Wow, Debra, just fantastic. You must have had the greatest time. Thank you so much for sharing these pictures with us.

I know I only have one Rice intro which is SOMETHING ANGELIC. I can see that I am going to have a good look at Rice daylilies for possible future additions to my garden as it looks like there some super stunners to be had.

Wow. Love them all. Great shots. I'm excited to see my Annette's Magic has buds...Candie Dwyer hasn't formed any yet...both were planted last year.....Also enjoyed your other postings...cheers, lloyd

Sounds Like you had a wonderful time. I wish I lived closer. Im Jealous!

Mary lisa carter is Paul Owen of slightly different nursery. he is a Hybridizer from polkville North Carolina. Great pics.

Thanks for the tour, Debra.

It just amazes me how far the hybridizers have come from the few original species of DLs!

It would take me too long, skimming through the photos, to choose a favorite - they're all exquisite!

Thanks for sharing,

Julie

Simply spectacular pics, thanks so much for the tour. I always suspected that the big hybridizers took their pictures inside a greenhouse. I think you just confirmed that. Born to Run has been very splotched for me, probably thrips damage. It looks perfect there. Thanks for posting.

Dot

Good company, good food and good daylilies. Does it ever get any better than that?

I had to make a trip last week that went fairly close to their place and thought about stopping, but I had a long way to go (10 to 11 hrs driving) and decided to pass it up. I still wish I would have stopped.

Great pics

Tom

Just fabulous...thanks for the tour.

David - Thanks so much for letting us know who hybridized MARY LISA CARTER. I was highly impressed by that daylily. I've bought from Paul Owen before and saw his presentation at the Region 10 Midwinter Symposium, but MARY LISA CARTER didn't stick in my brain. It's just a gorgeous flower in person - much prettier than my photo.

Debra

Well, I guess that fabulous red daylily isn't Mary Lisa Carter after all. I looked MLC up on Paul's website and that daylily is lavender with an edge. Either I didnt' write down the name of the red, or they had it mislabeled. I know thy had another one labeled Sharon Joker and it was really Wilkerson's Olly Olly Oxenfree. Wish I knew who that red really was.

Debra

Wonderful pictures, Debra! I was there on Friday afternoon...in between rain showers! I just loved loved loved being in the greenhouse! Everything looked so grand...and like the pictures! I'm still getting used to my camera (my excuse) and/or maybe I need to change the lens as I had trouble getting tags on some...boohoo. At any rate, I did get a fair amount okay...including Lotus Position and Trifecta...I'll get around to putting it all up on my blog one of these days!

Wish I could have gotten to some of the other places, but we were just flying by. I did get to Valley of the Daylilies on Sat., however.

So many pictures, so little time...

Just AWESOME Debra! Your pics are BEAUTIFUL! Definitely will have to make the northern trip one year! All the Rice cultivars do so well for me here. Sounds like it was my kind of HOEDOWN....thanks for sharing all these fantastic photos!
Nancy

Gonegardening - Please post your photos of Lotus Position and Trifecta. I really want to see those.

Debra

Glad you enjoyed the photos! Nancy, I guess it was a hoedown. LOL I'd love to visit Thoroughbred again when it's not so hectic.

Debra

OOOOOOH!!!AAAAAAAH!!!! I thank you so much for sharing all you fantastic photos. I can only dream of seeing these wonders. I bet it was a site to behold. Mona
