HERRINGTON DAYLILY GARDEN

Dear Daylily Friends,
Life is a lot different now and Katisue’s memory now is my inheritance from her. There is no nobler possession than the love of another. Ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation. The memories around our favorite flower are even more significant now. She still has many seedlings with an amazing genetic storehouse left to be evaluated. Her line will continue for several more years to come, and new ones will be introduced for her by me. Her MEMORIES OF OZ won the AHS Harris Olsen Spider Award this year and her DOROTHY AND TOTO was the recipient of the Georgia Hybridizers Award in Region 5 which reflects the hard work she put into hybridizing to create beautiful daylilies. It is certainly an honor to connect with you through this website and thanks for sharing your time with Herrington Daylily Garden. Best wishes to you in your gardening endeavors in building a better world through daylilies. Tim Herrington |

(Herrington,T) 24 x 3.5 E Re Sev As a little lad with a black eye, I heard my mother explain the cause of an incident as “Boys will be boys”. This term is also often applied to grown men who act childishly and “boy” do I when I look at this exciting small flower which is all about bud count, branching and color.
