Many of you know of Frank Smith of Krull Smith Orchids, and his passion for Paphs, but he also has a passion for breeding very fine Daylilies!

On my visit to the Redlands show, Fred Clarke and I went up to Apopka to visit Frank and his Daylily nursery. They were in full bloom!!
Frank was readying his place for the national show this week.

I took over a hundred pictures of his daylilies, both introduced varieties and new seedlings.

Here are a couple of varieties:

Crystelle Smith (named after his mom!)

Very cool! I love daylilies myself and have created my own hybrids. Some of the first seedlings are starting to bloom now. I can only hope that mine are half as good as Frank Smith's daylilies.
 
WOW!!! SO great colours!!! My lilies got attacked by aphids and some buds start getting brown patches, but rather late than never, I put some ladybug larvas to solve the problem...:)
