Hi to all, many of my daylilies have come from a nearby garden. I can recommend 2 southern gardens that I have ordered from. Wynn's Daylily Garden in Jasper, FL. Gene Wynn is a very nice fellow to buy from. The fans are always big and healthy. They send extra sometimes and always nice bonus plants. They grow many Munsons. All their plants are very reasonably priced. I have ordered fall and spring shipments from them for 3 years with no problems at all. I am very pleased to recommend them. Flynn's in Alabama is now Bama Daylilies. Ida Flynn is a very nice lady. I ordered from her last year and was very pleased with the healthy plants that she went me. They have many Munsons also. Both of these gardens are listed at Charlotte's Daylily Diary. I have had some very disappointing shipments from some sellers at the Lily Exchange. But, many great sellers there also. When tiny fans have come in shipments or complications in a transaction at the auction, I do not bid with that seller again. This is a good topic. Your opinions have helped me decide to order from 2 gardens that I had thought to before, but was hesitate to do so. Take care and stay warm!! Arlene

Nancy & Faraway, sorry to be discouraging, but to my knowledge, most of those places do not sell too many plants from the 60s. With the exception of Valley of the Daylilies, which has a lengthy list of historic daylilies, there may be one or two here & there on the others' lists perhaps, but, like most sellers, the other places don't have huge stocks of the real oldies. There is (was???) Linda Sue Barnes, who's in one of the Carolinas, and LaVere Webster, in Michigan, who has a registered Historic Daylily garden -- That reminds me! Check southern gardens that are AHS-registered Historic Daylily gardens! Because LaVere is in Michigan, he probably wouldn't grow the daylily you're seeking, which is an evergreen. But you never know. Same with Dan Bachman & Valley of the Daylilies. He's in Ohio. But as mentioned, he does have a very long list of historics. Worth checking out. In addition to seeking out owners of historic daylily display gardens, surely there's an online group consisting of southern growers. If there is, you could contact them. Someone might know someone, who knows someone, who...etc. Earlybird Daylilies is closing down BTW.

This site has a picture of the daylily your looking for. Here is a link that might be useful: shaw's sunshine gardens...the daylily garden of charlie & debra shaw

I only have GOOD things about Shaw's Sunshine Nursery. Charlie sent me awesome plants and is a super nice person to do business with. I'd consider his nursery as one of the #1 daylily sources. Nancy
