This list started as a compilation of recommendations from the Daylily Forum. I started collecting this list in 2003 to use as a resource for future reference... and continued it this past fall through Tinkers Forum. I have taken various recommendations from the forums in order to refer back to them for future purchase considerations. Please feel free to share any positive experiences to share with other daylily lovers :)

| Aren't I Pretty Daylily Garden | "My order came today from Bill & Betty Siau. I got extra nice double fans of FOOLED ME, ULTRAVIOLET MOOD and got SILVER TRUMPET as a bonus." |
| "Almost all of my registered daylilies came (and plan to still come) from Bill and Betty. I am fortunate in that we live in the same area - so I get to go and pick mine up in person. If you can pick up - she grows in pots. I still have some potted from last summer that wintered well and have really increased (and bloomed well in the pots, too) I just went last week and picked up my order. She told me she had a lot to ship. Really nice people. Most of the ones I just purchased were 3 to 4 fans or more. Some she said I really needed to go ahead and separate - probably 6 fans or more - you get what is in the pot! She is always great at answering my questions, has even delivered a few to me at work, and great at making suggestions when you are not sure quite what you want. On top of all that, I have found her prices very reasonable - especially for potted. " | |
| Art Gallery Gardens | "From the Lambertsons I got gigantic multiple fans of MAGNIFICENT HUMMINGBIRD, SETI and BLUE THROAT, along with a multiple fan bonus of ADA MAY MUSICK. I was not expecting so many fans, especially on newer intros. And Rachel Lambertson was so nice to deal with. " |
| Ashwood Garden | "Richard Norris is the best! I received oodles of seedlings today... all of which I am thrilled with! Healthy happy and several of them are quite large! I stand impressed!" |
| "I received my plants from Richard Norris yesterday. WOW! Great plants! Bonus plants with the plants I ordered, both extra seedlings and bonus seedlings with the seedlings I won. I'm impressed, grateful and almost giddy!" | |
| "New for me this year was Richard Norris, who sent beautiful plants that were so clean I swear he ran them through the dishwasher. " | |
| "This year was fabulous... Two separate, perfect, generous orders! Richard has the best plants!" | |
| Bell's Daylily Garden | "OOh...My order from Bell's Daylily Garden arrived. The fans were all huge and they were all triple fans or better. I wonder how in the world they get the fans as huge as they do. Steroids I reckon! I got Carpathian Cavalier, Gerda Brooker, Lemon Berry Frost, Sabine Baur and Skinwalker. Tim threw in Blueberries and Cream for a bonus! Wow, I can't wait to see these beauties! The fans were all planted in their new home within hours. I am very happy with my order. " |
| Bluegrass Daylilies | "We have received great daylily plants from Bluegrass Daylily Gardens in Shelbyville, Ky. Plants were large, healthy and chuck and Jenny were generous in their quantity. We had a great time looking at all their gardens and took our daylilies home with us.They also have a web site that easy to navigate." |
| Bluegrass Daylily Farm | "I did get my little order from Bluegrass Gardens this week and was very pleased with the quality and condition of the plants sent. David and Laura do a fine job and they have really had their hands full this year what with taking on the awesome responsibility of being the exclusive state side distributor of Mahieu introductions and everything else they've been through this year personally. They get a AAA+ rating from me!" |
| "Nice healthy plants and LOTS of bonus fans from David and Laura Burris (Bluegrass Gardens ; dablaw on the LA)" | |
| Blue Ridge Daylilies | "This is the first time I ever ordered
from Blue Ridge but I can tell you it will not be the last. My order arrived
today and I just could barely believe it as I unpacked my order. CLOWN
PARADE 5 huge fans MARILYN LEE BOCK 4 huge fans NORTHERN NOCTURNE 5 large fans TALLEQUAH FLAME 4 large fans CARNIVAL IN MEXICO which was 4 huge fans. -As if all those extra fans were not enough, on an order of 4 daylilies he sent me 4 bonus plants!!! 4 !!!! INDY HEARTSTOPPER 3 nice fans CAROLINA SUGAR DADDY 2 huge fans YOU GLOW GIRL 3 nice fans FLAME RESISTAND 2 large fans; I can't get over the quality of these daylilies and the extra gifts." |
| "So many extra fans that now I have to rethink where I'm going to plant them. Right now they are in pots. I had only paid for double fans but got lots more. I thought I would try them out with a small order and see how things went. Couldn't be happier. VERY clean plants, huge roots and fans, well packaged and good follow-up on when they were shipping. I got DANKIE, ESPIRIT DE CORP and as a gift they sent several fans of ST. HELENA YOUTH." | |
| Chigger Creek Daylilies | "Despite my urging Ed to wait until next year, Wednesday I received a very generous order from Chigger Creek Daylilies, not double fans of BLUE RIBBON ROUNDUP, but quadruple! And were they ever fat and healthy!" |
| Crochet Daylily Garden | "I received a very nice order of diploids from Clarence Crochet, and after discussing with him my hybridizing goals, he sent a bonus plant PINK EMBRACE, which I am surprised I hadn't selected myself after reading his description of it! It's always nice to have fellow hybridizers looking out for us when we don't know how to look out for ourselves!" |
| Cottage Gardens | "I got plants today from Cottage Gardens in Medina NY and they were large fans, fully rooted and bright green- more Child's cultivars for my collection and a beautiful bonus." |
| Countryside Daylilies | "I know many daylily-aholics don't live near daylily gardens, and find it difficult to get away, but by all means, if you have the opportunity, please go and visit gardens first hand. It is so different than ordering online from pictures. I visited my local "enabling nursery", Countryside Daylilies, about a hour and a half from me. They have a huge selection, and its great to see daylilies from all different hybridizers. Not to mention the fact they have some Ed Brown kids to DIE for... I purchased 4 daylilies that I would never have purchased from pictures. It is so different actually seeing them in person. Go visit! You wont be sorry." |
| Crintonic Garden | |
| Critter Creek | "I just brought in a box from Critter Creek Farm and have already put the plants in buckets to soak, before posting this note. I am so pleased with what I got from them. All plants looked freshly dug - no yellowed leaves on the fans at all, everything was very clean too. Each plant was multiple fans - 3 to 5. And the Summa Cum Laude fans are HUGE. All three of them. This must be one huge plant. I was looking for a big ruffly yellow and this might just be what I was looking for. Each fan is the size of a small package of celery and I am not exaggerating here. I had to use two hands to pick up the three fans. Now, I can't wait to plant them and get them started growing in my garden!" |
| Day Bloomer's Garden | "Received my order yesterday of 22 Munsons and they were nice green and healthy plants. Most of them were 3 fans instead of 2. I've ordered from Jane and Ralph several times before and always been pleased." |
