia! We have some exciting updates for the AHS Regional 4 Conference this summer being held in Halifax Nova Scotia! Please don't forget to register before the early bird deadline of Friday May 25th! nsdsregion4.com Announcing our Friday Night Speaker Michael Falconer Falhaven Farm in Ontario Michael has always been an avid gardener and attributes this passion to his late paternal grandmother whom he followed around the garden at a very young age. Over the years he has collected irises, lilies, dahlias, glads and many spring bulbs but his true passion has become daylilies and hostas. In true Canadian fashion he has been crossbreeding northern to southern and has used plants from well known hybridizers such as Bill Waldrop, Pat Stamile, Frank Smith, Larry Grace, Phil Korth, Jack Carpenter, Karol Emmerich, Bryan Culver and Henry Lorrain. He is a member of the Ontario Daylily Society and currently serves as Vice President of ODS and of course he is also a member of AHS and enjoys attending as many Nationals as possible to tour the gardens and make new friends in the daylily world. Michael looks forward to sharing his passion of the flower we all love from Falhaven Farm on “ Ontario’s West Coast.” Two Tour Gardens added to the agenda for Saturday! Cecil and Lilian Dunlap Pheasant Gardens, Truro NS Pheasant Gardens is owned by Cecil & Lillian Dunlap located in Truro, NS. The land we purchased in 2007 was devoid of trees and topsoil. After many truckloads of topsoil, compost and horse manure, we began building the gardens. In the beginning, Cecil would travel from Halifax to work in the gardens, and then we built our home and moved to Truro in 2010. Our garden name was chosen because we were constantly visited by two cock pheasants while we constructed the gardens. Currently we grow 650 plus registered daylilies, along with Cecil’s half dozen seedling beds. Norm and Heather Patton Sight for Sore Eyes Garden - Truro, NS This compact residential garden has a foundation of gravelled pathways, conifers, boxwood, barberry hedges, & Japanese maples, among wooden structures. All designed in concert to highlight 15 years of daylily & perennial plantings. Various pieces of garden art contrast between the seamless blend and strikingly visual, to enhance the viewing experience. Stroll the many paths and relax at seating venues as you absorb sights & sounds in what some have suggested … 'a garden of little rooms.' 16 Table of Contents Daylilies In The Great Northeast Spring 2018
Thank you, George and Mary! Thank you! Gracias! Merci! Grazie! Danke! Region 4 member, our Stout Silver medal winner George Doorakian, is severely limiting his hybrid- izing of daylilies. He and Mary Collier Fisher of Nor’East Daylilies, who sells his introductions, donated a number of Doorakian daylily introduc- tions to Region 4. In fact, George and Mary very generously offered his introductions to all 15 AHS regions. Carl Harmon stepped up and offered to plant the daylilies at Harmon Hill until the Region 4 offi- cers made a decision about distribution. Carl said, "They came here on August 2nd, 2017 and were planted right away, Cameron Stern helped. Planted [Above, left to right: Paula Doorakian, George Doorakian and in a good spot and after about 3 weeks I noticed Mary Collier Fisher.] they had settled in and taken off really well." That’s great news, Carl and Cameron! Region 4 officers made the decision to auction some of the recent introductions at the 2018 Can-Am Classic. Proceeds will benefit Region 4. The rest will be distributed between the Region 4 clubs that have contributed por- tions of their public plant sales back to the Region. Region 4 depends upon those contributions to keep running, so thank you to HADS, BADS, CDS, ODS, NEDS, LIDS, HVIDS, NSDS and FieLDS for all your support through the years! A few of the plants that will be shared with the clubs are TERESA A. MOSHER (2017)[below, left], GREEN ICON (2015)[below, right], WELLESLEY COLLEGE (2015), COSMIC EXPLOSION (2014)[below, center], PHILL WARBASSE (2012), SENATOR EDWARD M. KENNEDY (2012) and many more. You can see images of George’s daylilies on the Nor’East Daylilies website, http://www.noreastdaylilies.com/2017_intros.htm. Thank you, everyone, who made this happen!

