<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil has significantly contributed his
time, knowledge, and skills as well as donated numerous daylilies to Region One
since he joined ADS in 2001. Phil became a Garden Judge in 2005 and a Garden
Judge Instructor in 2012. Phil freely shares his expertise in garden judging to
help others learn how to consistently evaluate daylilies.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil instructed Garden Judges
Workshops 1 and 2 during the 2013 ADS National Convention hosted by the Daylily
Society of Minnesota in Minneapolis/St. Paul. He chaired and instructed Garden
Judges Workshop 2 (GJW2) during the 2019 ADS Region One Meeting hosted by the
Nebraska Daylily Society in Omaha. Phil became ADS Region One Garden Judges
Liaison in 2021. During July 2021 Phil collaborated with three other Region One
Garden Judge Instructors to enable us to offer GJW2 to our members in three
different states (Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska) within our geographically widespread
region when we were forced to cancel our regional meeting due to the COVID-19
pandemic and the derecho that decimated Iowa gardens.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil is a long-time active member of
two Iowa daylily clubs: the Central Iowa Daylily Society (CIDS) in Marshalltown
and the Cedar Valley Iris and Daylily Society (CVIDS) in eastern Iowa.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil is a talented daylily hybridizer.
He and Debbie Deemer grow their large daylily collection and Phil’s daylily
seedlings and cultivars on their beautiful acreage garden in Parkersburg, Iowa.
Phil is a gifted speaker who presented his daylily program at Lilyhemmer in
2019 and as banquet speaker for CVIDS in 2021. Phil has also presented his
daylily program during the annual CIDS-hosted Pollen Dabbers as well as annual
Region One Hybridizers Slide Presentations.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil and Debbie’s Parkersburg garden
has been the site for GJW2 whenever CIDS hosts an ADS regional meeting
(approximately once every five years). That included hosting GJW2 during July
2022 in their Parkersburg garden while Phil simultaneously chaired the 2022 ADS
Region One Meeting “Back in the Saddle” hosted by CIDS.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil generously hybridized and
donated the beautiful daylily ‘Swiss Vanilla Cream' (Phil Fass, 2022) as a registration
gift plant to each 2022 ADS Region One Meeting attendee. Phil also hybridized
and donated the lovely bus plant daylily ‘Chasing the Dragon’ (Phil Fass, 2014)
when CIDS hosted the 2015 ADS Region One Meeting.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil coordinates the Region One
Hybridizers Slide Presentations whenever CIDS hosts the ADS Region One Meeting.
For many years Phil has co-chaired the annual Pollen Dabbers event hosted by
CIDS, bringing in outstanding hybridizers from across the U. S. and Canada to speak
to our region’s members. Phil runs the laptop and projector during these events,
taking care of technology to ensure speakers’ daylily presentations are smooth
and flawless. Phil’s background as a college professor makes him a valued
mentor—his intelligence, energy, and sense of humor are contagious! </span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Whenever a need arises, Phil steps
up and gives 100%. This was most notable when CIDS hosted the 2022 ADS Region
One Meeting, the first in our region since 2019. Because of pandemic
complications and limitations, Phil chaired, organized, and kept tabs on every aspect
of the 2022 regional meeting. Phil became the liaison to the hotel and meeting
venues, oversaw meals, hosted our speakers, and designed and produced the
meeting handbook. Phil and Debbie even served as tour bus captains—Phil captained
one bus, while Debbie captained the other bus.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Kathy and Mary have known Phil for
many years. Nancy first met Phil in 2011 at Pollen Dabbers in Marshalltown.