| Daylilies By the Pond | "Daylilies by the Pond, 781 State Route 61, E. Norwalk, Ohio 419-663-4394. Sara's fans were huge, double fans arrived with 5 or 6 fans, very, very generous!!!!!! I shared with Sara how delighted I was with her plants and mentioned they were better than the southern growers. She was surprised and happy because she didn't know if she was able to compete, believe me does and can. Sara is very easy to work with, making the whole experience a pleasure. Sara has a web site now, you will find an extensive listing of daylilies, hosta, and iris. I would rate Triple AAA!!!!!" |
| Don Herr Daylilies | "Just as I was congratulating myself on having all my daylilies planted earlier this afternoon two big boxes show up UPS and its my daylilies from Don Herr in PA. I ordered 14 of his daylilies including some 2008 intros plus I put a list of four other daylilies in my order and said any of them would be my bonus choices. Well, he sent all four of my picks plus two more so I got six gorgeous bonus plants with my order, one of them being a 2008 intro of his. The plants are all really huge, again great quality. Am exceptionally please again. Of course I am going to be planting again tomorrow." |
| Eclectic Gardens | "I received my order from Eclectic Gardens in Oregon today. The plants were carefully packaged, and spotlessly clean. Every cultivar I ordered arrived as triple or quadruple fans, with great bonuses, too. I was thrilled to receive plants I actually wanted or needed for bonuses. I ordered from these people on the recommendation of some of you here at GW. I heartily second it! I couldn't be more pleased with an order. As another plus, these people are super nice and very communicative, too. I give them an A+! " |
| Favorite Things Daylily Garden | "Healthy happy plants equal a very happy collector! Gregg sent wonderful plants with extra fans on each! A++ quality, service and friendship :) Doesn't get better than that!" |
| "I wanted to say that I found my order from Gregg and June Connell sitting on my porch tonight when I came home from work. It was full of the biggest fans I have ever received! I was starting to think I would never be able to pay for my order - things just aren't going my way lately - and I had ordered plants that were "Big Deals" to me; Mildred Mitchell, Southern Coral, etc. For me, those are the most expensive, cutting edge plants I have yet purchased, a big leap of faith for me...well, the MM, which I most desired, was the largest two fans of the bunch. AND bonus fans of another plant I wanted, too. All the fans are huge & ultra healthy. I wanted to praise them for the super job they did of raising a gal's spirits today! Thanks folks!" | |
| "I couldn't post for awhile and wanted too darn puter stuff! GREG IS THEE BEST! I shall always order from him! His generosity was far beyond any I have ever known! Greg-YOU ARE #1 in my book!!! I cant wait to order again!!! | |
| "I must echo these comments. I feel so fortunate! Not only did I get to meet many of my Tinker's "bud's" on Saturday and see Tim Bell's lovely gardens, but I also had the pleasure of visiting with Gregg and June Connell on my way into and out of Georgia. Does Gregg know how to treat his customers? You betcha! If you've seen Gregg's website, you know that he SAYS he sells double fans. DOUBLE FANS -- MY FOOT!!! NOT ONE of my purchases was only a double. And there were a couple on my wish list that he refused to sell me because they were too small -- so he just GAVE them to me (still multiple fans, but just smaller ones). I came home a VERY happy camper with multiple CLUMPS of daylilies. Will I make the trip again? YOU BETCHA!" | |
| "I can also speak of excellent service from Gregg. I received an order from him six weeks ago, about ten plants. All plants were green and healthy and most were more than double fans. I had wanted ADMIRAL'S BRAID but he promptly emailed to say he was out of it. I substituted ED BROWN. When I opened the box he had sent ED BROWN and ADMIRAL'S BRAID! He enclosed a note saying that he found some AB for me and gave me that as a bonus and another bonus! I will definitely order again from him. Thanks Gregg!! " | |
| "I know that
many of you know about this garden, owned by our very own Gcon, Gregg
Connell but I'd never bought from him until a few weeks ago. Got
sent to Atlanta back last month for a training session and determined that
my co-worker and I would drive down from KY. Now me being as I am,
thought immediately that I-75 runs right by Gregg's place and even though
nothing's in bloom would I let a little thing like that stop me? Of
course not. Called Gregg, had a wonderful conversation and told him
about what time we'd be dropping in... Now I hadn't planned on
buying a huge bunch but Gregg was such a good salesman that I ended up
with a trunkful. Got home and started taking stuff out of the box
and here were all these bonuses! What a treat. All the babies
are in the ground and looking great.
Folks, if you're going down I-75 you really need to stop in and see Gregg. I can only imagine what his garden looks like in full bloom. Looked pretty darned good with nary a bloom in sight! I'm sure he'll see another order from me in the future. Thanks Gregg!" | |
| "I, too, bought plants from him this past winter/spring. I have been thrilled with their vigor, and he sent me one as a bonus, one that I had "scratched" off my list, trying to save $$. None of my fans bloomed this year, but the increase was dramatic - well worth every penny. Mildred Mitchell went from two fans to five, typical of all the increase I saw. And they are sooo health & big. I will always order from him!" | |
| "Our own GCON, Gregg Connell, went out of his way to send me a bonus he knew I wanted, after he had already mailed my order with two other bonuses. His Favorite Things Daylily Garden is definitely on my list of favorite things." | |
| "Perfect plants, unconditional friendship... that is what Gregg offers his Tinker pals! After finding out that my package was lost in the postal system, Gregg not only replaced the ordered plants but then added enough plants to FILL THE BOX!!! Healthy beautiful plants... four years worth are now gracing my gardens! This is where I look first for the plants I am looking for... cannot recommend this man more highly!" | |
| Floyd Cove | "I have been sitting on the kitchen floor with my mouth agape. You just wouldn't believe what's in this box! Yes, they're big, everyone knows they come big from Florida. BUT BUT they sent me a clump of SHORES OF TIME- this is a $200 dl- and I'm having trouble counting, but there are AT LEAST five fans in this "single fan" and I'm sitting here beside myself, hello self, I can't believe this! Plus there are some double and triple fans of other new intros, plus a couple beautiful new intros for bonuses....oh my goodness get the smelling salts! Thank you Patrick and Grace! You may have taken a few years off my life, but it's worth it!" |
| "Aren't they the greatest! They are always real generous. I wrote him last month asking if they are sure they didn't send leeks by mistake." | |
