RP’s Message…
The Pensacola Daylily Club
would like to invite you all
to the
Region 12 Spring Meeting,
May 9-10, 2014
hosted by
the Pensacola Daylily Club.
F
rom the cold and frozen North Florida
area I hope that everyone had a wonderful 2013 and are ready for hopefully
an exciting 2014. The Daylily plants here
look as if they have frozen all the way to the
ground, which is a good thing for growth.
The plants are resting the way they should
before they become the beautiful flowers
we dearly love. The dormant plants are hiding beneath the ground and the evergreens
look like the semi-evergreens however that
is the life of the daylily.
distance is greater our presence this Spring
should be on everyone’s calendar.
Shortly it will be time to start your spring
programs with sprays, fertilizer and weed
control. I hope all have had a good winter
with plenty of rain to nourish the plants
through the cold season. Here in Northeast Florida we have had more rain than
we need, to the point most of us had to
turn off the irrigation systems. I have heard
that some of you in the southern part of the
state may have a few scape’s up and ready
to bloom but hopefully the plants will stay
in dormancy until the warm weather is
here to stay.
Display Gardens – As a Region we should
have more than the few Display Gardens
currently registered. At this time we have
only 5 Display Gardens as noted through
AHS. Two in the Tampa area and 3 in North
East Florida. With all the gorgeous yards/
gardens in our region this number should
be considerably higher. There were several
in Central Florida however these gardens
have not completed the required renewal
paperwork to be listed by AHS. Hopefully
this process will be rectified shortly and additional gardens will be added.
Club shows are not far off and I hope all
have completed their planning to insure
we have a great show this year. Also, lets
not forget that our Pensacola Club is the
host club for the Spring Regional this year
and I would appreciate everyone showing
their support for our panhandle club. Every club needs to show their support for all
clubs within our region and although the
Looking forward to seeing everyone in
the upcoming meetings and shows and
wish for a wonderful and productive growing season. We are heading into our most
demanding part of the year that requires
our dedication and love to produce outstanding daylilies. Best to each and everyone and hope to see all in Pensacola.

be on tour.
Ted Petit of Le Petit Jardin Gardens
will be our guest speaker and will also
bring plants to be auctioned off after
his presentation.
We will have a sales table, silent auction, and raffles along with door prizes
to be given away before the business
meeting. There will also be a live auction during the business meeting that
benefits Region 12.
For those not attending a clinic or
workshop on Friday there is lots to do
in the area. The NATIONAL NAVAL
AVIATION MUSEUM has free admission, free parking, and free guided
tours along with self-guided tours.
PENSACOLA BEACH, which is world
famous for its sugar-white sand beaches and emerald-green waters, is about
a 10-15 drive down the road. The
T. T. WENTWORTH, JR. FLORIDA
STATE MUSEUM is just a hop, skip,
and jump down the way and also offers free admission. Information for all
of these attractions, plus more, will be
in your welcome bags.
I hope to see lots of you there!!!

RPD Corner
I
t is with a heavy heart that I sit to write
for the Spring 2014 directors report, just
before Christmas we lost a great friend and
for Florida a Daylily Pioneer. I of course am
referring to Phil Reilly. I am sure I speak for
all when I wish Pina and Marissa our heartfelt sympathies, a true gentleman will be
greatly missed. This passing was followed
in less than a week with the passing of my
next door neighbor, another true gardener
and friend.
I commented in the last news letter about
my raccoon problem, well the count has
now risen to 50 trapped. Then I found out
that one of my neighbors is feeding all wild
animals, I wonder if that includes bears,
oh yes the bears are back in town, we had
our trash cans overturned and vandalized
again, now they have a permanent home in
my garage.
Well it is now well into winter at Dunroamin Garden, Daylily plants are fresh
and green and appear to be surviving well,
weeding and mulching is now complete
and we look forward to the feeding and
growing season which is lurking around
the corner.
The AHS has reported that membership
has fallen to below 7,000, so we all need
to be on the look out for new members
and keeping the members we already have.
BADS and Central Florida Daylily society
have shared speakers for several occasions
in the past and continue to do so, this cuts
down on cost and allows us to get speakers
from further afield.
The AHS continues to trim budgets and
lower the cost of doing business. The latest was a new insurance company to cover
all AHS business. Heretofore they had used
Chubb which specialized in major industrial companies and were not particularly
suited to smaller parties, a move to another
company who deal with the smaller issues
has saved us several thousands of dollars
a year.
There are also several other books and
updates in the pipeline to generate some
much needed income.
I need to impress on everyone the importance of our Region 12 meetings, this
Spring it is to be in Pensacola, and I know
Michelle and the folks from the Pensacola
area are very busy making it a meeting to
Bob Martin
Regional Director
be remembered. Ted Petit is the featured
speaker, it is some time since I heard Ted
speak so I am looking forward to it very
much. I know that travel to Pensacola from
some of the more remote regions like BADS
and Central Florida, even Gainesville and
Jacksonville is difficult for some, and the
cost of a Hotel room can be daunting, however I am prepared to offer two seats in my
car to anyone from these parts who would
like to go. Is there anyone out there who
would like to match that? Also Hotel room
sharing could help with lowering costs.
Let us then look forward to another
exciting season!
Best wishes to all.
In Mem o ry
Mr. Ed Brown
and
Mr. Phil Reilly
Our region lost these two fine men recently
and our prayers and thoughts
go out to their families.

