No catalogs here yet either. I just joined AHS last week so nobody would have my info from that, however, I ordered gift certificates from Maryotts as Christmas gifts. You'd think that would put me on somebody's mail list but not yet. I also requested catalogs from Oakes and I forget which other, but nothing yet. I'm online all day so get my fix from online catalogs but it would be nice to thumb through a paper version now and again. Speaking of which, how many places still print catalogs since the internet has made online shopping so easy and inexpensive for the businesses to post their products?

Thanks for the ideas. I get so confussed with all the daylily names. I used to obsess over my roses names but over the years I have gotten pretty good at knowing their names. Although I have to admit I have four children, 11 grandchildren and one great grand child and I know all their names (lol) but get us all in one room and I will call role before I get the name of the one I'm addressing at the moment. It doesn't help that most of them have K and C names. . . Oh my.

Judy - I don't buy any daylilies locally. Most of my daylilies came from the Lily Auction or Mail Order. You have several daylily farms there in Georgia that I would recommend visiting. Bell's Daylily Gardens in Sycamore, GA has loads of the newest and best daylilies. Plus Bell's own intros, which are fabulous. By the way, he's having a clump sale July 14-23rd. I only wish I lived closed and could go. The clumps are for pick-up only. Another great one is Favorite Things Daylilies, run by Gregg Connell, a former Garden Web member. He is in Calhoun, GA. I've bought from him several times, and his plants are top-notch. The third daylily farm I would visit in Georgia is Kennesaw Mountain Daylily Gardens in Marietta, GA, which is owned by hybridizer Bill Waldrop. Close to the Georgia/Tennessee line, you could visit Chattanooga Daylilies in Hixson, TN, run by hybridizer Lee Pickles. As for foliage, the daylilies in my newer raised beds get Bayer 2 in 1 in April. That keeps the leaves green and lush an deters insect damage. I don't use the Bayer on my in-ground beds because I don't want to kill the earthworms. But there is a world of difference between the foliage in the raised beds and the foliage of the ones in ground. I cut back bad foliage as it appears on the ones I'm photographing. I don't have time to do major cutbacks on more than 600 daylilies. Frankly, I'm not a very tidy person and the ratty foliage doesn't bother me that much. If you do cut them back, don't cut them down to the ground. It will rob them of the energy they need. Leave at least 5-6 inches of the fan intact. Debra

His website isn't updated yet from 2014 so you have a sneak preview of what's available. I know the president of our daylily society here told me once how much he liked Tim Bell daylilies.......Maryl Here is a link that might be useful: 2014 Tim Bell catalog