| "Ordered 2 new intros from the Stamile's. The box came today & I wondered why such a big box for 2 plants? Then I picked up the box off the front porch & couldn't believe how heavy it was for just 2 plants. Well, they did put in a bonus plant & an extra fan of 1 plant but OH MY GOD! I have never seen fans the size of these babies. You can not close your hand around the bottom of the fan, it takes 2 hands!!!" | |
| "For the first time I saw a unbelievable collection of the latest and greatest cutting edge Introductions... They are to die for in my opinion. I decide right there it was time to upgrade my hybridizing plants once and for all time. When I arrived home I made my first order from Patrick and Grace Stamile, at a considerable investment by my standards. A huge box was waiting when I arrived home today. These plant were huge with wonderful roots. They looked like they were just dug this morning. The roots were moist and very healthy." | |
| "Patrick is as good (or better) than everyone has said... I finally gave in to temptation and ordered two introductions this year~ I just HAD to after everyone's raving comments... I was delirious and had absolutely NO choice in the matter! The extra fans and bonus plant ended up being the equivalent of what I paid for the intros themselves~ he has once again outdone himself in generosity! Due to this, I am feeling no remorse or guilt... simply excitement~ thrilled to have my new plants in the garden" | |
| "I received my order from Floyd Cove Nursery and I must say WOW! They sent me 3 huge fans of Shores of Time and as a bonus they sent Complementary Colors a 2005 introduction as a bonus!" | |
| "The Stamiles sent me huge fans, too ... and their 2005 intro Metallic Butterfly as a bonus. I was absolutely stunned ... and very grateful. How on earth did they know that it was the one I wanted so much when I was looking at my budget and trying to decide whether I dared to order just one more?" | |
| "Nothing that anyone has said here can prepare you for receiving an order from Patrick! Generous to a fault~ HUGE fans!! HUGE as you have never imagined! If you want your breath to be taken away... this is it! I am still trying to capture my breath from three days ago!" | |
| "I also got my order from Pat Stamile, the '06 Butterfly Collection and every one of them were at least 4 fans huge with a couple of them 5 very nice fans. Even got a nice bonus with my Stamile order, Time Drifter. All in all, a very nice spring time order- I would highly recommend him!!!" | |
| "Wonderful plants, great bonus, thrilled; will definitely order again." | |
| "Fabulous generous plants! Every new intro had two fans Very very happy with my new plants." | |
| "Received my FC order today too. Mine was a much smaller order, just 2 cultivars that were not brand new (2005/2004) and I even used my AHS voucher. Both plants arrived as clumps of 5-6 rather than double fans & the fans were large so that was bonus enough in my mind but then they also threw in a clump of one of the plants that I had listed as an alternate if they needed to substitute, also a 2005 cultivar. Needless to say I am more than pleased." | |
| Frank Smith Daylilies | "I got his 2006 spring collection. All the plants were very large and he included MISS IZY as a bonus, which I didn't expect since most collections are sold net. I just went back to re-read your post and, actually, he didn't send FAME yet because he said the fans were small. The rest were large, though, including BRIDEY." |
| "I also received huge plants from Frank Smith. Really gorgeous fans." | |
|
"Got
the clubs Frank Smith collection in yesterday, very nice! Smallest one
was Circle Of Fire. I did get FAME with it."
| |
|
"Well I received my DLs from Mr.
Smith. I received three fans. Each one has a base as big around as my
wrist. I don't have the biggest wrists, but still. These fans are
huge. The two intros (Bridey and Bluegrass Music) had scapes and each
were splitting into another fan. I will have increase in no time. The
bonus was Vintner's Treasure. Fantastic. Now if I could just get them
to plant and weed themselves...LOL. For that kind a money they should
be able to. I can not wait to see them bloom...maybe they rebloom. I
dunno. I hope to sell and share some seeds here with my Tinker friends
in the future. I'm thinking there might be some interest in that. Thank
you Mr. Smith if you read this. Fantastic Fans! And now I am a fan of
yours."
| |
| "Despite negative reviews (heard once the order was already in place), I found excellent email communications, healthy plants arrived on time in perfect condition, along with a generous bonus; I will update on the health of the plants~ but they arrived healthy." | |
| " I received my order from Frank Smith. I ordered 3 of his most recent intros, and would have to say that I'm very pleased with the plants he sent. I realize that there are others here who have posted that they weren't happy with what they received from him. This is my first order from him and the plants he sent are very nice looking plants." | |
| Gail Austin Garden Perennials | "I just have to brag on the shipment I just got from her - it is wonderful! This is my first time buying from her, and most of the fans were sent as triples (sold as DF). I don't know how to link her site here, but check it out if you get a chance! One of the daylilies has a nice, healthy, scape with buds on it - she didn't cut it off, but used a box big enough to accommodate it! She asks for a list of preferred bonus plants, my first choice was STARTLE, and she said no problem. My order was by no means large, but I was treated like a millionaire." |
| Gardens by Judy Ann | "I just wanted to say I received my daylilies that I had ordered from Judy Ann!! And wanted to say " I am more than pleased with my daylilies I received from her!! They were sent to me healthy with plenty of roots!! With pink ribbons wrap around their labels. I even received a triple!! The way they were sent- I can feel they were sent with the love she has for her daylilies !! And that's what it's all about !!" |
| "Woo-Hoo! Now I know spring is here! My first box of plants arrived today - my first purchase with our own Judy Ann! They are huge, healthy, and super clean - it makes me realize how yucky some of the plants have been that I've gotten in the past. Thank you, thank you, Judy Ann! I'm one happy camper! LOL" | |
| Gaskins Daylily Garden | "I got my first order of the year, from Gaskins Daylily Garden
in Nashville, GA ! A bit earlier than I expected (and in time for the St Patrick's Day snow ), but I did want to get started early and have accommodations for them. I am very pleased at the nice big healthy fans and great root systems, and a nice bonus plant! Mary has been very nice to order from, and they have good prices on things I wanted." |
| Gene Wynn's Daylily Garden | "I received a very nice order from Wynn's daylily garden. I have ordered from him 3 times and think he has the best prices any where. He always sends big healthy plants with extra fans and a more than generous bonus." |
| "Yesterday I drove from my home in
central Florida to the panhandle to Gene Wynn's daylily garden. This was
quite a expedition for me- over a four hour drive. I also bought the
daylilies I got last year from Gene, after reading about him on this forum.