Bob M.
Creating That Right Place
T
he master gardener’s number one philosophy is “right plant, right place”. So
if daylilies are your perfect idea of a right
plant, you have to create the right place.
And creating that right place begins with
your soil.
If you’re planting in pots, containers, a
raised bed, or if you’re totally replacing the
soil in a section of your landscape, creating
the right place is simple. Purchase a good
potting soil and an over-the-counter soil
testing kit to be certain your soil meets the
basic criteria. If your soil tests between 6.5
to 7.0 pH, you have the perfect soil pH for
daylilies.
Since we know that daylilies can be
water hogs, a soil with moisture-retention
elements is best, especially in raised beds
and containers. If you want to include your
own amendments to help retain water, here
are some to consider:
Humus is made of decayed organic
materials, and retains moisture, provides
aeration, and adds fertility to soil. Humus
provides some micronutrients, but does
not contain nitrogen or phosphorus. Humus should not be confused with compost,
although compost may contain humus. An
easy way to create your own humus is to
pile together raked leaves and grass clippings and allow them to decompose naturally.
Sphagnum peat moss (which I just call
peat) is natural and odorless. Peat can absorb up to 20 times its dry weight in water,
and slowly releases it back to the plant’s
roots. Peat adds mass and structure to my
sandy south Florida soil, and helps it retain
nutrients. It can also lighten and aerate clay
soil. Peat adds acidity to soil and will lower
the pH. Most of the peat available commercially is Canadian, which transmits very
little disease.
Perlite (not the little Styrofoam balls) is a
natural white volcanic glass that looks like
tiny lightweight pebbles. Perlite is a gritty
sterile mineral with a neutral pH. Perlite
does an excellent job of holding moisture
without becoming soggy like most soils
and additives. The finer the perlite, the better, since larger pieces tend to rise to the
surface of soil over time.
Non-Organic water retention crystals
are ph neutral polymer granules. Some
claim to reduce watering by 50%, others
claim to retain up to 500 times their weight
in water. Most claim to be effective in the
soil for 3-5 years.
If you are planting daylilies directly
into your own garden soil, consider sampling and testing your soil first. Then you
can add the proper amendments to create a perfect daylily home. Each County
Extension Office will accept soil samples
for testing conducted by the University of
Florida IFAS Analytical Services Laboratories. If you have a rather large garden, taking samples from different sections is best.
Each complete sample test, which I highly
recommend, will cost $12. Considering the
Michelle Peterson
cost of our daylilies, the investment is well
worth it.
Test A ($3) is a very basic test, that will
provide you with your Soil pH and Lime
Requirement. Agricultural lime, or ground
limestone, is used in acidic soils to raise
the soil pH. Test B ($7) checks for Soil
pH, Lime Requirement, P (phosphorus), K
(potassium), Ca (calcium), and Mg (magnesium). The Micronutrients Test ($5) examines the Cu (copper), Mn (manganese),
and Zn (zinc).
Once the UF/IFAS lab receives your samples from your County Extension Office,
results will be mailed back within 10 days.
You’ll receive your soil test report, plus
notes to help you use these results to best
advantage. With the information in hand,
you’ll be able to speak with your local plant
expert, master gardener or County Extension Agent to determine what modifications
you need to make so that you, too, can live
by the credo, “right plant, right place”.