During Phil’s daylily presentation, he mentioned he was looking for daylily
names. She and Phil collaborated on naming the daylily he registered as ‘Lemon
Sorbet’ (Phil Fass, 2016). Phil helped Nancy understand the complicated process
of naming a daylily and registering it with ADS. After Phil introduced ‘Lemon
Sorbet’, he generously contributed a large clump to CVIDS.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil frequently contributes many
high-quality daylilies for annual ADS regional auctions. He has used some
cutting-edge cultivars with the intent of improving his own amazing hybridizing
efforts. When CVIDS hosted the 2013 ADS Region One Meeting, Phil generously
donated over 40 daylily plants for the auction. Eastern Iowa had been hard hit
with a drought and this helped greatly with that auction. A 13-year-old club member
helped dig those daylilies for the auction. Phil contributed several different daylilies
to the teen so she could increase her own personal collection of award-winning cultivars.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 11pt;"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Phil’s knowledge, generosity, and
enthusiasm for Region One and promoting daylilies make him a terrific leader. The
depth and breadth of his strong service and dedication to Region One make him
a worthy recipient of the ADS Region One Service Award.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="font-family: arial; font-size: 11pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">Congratulations, Phil, and thanks for all you've done and continue to do for our region!</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Excitement reigned supreme as early
morning dawned on Saturday, July 16, the day of our bus trek to four beautiful
tour gardens featured during the 2022 American Daylily Society (ADS) Region One
Meeting hosted by the Central Iowa Daylily Society (CIDS) in central Iowa. Luckily
the weather cooperated with forecast high of 81° and cloudy skies. There
were two buses, north and south. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Our intrepid south bus captain was Phil Fass,
2022 ADS regional meeting Chair (thank you, Phil, for wearing so many hats and putting
on such a fun, fabulous regional meeting!). Debbie Deemer was bus captain on
the north bus. Location for the following day’s Garden Judges Workshop 2 was Phil
and Debbie’s wonderful Prairie Wind Gardens in Parkersburg, Iowa, as in the past.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Phil hybridized and supplied our
registration gift plant (we also each received a bus plant), the breathtakingly
beautiful diploid SWISS VANILLA CREAM (2022), which has 6.5 inch blooms on 28
inch scapes with three- to four-way branching and 15 to 18 buds. Parents are
SWISS MINT (Phil Reilly, 1994) X HEAVENLY ANGEL ICE (Jamie Gossard, 2004).</span></p><div style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxrq3jw4IVWeKjzohv9EjehEadBJgKEUeBujGioOmvHyWcUp8N_MYja2J9Z7VaZyefibqYvp1y2nboBD9OiMXpWiYm3jIhcORxF2xkpGJjftoEeYAgp4_GaENJD4xwDVRK5SxzMcrG4kCpvK_ivt6yVdeW7-076PRcY9fRTHBa92FCeHKJt7X8pHEs/s1225/Swiss%20Vanilla%20Cream%20USE%20FOR%20R1%20BLOG%207.17.2022.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1225" data-original-width="1019" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxrq3jw4IVWeKjzohv9EjehEadBJgKEUeBujGioOmvHyWcUp8N_MYja2J9Z7VaZyefibqYvp1y2nboBD9OiMXpWiYm3jIhcORxF2xkpGJjftoEeYAgp4_GaENJD4xwDVRK5SxzMcrG4kCpvK_ivt6yVdeW7-076PRcY9fRTHBa92FCeHKJt7X8pHEs/w333-h400/Swiss%20Vanilla%20Cream%20USE%20FOR%20R1%20BLOG%207.17.2022.jpg" width="333" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">'Swiss Vanilla Cream' (Phil Fass, 2022) clump at Prairie Wind Gardens—pic courtesy of Mary Baker</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;">My bus mate was fellow Nebraska Daylily

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">I first met Don Lovell in the early
1990s and have toured Don and Mary Ann Lovell’s beautiful Timber Creek Gardens in
Marshalltown, Iowa on multiple occasions. <br />
<br />
In the late 1990s, the late Lynn Stoll persuaded Don and I to become American
Daylily Society (ADS) Garden Judges during a visit to her eastern Iowa garden.
At that time Lynn was one of the only Garden Judge Instructors in our region.