I had a great time, and learned so much! Rather than bore you with all the details of my time up there, I'll cut to the chase and tell you what I bought. Gene has a beautiful daylily garden. He has his own beds which are interspersed with other plants, as yours are. The plants he sells are already in pots, in alphabetical order." | |
| Gold Coast Daylily | "I got an order from Bonnie Holley of Goldcoast today...should have made photos of the huge fans, but didn't think about it. Honestly, they were about as big around as my wrist. I've never seen larger fans!! :) I already got one order from her, and they were the same way. They sure grow them big out there in California!! " |
| "I also got an order from them last year and the fans were HUGE. And I mean HUUUUUGE. Definitely would order from them again." | |
| Greywood Farms | "Third year in a row of very very generous clumps! Ordered Japanese Iris as well... received extra fans of EVERYTHING plus two Japanese Iris!! Instant garden... excellent communications and a wonderful giving seller! Highly recommended " |
| "I received an order yesterday from Darlyn at Greywood Farms that I just have to tell you about! She is in Massachusetts so the fans weren't "leek" sized Florida fans but they were HUGE for a northern garden. If it wasn't pouring rain, I'd go out and take some pictures to show you. I ordered double fans and she gave me well-packaged clumps, at least 4 fans of each with some of them being 7 fans! I requested a bonus and she gave me a four fan clump of it. Not only does she have great plants, but she is a warm, friendly person and a talented hybridizer. I ordered one of her introductions after seeing it at a local garden, GREYWOODS GREAT DANA. I am a total bagel lover but I completely fell in love with this one and HAD to have it!! This was my first order from her and I am definitely impressed." | |
|
"Well we got surprised today...Our
order came from Darlyn this afternoon. In a nutshell I'm tickled pink. | |
| "Years of excellent plants and dependable service!!! Working with Darlyn will guarantee you the best, healthiest plants... wonderful clumps of plants that are zone hardy to 5b... Doesn't get better... my garden would not be the same (nor would my hybridizing program!)" | |
| "Yet another year of beautiful healthy plants! I have ordered daylilies, hosta and Japanese iris from Darlyn and her plants surpass many many sellers both in health and in generosity!" | |
| Guidry's Daylily Garden | "TET LAVENDER BLUE BABY, I absolutely had to have this plant. I got it from Pat Guidry, it is very nice and he sent VATICAN CITY (something I was thinking about buying) and FOR ANNABELLE, which I was unfamiliar with but after looking at the photo in the database I love it, EDGED WITH NO EYE!" |
| "I ordered a number of plants from Guidry's Daylily Garden when their seasonal special sale was on. My order arrived today and I was floored when I opened the box. Most of the fans and double fans were almost as big as my wrist. I was expecting single fans of most of the CV's I ordered, and found that they shipped many double and even triple fans. The bonus plants they sent were really cool too. I just love it when an order comes in and the plants look this good. :-) " | |
| Iron Gate | "Iron Gate sent huge fans too, which I was not expecting since they are in North Carolina and not Florida. And three bonuses from my wish list, including a clump of the Ufo FLY SO FREE!" |
| Jeff & Jackie's Daylilies | "Jeff & Jackie's Daylilies!! Great fans and bonus .. I ordered Alvatine Taylor Yates and received 3 fans!!" |
| Joiner | |
| Kaye's Kreations | "Kaye's Kreations!! Totally class act!!!" |
| "I agree with you that Kaye's Creations is a class act. She is extra generous and sends huge, gorgeous plants." | |
| "I received my auction wins today plus some others that I ordered from Kaye. I was REALLY UPSET! I think that she wants me to spend the rest of the week digging holes to plant those MONSTER fans. Seriously, Kaye sent me some of the biggest, healthiest looking plants that I have ever seen. And on top of that she sent two really nice bonuses and some variegated Artemisia. Thanks Kaye, I am really, really Happy! " | |
| Le Petit Jardin | "I was absolutely blown away when I opened a huge box containing a collection won on the auction from Gavin Petit. I kind of dropped a hint about what kinds of Petit daylilies I already had - and what I was really into - he sent just the bonus I was hoping for - FORMAL APPEARANCE. And then he threw in another very very nice beauty!! The value of the bonuses alone was higher than what I paid for my 4 gorgeous cvs. And the plants were HUGE - I felt like I was digging a well to plant them, many with scapes. So even if I manage to price myself out of his future auctions by saying this - keep your eye out for them! They're great! And they help Gavin pay his college bills. Gavin and Ted are very generous and now I'm an even bigger fan!" |
| "I received a massive GARY COLBY last week. I'm pretty sure it's the biggest fan I've ever seen anywhere." | |
|
"Got mine yesterday from
Petit and they were huge! Very nice plants.
| |
|
"Got
GARY COLBY and CARVED INITIALS (both of which I will be growing!
| |
| "This was our favorite order in this year! Large fans, generous bonus... Really looking forward to seeing GARY COLBY bloom this year! Fabulous transaction, most definitely will be doing business again!" | |
|
"On my way back driving my mothers car
home from her Florida winter home I picked up Ted's Poly Collection I had
ordered. "Magical Indeed" and "Hypnotized." Nice large sized plants. Dug and
plopped into a pot while I was there. 1 is 2 fans with scapes on both...the
other is 1 large fan with 1 small fan with 1 scape. Didn't think a bonus
came with the collections, but he gave me a bonus which is Expensive Taste -
3 fans - (2005 intro). | |
| "I got my order from Ted last week. Nature's Poetry was at least a 5 fan solid clump with a couple smaller ones coming on. Lady Betty Frezt was 4 very nice fans with a bonus of Expensive Taste. All were huge plants and massive roots! I was very satisfied with my order." | |
| "Fall 2006 order of Larry's Obsession, got one good size single fan (didn't expect more for this new intro) plus got very nice bonus - Circus Performer. Both made it through a tough winter and have scapes! Will order again from Ted and will order again from Gavin too." | |
| "Once again... Fabulous healthy fans came in a HUGE box! Generous growers, I will be a repeat customer!" | |
| The Lily Farm |
"I got a wonderful order from Jack
Carpenter. I ordered Cinderella Sue and he sent two 2005 intros for
bonuses. And I lost Red Eyed Fantasy last year and he set aside some for me
to replace it. I couldn't believe it when it was 13 fans + a smaller 4 fan
piece! Instant clump!
|
| Littleton's Greenhouse | "We are very pleased with our order from Anna Littleton. She sent big healthy plants and her gift plants were more than generous. We don't think you can go wrong ordering from her." |
|
"I agree. The plants I received from
Anna and Dee Littleton were top-notch, freshly dug with excellent root
systems. The bonuses were very generous too. Thanks to Susan for letting
us know about this garden. "
| |
|
"I second that. I was very pleased
with my order, and she is such a nice lady to deal with. Wish I lived
close to her, I would probably be over there all the time!!"