A New Display Garden in Florida
I
n the Fall 2013 issue of The Daylilian,
I threw down the gauntlet, and challenged all AHS Region 12 members,
who are not currently registered as an
AHS Display Garden, to consider applying and opening up your garden to the
public. Hat’s off to Ray and Terri Wensell
who rose to the challenge, and now have
a recently-approved AHS Display Garden.
“We are grateful to receive the AHS approval and will maintain the garden to
their standards,” states Ray. Just looking
at these pictures of their garden, I’m
certain they will!

The Advantages Of Being On The AHS Email Robin
O
ne advantage of being on the AHS
email robin is being able to connect
with people who we all have something
in common with. Recently I found out
that how compassionate the robins can be
when my son was so sick. In Sept., one day
at work a child coughed in his face. With
his immune system being compromised by
having had a kidney transplant 13 years
ago, he developed an upper repository
infection that very quickly became very
serious. He was put in the hospital, went
into cardiac arrest the first night, was able
to be brought back and he had a breathing
tube placed in him and he was sedated so
that he would not pull it out. As a result
of the infection he went into rejection of
the transplanted kidney. So now he is back
on peritoneal dialysis and will be placing
his name back on the organ transplant list.
All of the prayers from robin members certainly helped in his recovery. He is getting
stronger each day.
Another advantage is knowing that if
you have a question about hybridizing, just
send a post to the robin and you will receive many answers and advice about how
to accomplish it. Having noted hybridizers
as robin members helps all of us to learn
more about our favorite flower.
Having international members is also a
valuable asset , in that we can gauge how
well our flowers are received by the public
overseas.
When I fell in love with daylilies I was
just a child of 10 years old. Someone gave
me a couple of fans of an unnamed yelloworange colored one. I did not know then
that there were diploids and tetraploids. All
I knew was that I love the clean lines of the
flower, the soft color it glowed with when
the late afternoon sun lit it up from behind.
Now we have the world at our fingertips,
having the AHS website database .
Getting my first computer opened up a
world of daylilies to me. Typing the word
daylily in the search box took me to the Lily
Auction, where I saw so many beautiful
plants and flowers for sale at very reasonable prices. Contacting the sellers asking
questions about the flowers is so easy now.
Just fill out a form online and hit send.
Being a member of the AHS email Robin
is easy, just contact Tim Fehr and ask to be
placed on the list.
Recently my web based email provider
is not delivering the emails from the List
server at ICORS.org. I had it in my allowed
sites and it was white listed as a trusted
site. So I was having withdrawal pains
because I wasn’t getting any emails from the
robin, but have solved it by going to using
my Google Gmail address to have it sent.
Join the robin, you may find more friends
like I did.