We became Garden Judges in 2000 and later became Garden Judge Instructors, me
in 2004 and Don around that same time. Don and fellow Central Iowa Daylily
Society (CIDS) member Kathy Larson have chaired many regional daylily meetings
and Pollen Dabbers events over the years. Don received the ADS Region One Service
Award in 2004.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: center;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="text-align: center;"></span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQhwM95hgxBkYQ1OY83eZ34tIjeoBsVK3BjEs0WIWVbe3Ihsj2xO8ahr7MWwxM4pfbD0wJe-6FETWTyHHOnr6w4q4jPYwEDhc1R0LW5CAfZXWrnSqv_ZPysadMi6t9hDM9IFAikbAypZcSxRvO4Ztp4IcgUILpZvifwySMkcUS3aNBuegZJuPl-zy5/s358/Don%20Lovell%207.15.2022.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="358" data-original-width="282" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQhwM95hgxBkYQ1OY83eZ34tIjeoBsVK3BjEs0WIWVbe3Ihsj2xO8ahr7MWwxM4pfbD0wJe-6FETWTyHHOnr6w4q4jPYwEDhc1R0LW5CAfZXWrnSqv_ZPysadMi6t9hDM9IFAikbAypZcSxRvO4Ztp4IcgUILpZvifwySMkcUS3aNBuegZJuPl-zy5/w315-h400/Don%20Lovell%207.15.2022.jpg" width="315" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Don Lovell (pic courtesy of Mary Baker)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;">Don is well-known for his striped daylilies,
among them the diploids PEPPERMINT ICE (2004) and LOVELY MARGIE (2005), and
more recently CYCLONE ALL AMERICAN (2016) and many more. Don’s introductions
beginning with the word “Cyclone” are diploids while those beginning with the
word “Hawkeye” are tetraploids.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">I made a beeline to Don’s seedling
field. Excited-kid-in-a-candy-store emotions mixed with kid-eagerly-anticipating-Christmas
feelings wash over me each and every time I see Don’s seedlings—his hybridizing
program is so creative—and this visit during the 2022 ADS Region One Meeting
was no exception. Our friends Joan and John Zettel were in Don’s garden with my
husband Rich and me during our visit, adding to the fun.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">We admired many of Don’s seedlings—including
to-die-for purples—and then I stumbled over a gorgeous dark purple seedling
with a toothy gold edge. Joan ratted me out, telling everyone I was jumping up
and down (in her defense, she told the truth). We motioned Don over, he drove
up in his golf cart, and told us Melanie Mason’s EQUAL JUSTICE (2005) is the pollen
parent of that seedling. Then Don said the three magic words every hybridizer longs to hear: “You want it?” I enthusiastically replied “Yes!” Don told us where
the shovel was. I tried to dig up the seedling but was unable to do so.
Fortunately John took over and dug it up for me (thank you, John!). A small
piece broke off, and Joan took it home with her, so we can both have fun experimenting
with it.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Next Joan and I visited the other beds
in Don’s garden. We spotted a showy clump of Don’s exquisite HAWKEYE FIRE
(2016), which is out of a seedling X Oscie Whatley’s unique FIRE BURST (1998). HAWKEYE
FIRE features four-way branching with a bud count of 22, and is taller than
FIRE BURST.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"></p><div style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiK9vMPqLRGNsM2B1XIWwVrj6Gy41PV1YP4cYrtj57kjIkejReqtSp3hmG_jzRdgyWTn4e3mjpvq188qjt-VvTMF-9syGHaeY524Bvb_C6oVzuwJl59tARE1C2lqqVCsHDcyN5ab0m1UL4QQkoOPVPG1QnVgU1x87NcieABEV-q50Lt91hF5UwQDp/s522/Hawkeye%20Fire%201%20use%207.15.2022.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="522" data-original-width="511" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJiK9vMPqLRGNsM2B1XIWwVrj6Gy41PV1YP4cYrtj57kjIkejReqtSp3hmG_jzRdgyWTn4e3mjpvq188qjt-VvTMF-9syGHaeY524Bvb_C6oVzuwJl59tARE1C2lqqVCsHDcyN5ab0m1UL4QQkoOPVPG1QnVgU1x87NcieABEV-q50Lt91hF5UwQDp/w626-h640/Hawkeye%20Fire%201%20use%207.15.2022.jpg" width="626" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">'Hawkeye Fire' (pic courtesy of Mary Baker)</span></td></tr></tbody></table></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif">Next we spotted a breathtakingly beautiful daylily clump and asked Don to identify it.