| |
| Lovett's Daylily Garden | "Repeated quality service and plants... Dan sends consistently HUGE plants and generous bonuses! I highly recommend his spring sales~ Awesome prices for newer cultivars!" |
| "Beautiful plants as usual... very very happy with a 2005 introduction that only costs $35! Always a pleasure doing business with the Lovett's!" | |
| Marietta Gardens | "Once again, Marietta's has exceeded my expectations... I ALWAYS receive multiple fans of ever plan ordered... John goes out of his way to be generous. I owe him many thanks!" |
| "This is the second year in a row that I have ordered from Marietta's~ twice this year alone! John sends generous numbers of fans and bonuses... always, all ways, worth it! Excellent service makes for happy customers" | |
| "From Marietta I got King Gregory, At Sunset, Mean As A Snake, Geneva Firetruck, Angel Rodgers and Roses In Snow with Mama's Cherry Pie and Tears of Love as bonuses. I thought the fans were on the smallish side this year too although the bonuses were larger. Go figure. John is still my favorite seller! I just love that man." | |
| "I got my order from the Shooter's-Marietta Polkadot and Desert Icicle with Tears of Love and Tuxedo Whiskers for bonuses. All were kind of on the small side, but they are growing and seem happy. Plus I have no doubt John would replace them if I lost one." | |
| "Got my order from Marietta this past Monday...For bonuses they sent a 4 large and 1 med fan clump of Magic Dragon (that I requested for my son who likes dragons <G>), and 3 fans of Tears of Love! John and Faye were very helpful, pleasant, and professional, a real pleasure to buy from. | |
| "Just received a wonderful order from Marietta. They sent bonuses worth more than my entire order." | |
|
"I got my order from Marietta's (Shooters)
and I got Watchyl Digital Scream Watchyl Dancing Spider, Watchyl Peacock
Spirit, Watchyl's Christmas Widow, Changing Lattitudes and a bonus | |
| "Repeated purchases this season... results are quality, generous fans and a very happy customer! Definitely a place to come to for a wide variety of cultivars" | |
| "Two fabulous orders... the second even BEAT the first! Each cultivar had at least three fans! They are well known for their generous bonuses from their own introductions" | |
| "Got my order today from the Shooters, and wow! All of them have at least three or four fans, except for a double fan of one which they told me was because they were very limited on. They sent me three fans of a bonus Butterfly Whirl, and here's the one that really made my heart sing. I counted at least 16 fans of Dragon Dreams! I have never gotten a clump so big from anyone. The most has been 6, but 16? Wow! And those are just the ones I could count, still bundled up in their rubber band. I am very happy!" | |
| Maryott's Daylily Garden | "WOW!... Cannot express my delight enough! Not only did I receive at least three fans of EVERY plant I ordered... but then my bonus plant was about the same value of my entire order! This was my second order and I am more than ecstatic with both the plants and the service! I cannot recommend MARYOTT's highly enough! If you want to be very very happy~ then you MUST do business here!" |
| "I placed an order with Maryott last week, and it arrived today. Oh my gosh, the fans are huge, but that's not the best part. They included 2 bonus plants (also huge): Elizabeth Salter and Frequent Comment!! I am so thrilled, I'm going back for more. I cannot recommend them highly enough! Thanks so much!" | |
| "Yay!!!!! I received my order today from Maryott's in California!! The plants look great! All are at least double fans if not more and they are huge! I got Awesome Blossom, America's Most Wanted, Gift From Heaven, Happy Apache, and Catcher in the Eye!! And I got Cherrystone and Mabeline Eyes for bonuses!! Mabeline Eyes is one of his introductions and it is just beautiful!! I like the look that it and Catcher in the Eye has. I think he was reading my mind on what I needed to hybridize with! I highly recommend Maryott's. Now I have got to get to planting!" | |
| "Maryott's sends the BEST plants for bonuses! Just received a huge fan that is about to split into three of JOHN PEAT! This was my 3rd year ordering with them and they continuously outdo themselves in order to please their customers!" | |
| "Got my first order from Maryott's this past Friday!!! Man, what beauties they are and 4, yes 4, gift dl's as well. Some of which sell for much more than I could or would pay for dl's. Top of the line dl's. Most of what I got were clumps not dbl fans, and huge ones at that. In terrific shape also, so, if anyone out there has been thinking about ordering from Bill and Marilyn, listen, don't think, do it! They are indeed on the top of my supplier list as of today." | |
| "I also am expecting an order from Maryott's this summer, but I have received plants from them before and they are always healthy and the bonuses are so generous!" | |
| Michigan Historic Daylily Gardens | "I ordered plants from Lavere Webster at the Michigan Historic Daylily Gardens. This is the place to get Historic daylilies and species plants! I got 4/5 fan clumps of H.citrina, H.citrina X Night Gown and H.f.Rosea #2. And he included a bonus clump of Perry's "Sunset". Never got such beautiful fresh species plants before.. He is available at Lavererew@aol.com and can download a catalog if you are interested in these types of plants." |
| Mike Huben | "I already planted the four small clumps of EARLY AND OFTEN that I had bought. I only bought 4 plants and he sent me extra fans. Plus there were four bonus plants that I did not yet get planted. I got SPACECOAST TINY PERFECTION (3 fans), LITTLE WILDFIRE, LITTLE CLOWN and 1 fan of CARIBBEAN MISTY MARTIN. Yep, four bonus plants on a four plant order." |
| Miss Becky's Lily Farms | "Received my White Collection from Miss Becky today along with two bonuses, 'Eloquent Silence' and 'Alabaster Angel'. Miss Becky always send premium quality plants and this time was no exception! Becky, you spoil me so! I love it! I" |
| "Yes indeed. I rec'd my order from Miss Becky. Simply great, healthy large plants. Best of my spring-- which has been a good one. The lottery part is Miss B's bonus's. Generous to a fault and quality selections to boot. I mean this order just made our day. Thank you nice Lady!" | |
| "I received my order from our own Miss Becky today. The plants looked like they were just dug this morning! Beautiful dark green foliage and very, very nice roots. And what a bonus plant. I am thrilled with this transaction. Thanks, Miss Becky" | |
| "I want to alert everyone to Miss Becky's web site. Since she has plants listed now in the auction, I looked her up on the internet. Her site is pretty neat. It uses the Tinker's database to list the plants that she has for sale. Her prices are very reasonable, and I have ordered from her before and her plants look great when you receive them. She is always so generous in her donations to Tinker's fundraisers, so I encourage everyone to check out her site and see what is available. Believe me, it is a long, long list." | |
| "I second that about Becky's generosity and HUGE plants! I think she grows them on North America's finest glacial deposit soil! They have roots that barely fit in the box!" | |
| "Miss Becky's plants arrived today... I swear that this woman redefines "generous"! Anyone who wants a guaranteed fabulous order... this is the place to go!" | |
| "A few days earlier, I had received
from Our Miss Becky in Michigan the diploids: George Jets On, Apple Swirl,
Marked by Lydia and tets: Blue-Eyed Butterfly and Wild Horses. As a bonus I