Some Things Learned
by Greg Crane
O
nce thought Miracle Grow Garden
Soil was the best thing for filling those
amended planting holes.
Did think there was such a thing as “too
much water” for my daylilies.
Weeds wouldn’t grow through heavily
applied mulch.
The first seedling you produce is almost
never a beauty worthy of registering...but is
always a winner because it was your first.
Horse manure is full of oxalis type weeds
that are never totally eradicated.
A five dollar daylily lives a lot longer than
many one-hundred dollar daylilies.
You must have a photo attached to the
pot or sack of the daylily you are trying to
sell. No matter how pretty you tell them it
is, you gotta have a picture.
Always check the cards of the entries at
the show if you are the placement chair.
Never, never, NEVER, step into a bed of
daylilies to try to get a better photo even
if you think you are not stepping on the
plant.
Keep all comments to oneself at a daylily
show...regardless of the topic.
Even though you might have been growing lilies for 10 years, try to remain humble
when speaking in daylily circles.
Volunteer often, sit back some and
learn.
Encourage new hobbyists. You were new
once.
Get involved in your Region. Everyone
needs to chip in.
Don’t go overboard with companion
plants. Especially Verbena. It’s pretty but it
will surround a daylily and smother it.
Sand won’t grow anything...except some
palms and sea grapes.
Take pictures of your garden from time to
time. 1. See how it evolves over the years,
2. Some-one might pull up your daylily
markers and you won’t remember what is
planted where.
I love my dog, but she has to respect my
daylilies.
Never utter the words…”Oh, I wouldn’t
do that!”
Limit your time on the Lily Auction.
Very habit forming. And the sellers do
expect payment.
Always be willing to share fans with others...even if it is making a really nice clump
and is you favorite one of all.
Never forget planting some of the older
registrations in your display garden.
Don’t give up on a dormant just because
you live in Florida. See if anyone else grows
it and how it does and go for it.
Attend as many events, shows, meetings
as you possibly can. There is a wealth of
knowledge in hearing what others have to
say.
Get your soil tested. Enough said.
National Conventions are fun. Attend
when possible.
Talk about daylilies with neighbors and
friends.
Greg Crane
Editor
If you use the Robin, be careful what you
say and how much you say.
Emails are great but they don’t express
your body language or facial expressions.
That’s as much of communicating as
spoken words can be.
I still love daylilies. Even when my
expensive purchases die. I still love ‘em.
And will continue to love ‘em no matter
what.
Listen to what others have to say about
growing them. You can learn a lot by
being quiet and keeping your eyes and ears
open.
Treat others as you would want to be
treated.
Come for the Daylilies, stay for the
People.

A Lasagna That’s Molto Bene
by Michelle Peterson
I
f you find yourself struggling with your
soil, whether it’s too sandy, contains too
much clay, or has an extreme ph, why not
consider lasagna gardening? This great
catch-phrase is just another way of describing layer or sheet gardening. It is simply a
modified raised garden, and can be made
with or without a bordered edge.
I used this technique to create much of
my landscape out of desperation. Unfortunately for us, our house was built during
the real estate boom in the early 2000’s.
Houses were going up quicker than the
suppliers could provide the materials. Fill
soil, which is usually topsoil, was a scarce
resource at the time. Our contractor must
have trucked in the worst fill to build up
the property before construction. I’m sure
the fill probably came from some deep pit
in the middle of nowhere. Much of the dirt
is subsoil, the layer of soil directly under
the topsoil. While the topsoil captures
and processes the nutrients left by falling
leaves, grass clippings, pine needles and
other organic matter, the subsoil is virtually
nutrient-free. So I had two choices: remove
the soil and replace it, or build on top of it.
Suffice it to say, I chose the latter.
Back to the recipe…
Basic Ingredients:
• Weeds, minus the seeds
• Wood Chips
If you’ve ever made lasagna from scratch,
this method of layering your garden is very
similar. You put in the noodles, you add
some sauce (or “gravy” if you’re an Italian
from the Northeast). You add your meat,
you add some sauce. You add another layer
of noodles, you add some sauce. You add
your cheese, you add some sauce. With lasagna gardening , the sauce is just plenty of
water. So remember to water well between
each layer.
My lasagna garden began with my terrible dirt, grass, weeds and all. I started by
finding lots of cardboard boxes, flattening them out, and laying them on top of
the ground. Next, I used a thick layer of
composted manure, topped with Canadian
peat moss. Next came a covering of fine
pine bark. I used the purple-bagged mulch
from Wal-Mart. My next layer was multiple
sheets of newspaper, overlapping. Then I
added a another layer each of compost and
fine pine bark , followed by a substantial
coating of Canadian peat moss, about two
to three inches deep. Finally, I added a
layer of potting soil, pre-mixed with slowrelease fertilizer, covered with a thin layer
of peat moss. Although some would rec-

