Where Do Daylilies Come From? Not the Cabbage Patch, Silly!

Where do daylilies (DLs) come from?  One place is ... generous clump sales! These below were acquired from a Respected Seller who's making room for ... actually I don't know what Respected Seller is making room for. But I was sure interested in investing in what Respected Seller was divesting! It's work for me  prepping new beds and coaxing the fans to quit holding hands ... well, feet actually ... AKA 'separating clumps'. But work well worth it!  Below are AHS/ADS database photos of Rita Bees' nine most newly acquired daylilies. I promise to replace these photos with my own soon as a few are showing scapes this early May weekend.

'Rita Sue' (Smith-FR, 2006)

Stay tuned to the next blog installment where I'll tell you about 'Rita Sue' (Smith-FR, 2006) and 'Rita' (Russell, 1949). 
SPOILER ALERT: This is a story of two wonderfully interesting ladies, Rita Sue and Angie, that I met by phone. And an interesting series of coincidences.

NOTE: I cannot find a photo of 'H. Rita' so I have NO idea what she looks like.