She is a first-term Garden
Judge, and her term expires in 2023. Joan is also a Master Gardener.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">I first heard about Joan from our mutual friend, the late Bryce
Farnsworth, who told me he was “reeling her in.” Joan works at the Chahinkapa
Zoo in Wahpeton, North Dakota. At that time, Joan was looking for daylilies to
plant at the zoo. As part of the enabling process, Bryce lured her to the
modern and historic public American Hemerocallis Society (AHS) daylily display
gardens at North Dakota State University (NDSU) in Fargo, where Joan’s admiration
of daylilies grew into an addiction.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNtUe8jSJwVVMCoyqOddkGc81Spv4xzurgg3TS4R5IoIO_0U-2p03uTgI5-TgZ5KwMWRN_smHJ4bC14SH9wztsnb0aP_gD3TKiX3dt-R50dWvFS66oaIgQUSpNGA8SbtdHvTAFw1uIHuIAXbXP0o3ainvvY2wjyw5WSY5JDmqXDXT6cT2g_Ap7Jdk/s850/1%20Joan%20Zettel%20and%20Don%20Lovell%20future%20tet%20intro%20best%20pic%20use%207.15.2022.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="850" data-original-width="524" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmNtUe8jSJwVVMCoyqOddkGc81Spv4xzurgg3TS4R5IoIO_0U-2p03uTgI5-TgZ5KwMWRN_smHJ4bC14SH9wztsnb0aP_gD3TKiX3dt-R50dWvFS66oaIgQUSpNGA8SbtdHvTAFw1uIHuIAXbXP0o3ainvvY2wjyw5WSY5JDmqXDXT6cT2g_Ap7Jdk/w394-h640/1%20Joan%20Zettel%20and%20Don%20Lovell%20future%20tet%20intro%20best%20pic%20use%207.15.2022.jpg" width="394" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Joan Zettel with Don Lovell tet seedling—pic courtesy of Mary Baker</td></tr></tbody></table><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Bryce persuaded Joan to work as a volunteer Master Gardener at
NDSU’s daylily gardens, and Joan’s volunteer work at NDSU is ongoing and
annually continues.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Bryce served for many years as ADS Region One’s Historian. He
wanted Joan to know all there is to know about daylilies, ADS, and ADS Region
One, so he loaned her all of the copies of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">The
Daylily Journal</i> and regional newsletters from his extensive collection—five
at a time—and insisted she read them, which she did from cover to cover during a
couple of long Minnesota/North Dakota winters. I continued to hear more about
Joan from Bryce. Their relationship, which began as Bryce mentoring Joan,
evolved into friendship.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Tragedy struck. Bryce’s health deteriorated, and he suddenly
passed away from a massive heart attack. Joan replaced Bryce as liaison for
NDSU’s public and private AHS daylily display gardens for a while, but Joan’s
service to ADS Region One and to NDSU didn’t stop there.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Kathy Larson from Marshalltown, Iowa became the new ADS Region One
Historian. But how would ADS Region One gather and send the extensive
collection of materials Bryce had stored for years in his home to AHS Archivist
Ken Cobb and Kathy Larson?</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">The items stored at Bryce’s house were in a state of disarray. Joan
worked with Bryce’s roommate to gather them on multiple occasions, driving a
two-hour round trip each time to pick up batches of stuff—often during blizzard
conditions.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">After returning home from each materials-gathering trip, Joan
sorted through disorganized piles of items to find the small number of keepers
(national items for Ken Cobb and regional materials for Kathy Larson). Bryce’s
roommate located things in haphazard stages, so the materials transfer process
took a considerable amount of time, concentration, organization skills, and a
great deal of patience. Joan made it look smooth and easy, when in fact it was
anything but—it was like searching for needles in haystacks.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">Joan went way beyond the call of duty to ensure all Bryce’s Historian
files went to the right person and place. She spent extensive time driving,
poring through materials, sorting them, discarding junk, returning personal
items intermingled with the Historian items, boxing up materials for ADS and
for ADS Region One, going to the Post Office, talking to Bryce’s roommate and
me, and more. Many hours spent over many days and many weeks evolved into
several months. Joan stayed cheerful throughout—not once did she complain.</span><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span face=""Arial",sans-serif" style="color: black; font-size: 10pt;">As busy as Joan is, she continues her involvement with NDSU and
ADS Region One. Joan became ADS Region One’s Historic Daylily Display Garden
Liaison on January 1, 2020. She often successfully requests daylily donations
for NDSU’s modern and historic daylily display gardens, and is instrumental in
increasing the number of daylilies in NDSU’s modern and historic collections. <br />
<br />
Joan is working tirelessly to create a new daylily club in the Fargo/Moorhead/Grand
Forks area and to recruit future club members (I have personally met some of
them). Joan has amassed an impressive personal daylily collection to fulfill
her Garden Judge’s responsibilities. Joan registered one of the late Bryce
Farnsworth’s diploid seedlings as Hemerocallis ‘Fargo Golden Glitter’ (2019).</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span face="Arial, sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt;">ADS Region One appreciates Joan’s service for our region and for
NDSU. Her cheerful service, dedication, upbeat attitude, determination, and seemingly
endless energy are truly inspirational. Thank you, Joan, for all you do!</span></p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5696001926568723904.post-55579641416231664782021-10-30T11:23:00.002-05:002021-10-30T12:39:21.385-05:00Groundbreaking and Dedication for NDSU's Arboretum and AHS Historic Daylily Display Garden<p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Two October Weekends in Fargo–Groundbreaking (2003) and Dedication (2004) for North Dakota State University’s Arboretum and AHS Historic Daylily Garden<br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">by<br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Mary Baker</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">North
Dakota State University (NDSU) President Dr. Joseph A. Chapman and his wife
Gale invited me to attend NDSU’s fall 2003 homecoming weekend festivities, in
particular the groundbreaking ceremony for the new 15-acre arboretum at the
northwest corner of 12</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> Avenue North and 18</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> Street.