ommend that you cover the soil with black
plastic for 4 to 6 weeks to “cook” your layers, I planted directly into it, covered the
dirt with mulch, and watered in some preemergent to prevent any weed seeds from
germinating. Although lasagna gardens can
be as high as 3 feet, mine was a little over
12 inches.
I like lasagna gardening for a number of
reasons:
• There’s no need to hoe or till the
soil, which is hard work and just
arouses dormant weed seeds;
• You cover up the weeds and grass,
and you don’t have to pull them or
worry about them;
Continued on page 9
A Lasagna That’s Molto Bene
Continued from page 8
• The cardboard and newspaper naturally attract earthworms, who will
add their own great fertilizer to your
soil;
• It’s simple and it’s fast, so you can
spend more time doing other things;
• It’s very flexible – you can use
many different layers of organic materials that you can get for free, like
grass clippings, dried leaves or pine
needles, home-made compost, even
dryer lint.
A few cautions about lasagna gardening:
Manures – If you are going the free route,
be careful about the manures you use. Most
animal manures must be composted or they
will “burn” your plants as they decompose
and break down. The only animal feces that
I am aware of that can be added directly
to the soil is rabbit droppings. You also
have to be especially careful about your local farmer’s horse and cow manure. If the
animals were chomping on plants that
were sprayed with herbicides, those chemicals may remain in the feces, and will kill
your plants. Plus farm animal manure can
be full of hay seeds and other weed seeds,
and you don’t want them sprouting in your
garden. So be certain to use manure in the
lower layers of your garden, not the top.
And be sure to have an adequate covering
of mulch as the final layer, and, unless you
are committed to organic gardening, use a
pre-emergent like Preen.
“Fresh” Ingredients – If you’re using
fresh ingredients, such as kitchen scraps
and fresh garden clippings as a layer, you
must allow time for them to compost, and
should definitely cover with black plastic
for a minimum of 6 weeks. Although it may
take longer to use your garden, this will
add great nutrients to your soil.
Wood Ash – Many older garden books recommend using wood ash in your garden.
Although wood ash adds valuable nutrients
to your soil such as potash and micronutri-
ent minerals, it is also very alkaline. So too
much can raise your soil pH. Most plants,
like daylilies, prefer a slightly acidic soil. If
you use ash as a layer, use it sparingly.
Pernicious Problems – I have only experienced issues with one problem weed
– torpedo grass. I had some stubborn
stolons in the ground that refused to die.
I had one spot where the torpedo grass
kept appearing, even after multiple applications of Round Up. I finally had to dig
down almost three feet to find and remove
the entire root. So if you have torpedo grass
or something just as persistent, you might
want consider a using the black plastic option to make certain all the weeds beneath
the layers are definitely dead.
Despite the few challenges I experienced,
I’m very happy I learned about lasagna gardening. It saved me a great deal of sweat
and toil, and the end result is a happy gardener and lots of contented plants. Just like
a real lasagna, it’s mmm mmm good.

Region 12
Garden Judge
Liaison report:
I
BECOME AN
EXHIBITION JUDGE IN ONE DAY
T
he obvious and key responsibility of judges is to enhance the image of the AHS in all
possible ways. There are two vey important functions of Exhibition Judges. First there
are the basic requirements for their preparation and continuing education; secondly, there
is the ethical demeanor with which they discharge their judging.
For the AHS Region 12 Meeting, we have a unique opportunity on Friday, May the 9th
for you to become a Exhibition Judge all in one day. Learn what Judges are looking for and
also how you to can go to the Head Table as an Award winner.
CLINIC 1
9:00 am - Noon
In the Judges Exhibition Hand Book, which you can download from the AHS
Portal Website, read Chapters 1,2,& 3 pages 10-32. You will cover the Responsibilities &
Ethics, Standards, Rules and Accreditation. Plus the Characteristics of Daylilies and Scales
of Judging a daylily. Quiz at the end of class on chapters 1 & 2.
CLINIC II
2:00 pm -5:00 pm
Now the fun begins when you can actually Judge Cultivars. We will cover Chapter 3 in
depth. Class will briefly review Clinic 1, and AHS Awards. You will now learn AHS point
Scoring and demonstrations on Registered Cultivars and Seedings, with practice sheets.
Then you will do a written point-scoring examination on your own of 3 Cultivars and 3
Seedings. Instructors will remain in class to answer questions and it is open book.
n January our garden experienced
cold temperatures in the low 20
degree range for several hours. One
day the high temperature was only
33 degrees! As expected all of our
daylilies “slumped” down and stayed
down even after the temperatures
returned to normal. This gave us a rare
opportunity to see how our favorites
and seedlings responded as they grew
out of the cold damage.
Observing cultivar performance
under
varying
environmental
conditions is but just one of the
functions of a garden judge. Garden
judges observe many factors of daylily
performance all year long in the South.
Although it might not be as enjoyable
to stroll in the garden when there are no
blooms there is still a lot to be learned
about your daylilies. Garden judging
gives you the tools to do a better job of
evaluating named cultivars and
seedlings you see at home and in
your daylily travels. Becoming a
garden judge allows you to share
your observations with other daylily
lovers through the annual Awards and
Honors Ballot voted on every year.
Consider participating in the garden
judge workshops held at a regional
meeting as the first step in becoming a better evaluator of daylilies and
possibly an official garden judge. You
will be glad you did.
CLINIC III
2:00 pm - 3: 30 pm
This is a Refresher course for Exhibition Judges to review Judges responsibilities, Point
Scoring, Best in show ballot and Master Panel service. Then as open forum as to situations
not covered by current rules, advancements in hybridizing and what is new at AHS.