received diploids Persian patter, Spanish Sketch, and Jack Sprat. It was a quality order...big plants, in great shape, generous bonuses. The daylily world is full of wonderful people who go out of their way to please and be upright." | |
| "I am now doing a happy dance my wonderful box from Miss Becky arrived!!!! They are now sitting in water and they will go into my new part of the bed in the morning." | |
| "AREN'T MISS BECKY'S BOXES MARVELOUS?" | |
| Moon's Farm | "I just received a great order from Moon's Farm today.. If any of you have never shopped there, I suggest you give them a whirl... The fans I received were large and very clean. Check them out." |
| "I just got an order from them too...large & healthy plants. Can't wait til he introduces some of those seedlings!" | |
| "I bought from Bruce last year. Large plants, healthy, generous. Since then I have chatted with him a few times on the computer---very nice guy. He does have some very nice future intros, the thing I liked the most is that many are unique, a very rare trait among today's introductions.---" | |
| "Bruce was one of the best sellers I bought from, of the Eureka advertisers - excellent plants and service, and very generous." | |
| "Just wanted to let everyone know I received my order from Bruce this week, and WOW! Absolutely beautiful big green plants (looked like they'd been dug the day before). As always Bruce is generous to a fault! Many were three and four fans, instead of a double. But the most impressive thing was the way they were packed ~ like no other order I've every received. Instead of wrapping each individual plant in newspaper he had laid them out in layers-three plants to a layer between layers of moistened newspaper. It was so neat, and made unpacking so easy. And there were no stray roots to get tangled and broken, which can happen when unwrapping" | |
|
"I also got my order from Bruce Moon
with lots of beautiful goodies inside. He always sends wonderful plants
and I love the way he packs his too. They looked like they were dug
this morning. Aah, sweet daylily dreams tonight
| |
| "I was was so surprised and pleased when I opened the box that arrived today. Bruce, at Moon's Farm, was very generous and I have to say that this order is probably one of the best that I have received from any mail order source. All the plants were 3 fan clumps or more. Comic Strip was a 7 fan clump. Borders On Pink and Banned in Boston were each 3 fan clumps and Bold One was a 4 fan clump. And he sent me 2 bonus plants. I had mentioned that I'd like to have Hundredth Anniversary and he sent me 4 fans of HA. There was a surprise bonus of 3 large fans of Pink Vibrations too." | |
| North Country Daylilies | "I just opened my shipment from Melanie Mason and north, south, east or west, this order was the highlight of my spring! I have never ordered from her before, and she sent lovely BIG fans of her tets, and nice hefty dip fans too. The root systems were wonderful, especially on Melanie's which were gigantic. She was wonderfully generous, Melanie sent me FOUR big fans EACH of ELMORE JAMES and her own TALIA JORDAN. I can't recommend her more highly." |
| "The fans I got from Melanie were crazy big. I think I only have one cultivar that healthy looking and that far along in my garden. I am incredibly pleased. I am saving my pennies to order a couple of the more expensive ones next year. I have my eyes on Maid of the Meadows and Gypsy Rose." | |
"--all plants were fine due to her
beautiful packaging. she sends the loveliest plants--honking big divisions
for northern grown, with gorgeous roots. sent me a
TRIPLE
of MABOU and ASTRAL VOYAGER and some of the others--and lovely quads of
MAPLE HUES and BEST BEHAVIOR as gifts. Melanie is terrific. if you are in
the north and have never dealt with her, I encourage you to give her plants
a look. you won't be disappointed in what you get." | |
| "So, I can't help but notice that daylilies planted just a few weeks ago from Melanie Mason, including ones she picked up at the Can-Am classic and shipped along with the ones grown at the farm, look like they have always been here. I mean really if you visited the garden and looked, you would think those daylilies woke up this spring and started growing right in the spots they are now. Really amazing" | |
| Northern Lights Daylilies | "I just opened my shipment from Mike Grossmann and north, south, east or west, this two growers are the highlight of my spring! I have never ordered from him before, and he sent lovely BIG fans of tets, and nice hefty dip fans too. Mike's plants were so carefully packed they literally looked like they had just this minute been dug. He was wonderfully generous, both in the plants I ordered and in his bonuses. Mike sent me a single fan of his beautiful MAJOR MITCHELLS HEADDRESS which I had desperately wanted but couldn't make the money stretch. I can't recommend him more highly." |
| "Northern Lights Daylilies, Mike Grossman has fabulous, healthy plants of newer intros. They were healthy, the divisions were usually more than the stated single fan and I think all will be blooming this year. Transactions are smooth." | |
| Oakes Daylilies | "They always have such HUGE, healthy plants and their family is sooooo nice. I have been a repeat customer with them." |
| "I'm trying to re-label all my DLs this year, including some that I've lost track of. Oakes was nice enough to look up an order for me from seven years back so I could figure out what I've got." | |
| Oleo Acres | "I received two I have been searching for: Schlumpf: Silver Butterfly - ev. but born and bred in Ohio. Found it in La. at Oleo Acres. The Faruhar's certainly send out big beautiful plants. They also sent a bonus of Rushing Delight which I very carefully planted in a protected spot. I had ordered a Dbl fan of Silver Butterfly and they sent me a clump!" |
| Partridge Hill Daylily Gardens | "Partridge Hill Daylily Gardens - 23 Partridge Hill Road Dudley Massachusetts, 508-943-1885 Steve and Ellen Laprise. I was looking for Lambert's and Ellen has a number of them. The fans were large and looked like they had just been dug. Ellen also included 2 bonuses which surprised me. Would I order again, SURE WOULD. I received real value for my money." |
| "Ellen is very nice and I am quite pleased with her plants and all-around transaction this spring ('07). Hopefully will get to see her garden soon - her seedlings are getting rave reviews!" | |
| Patron Gardens | "Last year I ordered from Patron Gardens, Ron and Pat Bonner down in Albany GA. Excellent plants. I lost four of them during the winter blast. Pat replaced the plants with no questions asked and one of the replacements was 5 fans. I can't say enough good about these folks. I think anyone can order from them with confidence. " |
| "I ordered from them last year and was totally, totally satisfied. I lost three of the plants over the winter, wrote to Pat about them and the replacement plants are already in the ground and looking good. Pat's a pleasure to deal with over the phone and wanted to make sure that I was satisfied with their plants. I'd never hesitate to buy from them. Just excellent and sent a very nice bonus plant too." | |
| "I ordered last year, and again this year. I could not be more pleased-My plants are healthy, and totally rust free. I think Pat Bonner is my favorite source for getting great daylily plants at a great price, only problem is you need to place your order in December, because she sells out fast. She does do an alternate list that she will send thru email on some older varieties, once she sells out." | |