Since the NDSU Bison played my alma mater, the University of Nebraska-Omaha
Mavericks for the homecoming football game, President Chapman graciously
included two football tickets with his invitation.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">A
new College of Business Administration building and parking lot will occupy the
original location of NDSU’s Horticultural Demonstration and Research Plots.
Plants growing in the original location that will be relocated to the new
arboretum site include NDSU’s AHS Daylily Display Garden, which features the
largest public AHS historic daylily collection in the world in addition to a
nice modern daylily collection.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">Per
NDSU Plant Sciences Department Chair Dr. Albert Schneiter’s quote excerpted
from the October 8, 2003 issue of Fargo’s newspaper, <i>The Forum</i>, “This
will be a tremendous addition to NDSU. It will make a nice welcome for visitors
coming to campus from Interstate 29. The first thing they’ll see coming over
the 12<sup>th</sup> Avenue overpass will be the NDSU gardens.” <i>The Forum</i>
goes on to mention that the project’s first phase encompasses annuals,
perennials, an iris collection, and the modern and historic daylily collection.
Future plans will incorporate a rose garden, turf research plots, and a garden
composed of plants native to the Fargo, North Dakota area.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYK10LmEv3eEamqxkypORLWN58hgdMhCinxZDEtk62FH1hwkvaNibp0Um1a5_VQsoAwkyj7tQtrIPG09I_ajdCcTA92IwoAMMMomkJ-ZBxduS21gppiqFZjENja246fV3zXQiG6J20tlLDUFfLkPYl3Uf_M4SLtak4haAUd9BZYIwaHAObqRCkkqYb=s1024" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="768" data-original-width="1024" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjYK10LmEv3eEamqxkypORLWN58hgdMhCinxZDEtk62FH1hwkvaNibp0Um1a5_VQsoAwkyj7tQtrIPG09I_ajdCcTA92IwoAMMMomkJ-ZBxduS21gppiqFZjENja246fV3zXQiG6J20tlLDUFfLkPYl3Uf_M4SLtak4haAUd9BZYIwaHAObqRCkkqYb=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Karen Schock; Bryce Farnsworth; NDSU President Dr. Joseph A.

an exciting celebration! Rich and I arranged to take Friday, October 10</span><sup style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">
2003 off work as a travel day, as it’s an 8-hour drive on Interstate 29 from
Omaha, Nebraska to Fargo. In South Dakota, we took the Aberdeen exit to fill up
with gas and saw a beautiful dog sitting in the driver’s seat of a Ford F-350
pickup. One paw was on the steering wheel while his owner gassed up. The owner
told us his dog is a very intelligent Weimaraner who thinks he can drive as he
always moves to the driver’s seat whenever his owner fills the truck’s gas
tank. Inside the convenience store, two women were engaged in a lively
discussion about country music. One of the women said country music always
makes her cry, and that the only time she listens to it is when she visits
South Dakota.</span></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">We
arrived uneventfully in Fargo and checked into our motel. We then met Bryce
Farnsworth at Red Lobster for a delicious seafood meal.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">During
the next morning, it rained heavily. Bryce picked us up, which was a good
thing, as many of the streets were being blocked off for the Homecoming Parade.
Bryce took us to the new arboretum site for the arboretum groundbreaking
ceremony, where a large tent had been erected for the speakers and
groundbreaking attendees. Region One Web Master and Science Liaison John
Becker, who is an NDSU student, met us there. We had a wonderful time visiting
with John. John, who is a gifted photographer, took many photos during the
ceremony.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
saw NDSU Vice President for University Relations Keith D. Bjerke and Plant
Sciences Department Research Specialist Barbara Laschkewitsch there and
exchanged greetings. NDSU Plant Sciences Department Extension Horticulturist
Dr. Ronald C. Smith opened the ceremony. He described the arboretum project,
pointed out a drawing exhibiting its beautiful design, and commended everyone
for their hard work and dedication. Ron introduced Dr. Joseph A. Chapman, who
spoke briefly but eloquently. Dr. Chapman introduced Vice President and Dean of
Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources Patricia A. Jensen, J.D., who
provided further detail about the arboretum’s future plans, including a
building that will house an on site classroom, a visitor information area,
drinking fountains, and public restroom facilities. After Pat finished
speaking, NDSU Alumni Association President John Shotwell said a few words. The
groundbreaking ceremony followed. Bryce joined the speakers and others to turn
the first earth with golden shovels.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">After
the groundbreaking ceremony concluded, I visited with Pat and AHS Region One
member Jean Johnson. At that time, Jean owned Jean’s The Right Plant Place, a
nursery specializing in perennials for northern gardens in Perham, Minnesota.