n May of 2013, thirteen of our members toured Ballards Daylily
Gardens in Hartford, AL and Amanda’s Gardens in Ashford,
AL. In June we elected new officers at a dinner meeting. July’s
event was a tour of Randy Fleming’s Dragon’s Mead. We held a fall
social at members Don and Lesa Harrison’s home. Don had
planted around 200 daylilies from his own hybridizing
experiments. So far, none had bloomed. We are looking forward
to seeing his results this year!
The ice storm in the PanHandle delayed our usual January
meeting until February 4th. Plans to maintain the Margaret
Wooten Memorial Daylily Garden were set up for 2014. Member
Gena Henderson gave a PowerPoint presentation entitled “In
Defense of Daylilies” by H. All About Eve, one of her daylilies
who had become upset upon hearing someone question whether
daylilies should remain in an existing garden nearby: “Afterall,
daylilies only bloom for a day! It might be better if the wild pigs
dug them up!” February’s meeting will feature Opal Howell from
Tallahassee, who we hope will help us prepare for a non-judged
exhibit in May. April’s meeting will be held at a member’s home
instead of our usual location and will feature a daylily swap.

has been full of interesting speakers from both near and far.
In September, we welcomed guest speaker, Pete Harry of Pete

building a nursery from scratch for the daylily collection he purchased from Frank Smith. He also presented photos of some of his
favorite new daylilies and talked about his hybridizing program.
There was also a discussion with members about the challenges of
bugs, especially the two spotted mites and about fertilization and
rust prevention.
The CFDS hosted the Region 12 Fall Regional Meeting on October 4 and 5 at the Orlando Garden Club. The meeting included
a Friday evening Meet & Greet, silent auctions both days, a sales
table, Exhibition and Garden Judges Clinics and Workshops,
guest speaker Scott Elliott of Maneki Neko Gardens in Savannah,
Georgia, and a live auction. Thanks to all the club members who
made this a most successful event!
November saw the return of long-time gardening friend and
former extension agent, Tom MacCubbin and his wife, Joani. Tom
reviewed insects and other pests that cause the most problems
for Central Florida homeowners. He talked about the insecticidal
products that worked best and discussed which were the most
natural and safe. He also brought prizes for club members who
correctly answered quiz questions. After the presentation, Tom
was presented with a “Lifetime CFDS Membership Award” for his
years of horticultural advice and education to gardeners, growers
and hybridizers throughout Central Florida.
In December the CFDS had its annual holiday party and gift
exchange. This was a nice opportunity to relax and visit with one
another as well as enjoy some great food!
Our January guest speaker was Dan Bachman and his wife,
Jackie, of Valley of the Daylilies in Lebanon, Ohio. Dan talked
about his start in daylilies in the 1980s and his years of hybridizing efforts since. He shared photos of seedlings he is evaluating
Just a week later, the CFDS enjoyed guest speaker, Bob Faulkner
of Natural Selection Daylilies in Dayton, Ohio. Bob discussed
how his inspiration for working with daylilies came from Florida
hybridizers. He presented a “Hybridizing 101” program based
on his techniques for growing and hybridizing and he showed
some of his newest creations. His goals: flat daylilies with beautiful patterns and green throats. He also hopes to develop daylilies
with brown coloration. In addition to daylilies, Bob works with
zinnias, loves a variety of other landscape plants and raises and
shows pigeons.