| "My order from Pat and Ron Bonner of Patron's Gardens came in Wednesday and I am very impressed with what they sent. The fans are huge, the root systems are extensive with little damage and several are sporting baby scapes! I sure hope they survive to bloom at least one flower. I ordered Strawberry Fields Forever and the double fan they sent looks like some celery from the Grocery plus it's splitting into multiple fans! YAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!! This is my second year ordering from them and I must say that I am pleased once again." | |
| "I just wanted to comment on my experience with Patron Gardens, now that my first order with them has arrived. To begin, I had been emailing them for a while, trying to decide on a purchase - then they sent me the info on the sale - then I called, and spoke with Pat. She was super helpful, very nice, and took plenty of time to answer all my questions. I was on limited funds, so I only ordered two plants from them, and got to select two more as my freebies. (It was a two for one sale) The only condition was that the plants came from a predetermined list, and the freebie had to be equal to, or less than, the cost of the purchased plant. I picked out Spacecoast Cranberry Breeze, and got Spartacus Adorned with it, I also picked out Spacecoast White Out, and then I ran into trouble! I couldn't decide on the freebie I wanted - either Clothed In Glory, or Destined To See. Pat recommended Clothed In Glory, because there it is more expensive than Destined To See and I'd be getting more bang for my buck. Well... they sent huge double fans of Sp. Cranberry Breeze & Spartacus Adorned, and three fans of Sp. White Out, and four big fans of Clothed In Glory! I'm a very happy camper!" | |
| "Pat and Ron are really super folks to deal with. They are generous to a fault with their plants, and are always very helpful. Most plants I've received from them have bloomed and multiplied the same season! " | |
| "My order from Patron Gardens was waiting for me at home yesterday! All the plants were in great shape, a few with scapes starting to emerge too. And they gave me AARON'S LITTLE WHOPPER as a bonus! I'd not heard anything about this but when I looked it up I found that it will have 70 or so buds and seven way branching!! WHOOHOOO!! Patron is a great seller and this is my third year ordering from them." | |
| "Pat always sends beautiful plants with large healthy root systems! My order came about 10 days ago. They are very generous and helpful folks! They must have been reading my mind because I wanted to order WISPY RAYS and didn't, and there it was as my BONUS!! Wow, I love Christmas in April !" | |
| "My order from Patrons' arrived today - wonderful! The fans are super, half of them have scapes with buds on them, and my bonus was BEYOND 2000! I'm a happy camper! (any time daylilies come in, I'm a happy camper) At the time of digging, all but two of my ordered plants had sold out. They include; A BODACIOUS PATTERN, AMERICA'S MOST WANTED, BLUE FLIRT, DARLA ANITA, ENCHANTED APRIL, and LITTLE SENSATION. Still available - at least then - are MAKE BELIEVE MAGIC and WILD HORSES. I have tomorrow off from work, and I hope the thunderstorms hold off so I can play in the garden all day! That was my biggie order for the season - happy happy happy ... | |
|
"I just received my order this week from
Patron Gardens (Pat & Ron Bonner)and never have I seen such great plants &
terrific root system. These plants were packed to perfection, still green,
perfectly clean, and I would have to give them a thumbs up
| |
|
"Yes, I also ordered from Patrons.
Received my order about 3 weeks ago and was very, very pleased. Huge clean
plants, extra fans and a bonus that I had requested. I got the impression
that they were extremely busy, and yes they are worth it. | |
|
"I've gotten plants from them for the past
four years and they have always been just as you described Kitty! This
year's was no exception, absolutely gorgeous
| |
| "I got lovely plants, great prices and fabulous bonus plants. Would definitely buy again. " | |
| "I received my second order from Patron Gardens on Friday. The first order was earlier in the spring but when I saw they were having a buy one, get one of equal value sale on $15. and $20. plants, I ordered again. My first order I got two great bonuses of my choice. On the buy one, get one free sale there are no bonus plants but nice green healthy bonus fans. Several fans have scapes on them so will wait to see if they mature. I just had to let you know how pleased I am with Patron Gardens." | |
| "Yeah, they rock. Ron and Pat send great plants. A+ A+ " | |
| Payne's in the Grass Daylily Farm | "Leon & Paula "Payne's in the Grass" sent extremely nice triple fans with very generous bonuses Ordered four plants, received three bonuses. What is really amazing is that on May 28th, four weeks after planting, two of the plants have multiple scapes! WOW!" |
| Piedmont Perennials | "I got a big box from Piedmont Perennial (Jim Murphy) with some very nice healthy plants! I was already out this morning before work planting and re-arranging " |
| Pinewood Gardens | "Phil Korth is a generous grower... Received generous healthy fans and would highly recommend him!" |
| R. Seawright | "I went there in person instead of ordering from them, as they are not too far from where I work. They are very nice people, and the plants were very healthy. I certainly recommend them to anyone looking for plants that do well in the northeast." |
| Rainbow Acres |
"For everyone who loves MILDRED MITCHELL blooms... I just have to point out the generosity of Kelly Mitchell. I haven't placed an order with Kelly since I ordered MILDRED MITCHELL back when she was introduced... and I remember his kindness from back then. I placed a spring order with him for two cultivars... and just received them today. My bonus was a fan of his 2009 introduction LILAC QUEEN :)" |
| Reilly Daylily Gardens | "Had the best afternoon just because of this man! I had ordered one of Phil's 2005 introductions, TRUMP CARD, several weeks ago; received a very healthy fan with two smaller fans... but this time! I cannot tell you my excitement when I opened up MELODYE CAMPBELL...found a huge fan splitting into three along with two bonuses! Both bonuses are quite large and healthy! On my way out to the garden to go planting right now!!!" |
| "Phil & Pina are the most generous, hospitable people we have ever met! We now have five more plants than we had prior to visiting them...but we have witnessed generosity run amuck!" | |
| "He is very generous and the plants are very healthy. His garden is impeccably kept and I enjoyed talking with he and his wife very much. It was as if they had known you forever. When I was going to bid on something he was selling that was hybridized by someone other than him, and I inquired if he knew how it would do here he said he would get back to me. That same day he got back to me after contacting the hybridizer and told me not to bid on the plant as he didn't think it would like my zone 5! Great all around." | |
| Ridaught Daylily Farm | "Just received my DL order from the Ridaught and boy are they beautiful. The fans are huge! This isn't my first order from them but their plants never cease to amaze me :-)" |
| Singing Oakes Daylilies | "Today's incoming box of daylilies from Singing Oakes Garden in South Carolina reinforced my resolve to do my daylily buying from people like Jim and Peggy Jeffcoat whenever possible. The huge, healthy multiple fans were proof - again as in the past - that my business is appreciated! As if to underscore that feeling, the gift plants were the ones I hoped for, but never expected them to be multiple fans of such size and root mass." |
| "Huge & Healthy Fans... Excellent bonus worth the price of the purchased fan (what's that? 100% bonus?) I was extremely pleased with my first order that came in today~ rest assured that I will be a repeat customer... after all, with the combination of quality plants, quality communications and quality service, I would be a fool not to!!" | |
