I believe it is usually announced in November. Not even sure who the contenders were this year.

Kathy: Nice photo of CIM. I did notice that MARGO REED INDEED is listed as SEV but I noticed yesterday it is dying back like the dormants do. Anyone else that grows it notice the same thing? mantis:Thank you for the offer of HAI and we shall see next year how MRI does here before I add another. swontgirl: I'm sure someone grows CIM in your neck of the woods but not on the list you mentioned. Good point on the Stout Medal but if a winner had to get votes in all regions, I highly doubt any of them would have won. BUT then we don't know for sure since AHS doesn't publish the breakdown by region for this particular award. Julia

My earlier info was incorrect too. The 2017 Stout Medal winner won't be announced until the AHS Convention in the summer of 2018. The 2016 winner, which was announced this summer, was Rose F. Kennedy. The runners-up were Entwined in the Vine, White Eyes Pink Dragon, Everybody Loves Earnest, and God Save the Queen. I think it's the Poplarity Polls results that are announced at the fall meeting. Debra

given that criteria, I have a seedling that is now 3 years old . It grows almost 5.5 feet tall the scape is about the size of my baby finger , It bloomed from July right through to October it's a bud builder and had 38 buds on a scape , and a scape on each fan. . Only thing wrong with it is it is just a red with a yellow center ( I really like red daylilies ) but it is like sooooooo many others. I will keep it and use it as a bridge plant but I wouldnt even think of registering it as it is nothing new or unusual. I think that is why there are 80,000 plus registered daylilies because there are so many look alikes ........ and everyone thinks their plant is special . To me though , special are things like Pink Stripes, Pitter Patter , Emerald Stardust ........different from everything else out there .

Thanks for the info. A good daylily I would assume that many, many people grow in order for it to get a Stout Medal.

Thanks for the update, Nan. Rose F. Kennedy is a pretty one, and Floyd Cove has so many neat intros coming out of the tet version.

I notice that Emmerich and Gossard both had 5 HMs, with several among the top vote getters. Bob Selman had some HMs, though except for Clown Parade, far down on the list. Losers were the Rices (zilch). Norris and the Korths each had one. Of course, these awards are often just the reflection of how well distributed the hybridizer's cultivars are.

Mantis - Interesting observation about northern hybridizers doing well on the Honorable Mentions. It's also of interest how many unusual forms are on that list. Maybe there are more northern garden judges who like unusual form now.

Brad - Thanks for the link!