New AHS Daylily Ambassador Program! Submitted by Melodye Campbell Every year during bloom season there are lots of festivals and events that aren’t hosted by a daylily club or AHS members. Whether or not they are involved with the AHS, these folks SHARE OUR PASSION for daylilies. The mission of the new Daylily Ambassador program is to recognize and celebrate those folks – AHS members or not – that go above and beyond to promote daylilies to the general public. AHS is honored and humbled to recognize The Flag City Daylily Tour in Findlay, Ohio as the first Daylily Ambas- sador! In 2017, over 500 people from eleven states and Canada visited the 6 gardens on the tour. Put July 6 - 8 on your calendar for the third annual 2018 Flag City Daylily Tour. For more information, go to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/flag.city.daylily.tour/ Do you know people or organizations that make an extraordinary effort to promote daylilies to the general public? Read more about the program and download the nomination form from the links on the AHS home page. Or contact Melodye Campbell for more information about the program, displaygardens@daylilies.org.

In Memoriam Betty Fretz, a long time member of the ODS passed away in March of this year. On behalf of the ODS I extend con- dolences to her husband Marv and her family. Dr. Betty FRETZ, of Moorefield, died on Monday, March 26, 2018 in her 69th year. Wife of Marv Fretz. Daughter of Mary Rempel of Mission, B.C. Remembered by her sisters Cathy and Steve Krauchi of Prince George, B.C., Lynda and Al- lan Mantler of Abbotsford, B.C., Lorraine Stobbe and Greg Dunford of Vancouver, B.C., and their families. Betty will be loved and remembered for the many lives she touched. Don Blakely President, Ontario Daylily Society Betty Fretz, a long time member of the Ontario Daylily Society died on March 26, 2018. Best remembered by at- tendees of the ODS CanAm Classic, she was always regis- tration #1, and during the live auction if she had her heart set on a certain cultivar, good luck in trying to outbid her. Although we only knew her through ODS, she was a warm individual who always made us feel welcome at differ- ent events. Carol had the opportunity to visit her gardens 'Floral And Hardy Gardens' during one of the Region 4 Summer Meetings. The daylily 'Lady Betty Fretz' (Petit, 2005) is named in her honor, as is the somewhat whimsical 'Not Named After Betty Fretz' (Georges-M, 2015). Our condolences to her husband and family, she will be missed.

Featured Region 4 Garden: Sheltara [Editor's Note: This garden was the featured "Inter- national Garden of the Week" during the week of December 16, 2017 on the Charlotte's Daylily Diary website, http://www.daylilydiary.com/ The text and photos are reprinted here by kind permission of He- lene Ferrari, Greg Haggett and Charlotte Chamitoff.] "Welcome to Sheltara" by Helene and Frank Ferrari, Chester, CT Photos by Greg Haggett Sheltara is the home of Frank and Helene Ferrari. It is also the home for shelties, wildlife, flowers, and na- ture in abundance. Many years ago, in the front of the property, Frank dug a pond with an island connected to the main land via a Japanese bridge. He also built stone walls along parts of the pond as well as the brook flowing into the pond. Above, Helene and Frank Ferrari. Photo: Linda Kozloski Daylily gardens, together with trees, shrubs, and mixed perennials, border the pond and brook. Helene has hybridized and developed a few thousand daylilies, and has introduced six, one of which, Hemerocallis 'Sheltara Lady Cheri', is pictured below. Rhododendrons, azaleas, and spring bulbs, including myriad daffodils, are scattered about on the eleven acres. In summer, there are many potted annual arrangements. In front of the house there is a meditation garden, nestled under a large oak, that overlooks the brook. It is a special place for thought and peace. Behind the house there is another daylily garden, as well as a fairy garden for children of all ages. There are also many garden statues and whimsical adventures to enjoy. In July, the gardens are open to the public for viewing. Many garden clubs, including the Connecticut Daylily Society, have visited and have enjoyed the serenity and quiet of the gardens and surrounding nature. Gardens of all kinds give happiness to the world. Take time to view nature and enjoy its beauty. 24 Table of Contents Daylilies In The Great Northeast Spring 2018

tion of diploids has imposed itself to me, without any
real will on my part. During my morning walks in the

hybridization: good opening, sharpness of the color,
a good behavior of the stem, multiple blooms, and it
seems the diploids most often meet these criteria.
I am looking for rustic plants under our climate, which
bloom abundantly and spread out quickly. Again,
diploids stand out. I like their lightness, their simplici-

without problems.