| "I got my first daylily order this spring yesterday! It was from Singing Oakes Garden (first time I'd ordered from them) and I'm really happy with it. They arrived nice and fresh, with extra fans." | |
| "Fabulous healthy fans and a generous (I do mean GENEROUS!) bonus. Highly recommended!" | |
| "I just had to add to this. I had recently placed an order with Singing Oakes Garden and what a wonderful box I received. Huge fans and 2 wonderful bonuses included. I have ordered from them before and will order again." | |
| Slightly Different Nursery | "Owned/Operated by Paul Owen (I'm sure many of you know him), has excellent service, outstanding healthy plants and you always get the most for your money. I bought a couple of Paul's intros this year and they took off running. I think they may bloom this year. Woo hoo!" |
| "Paul Owens from Slightly Different Nursery listened to my request, my hybridizing goals, etc., etc., and after learning that I didn't have room for a bonus plant, agreed to send only DREAMING OF LINDA. Then I think something tickled his fancy, because when I opened the box, there was DREAMING OF LINDA with a friend, tetra BARBARA MITCHELL. I guess he heard my love of diploids, and thought he could trick me into continuing with tets for awhile longer. Some hybridizers are sneaky, and slightly different! Beautiful fans of each!" | |
| Small World Gardens | "Thanks Michael, My order arrived today via USPS very nice and healthy plants. Small World Twister, Small World Heartthrob, Small World Blue Rainbow, Small World Edwin Keith Smith, and Small World Showoff." |
| "My order came in from Small World...BRIAN looks great, and love the extras! Thanks, Buck!" | |
| "Christmas was today.....the first 3 boxes arrived. TET GEORGEJETS ON and WILD AND WONDERFUL from SMALL WORLD (BUCK) an absolutely beautiful Double fan with W & W as a bonus. These plants were packed nicely, large, and look REAL GOOD! MANY THANKS AGAIN BUCK! I can't wait to throw its pollen around and according to BUCK its fertile BOTH WAYS...YAHOO!!!!!!" | |
| Snow Peak | "I just received my order from SnowPeak only days after I had ordered it. The plants were healthy and I received 3 and 4 eyes of some of the varieties. The prices were also some of the best I could find. I would rate SnowPeak a 10 as they give you your monies worth. I even got bonus daylilies that I was not expecting. Thanks SnowPeak! " |
| Solaris Farm | "My order from Solaris Farms arrived Today. I had ordered Stargate Portal and Purity and Nate sent along a beautiful big DF of Moroccan Sapphire for a bonus. Wow. The plants were beautiful, well rooted, green, and raring to go. I enjoyed being able to ask him questions about my order. It certainly is a nice place to buy from." |
| "Nate Bremer at Solaris Farms sent nice blooming size double fans and a triple, with one of his introductions as bonus. Sent me to the garden doing the Happy Box Dance." | |
| Springwood Gardens | "Karol sends double fans of her introductions plus bonus plants . One of the people at the Club meeting said that Karol's plants were the some of the nicest he's ever received." |
| "Have to comment on 1 order that I have never seen happen in the 4 years I have been buying daylilies. My order from Springwood Gardens was outstanding! Woman At The Well is 3 big fans with a scape on one that was BLOOMING IN THE BOX!!!!!!!!!!!!" | |
| "Ordered from Karol Emmerich. I got Woman At The Well and she sent Wellspring of Wisdom for a bonus. They were packaged great!" | |
| "I ordered Woman At The Well from Karol Emmerich last year and she sent me Wellspring of Wisdom as a bonus too! She was so nice to talk to and really helpful giving me hybridizing advice. Woman At The Well didn't bloom last year but Wellspring of Wisdom did. It was a beauty!" | |
|
"I figured I had better post about my Springwood Gardens order that came the other day. Most that I bought (except for TIM KORNDER not available last year) were 2009 intros. I got at least double huge, huge fans except for DESIRE OF NATIONS which was one fan but the biggest of the lot. I remember last year my order was mostly 2 fans except for MAN OF SORROWS which was a single daylily fan, the biggest I have ever seen. That split into two last fall and it came up three fans this spring. So I had asked for HEALING TOUCH as a bonus and received that. I had also listed two of her 2009 intros as bonus suggestions and I figured I would be lucky if I could get one of them. Well, she sent both! Both two large fans. I got FOUNTAIN OF LIFE and RICH IN MERCY. I am a very happy camper :-)) " | |
|
"Karol sent a beautiful order. The fans are all green with no yellowing, and they are almost a foot tall. She sent extra fans and five (5!!!) bonus plants with the seven I ordered." | |
| Sunshine Hollow Gardens | "Hi folks--I received my sunshine hollow order today--thanks to the person that posted info on their clump sale. the plants were very nice--even the reg. priced plants were a minimum of 4 nice sized fans, with nice BIG root systems. the plants were clean and well marked and they even refunded me 2 bucks that they didn't need for shipping. they informed me by email when the order was shipped, and it got here via UPS very quickly. a good experience all around--I recommend them and will order from them again. (esp. since they sent me a beautiful 5 fan clump of LITTLE RAINBOW--YAYYYYYY!)" |
| "I ordered from Sunshine Hollow last year and received 4-6 fans in each clump!" | |
| Thoroughbred Daylilies | "I ordered for the first time this year from John Rice. The plants were huge and healthy and he sent a great bonus!! He was really, really nice to talk to." |
| Top O'Hill Daylily Farm | "Super fast delivery, excellent service! At least three fans of each cultivar with an extensive list to choose from; Purchasing from here was a wonderful experience which will be repeated! I have to point out that they have a list of cultivars from before 1951 for the collector" |
| Ward Farms | "Wow. I must praise Matt Ward, of Ward Farms, and his daylilies: I found his web site purely by chance while searching online for something or other. There was a link to a clump sale page and the rest, as they say, is history. I'd decided to get "just one or two things" because the prices seemed too good to pass up. And if the daylilies were lousy or small, well, how could I go wrong with a clump for $5.00 or so? I received the huge, double-sized box yesterday and one thing's for sure: the daylilies are neither lousy nor small. I'm so delighted with what I received." |
| Watermill Garden | "I marvel every year at the size of the Florida new intros. This has got to be the biggest I have ever seen. It is a single fan of Across the Universe. I cannot get my hand to grip around the fan. It is MASSIVE. The others were large but this one was a cornstalk! Can't wait for the bloom!" |
| "This was our first time ordering from the Trimmers- Plants were clean, healthy and large; communications were friendly & super prompt & helpful!" | |
| "My Trimmer order was the first to arrive! Huge healthy fan... and a four fan bonus! Truly generous people :)" | |
| Woodhenge Gardens | "Woodhenge Gardens featuring the introductions of Jim Murphy and Margo Reed is a great place to order. This year ordered Fish Face and Saskatoon. Received a $100 new introduction, Virginia Moonshine as a bonus. Last year, many of my orders were filled with four and five fans to a plant. Gray Witch from last year has over 20 fans in one year from an original five and the plant is one of the largest in my garden. From 28 plants ordered last year, all survived -20 degree tempertures in Illinois this past winter and are looking great this spring." |