Perham is close to Ottertail Lake, which I remember visiting as a child during
family fishing trips. Pat invited Jean and I to join her in an ad hoc arboretum
advisory committee to exchange ideas and information – we enthusiastically
agreed!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">After
our chat, Barbara, Bryce, John, Rich, and I joined Kay and Jill, who donated
their late father Art Jenson’s iris collection to NDSU in a walk through the
daylily and iris gardens. We had to walk through an area of wet Fargo clay
while it was raining heavily to get there. We’re all gardening fanatics,
because only diehard gardeners would tramp through heavy clay during a downpour
in autumn despite the fact that no blooms remained in the garden.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
said our farewells and went our separate ways. Bryce dropped Rich off at the
hotel. Rich then drove to the FargoDome to get a parking spot for the upcoming
Bison-Mavericks football game. Bryce and I proceeded to FWB Industries,
formerly known as Fargo Rubber Stamp, to get information about a commemorative
sign for NDSU’s historic AHS daylily collection. FWB Industries isn’t normally
open on Saturday, but Sheri Larson made special arrangements to meet us shortly
after the arboretum groundbreaking ceremony. Sheri greeted us with a pot of
freshly brewed coffee, which was just what the doctor ordered after a cool,
rainy morning.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">While
there, I fell in love with a bison. I’m not referring to any current or former NDSU
students or staff, but to a lovely bison sculpture made from a lightweight
tarnish-proof aluminum alloy. I purchased the bison sculpture, which is proudly
displayed in my home office as a fond reminder of Fargo and North Dakota State
University.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">Bison
in hand, Bryce and I left with samples and other information for NDSU Plant
Sciences Department Chair Dr. Albert Schneiter. Bryce dropped me off at the
FargoDome where I met Rich for the homecoming football game. I purchased an
NDSU sweatshirt that I wore during the game. The Bison annihilated the UNO
Mavericks by a score of 34 – 7. Mark Sanders, an NDSU right guard, played an
awesome game. Mark is the nephew of Jeff Willer, who is Consulting Services
Director for plaNet Consulting, the company I contract for. Jeff, who is an
NDSU alumnus, is a former Bison football player. It’s a small world!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">After
the game Rich and I returned to our hotel to freshen up. We later met Bryce and
Don for dinner at Guadalajara’s, a Mexican restaurant with a full line of authentic
entrees, including many seafood choices. Bryce treated us to an excellent meal
– thanks, Bryce!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">The
following morning, Bryce met us at Denny’s for breakfast with NDSU Plant
Sciences Chair Dr. Albert Schneiter. Al had returned from a trip to Tennessee
late the previous evening, and we were delighted to have the opportunity to
finally meet him in person. During a delicious breakfast, we discussed various
types of commemorative signs for the AHS historic daylily collection as well as
layout for the sign. Al thought of the fantastic idea of setting the sign atop
an angled monument that would rest on the ground. After we finished breakfast,
we said goodbye to Al and gave him a copy of our AHS Region One Daylily Pioneer
Cookbook as a memento.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
followed Bryce to NDSU, where we toured the potato grading facility and
greenhouses. Bryce showed us where the potatoes are stored as well as the
grading equipment, and then he gave us four bags of gourmet North Dakota
potatoes to take home, including Yukon Gold and Gold Rush, which became
mouthwatering mashed potatoes for a follow-up family dinner. The russet
potatoes were the very best baked potatoes we’ve ever eaten!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt;">We
went through the greenhouses and saw mass quantities of potatoes in various
stages of growth. Rich was first to spot what might be the first-ever
ornamental potato cultivar, and he excitedly called us over to look at it. It
has something Bryce has never seen in all his years of potato breeding – a
bright red central stamen area, which is usually a soft golden orange color.
The flowers, which resembled morning glories, were perfectly flat and round in
a stunning shade of lavender mauve. Each perfect bloom contained a darker
central star-shaped area that in turn was centered with a brilliant emerald green
starburst throat. Stems were reddish purple and the healthy compound scalloped
leaves were green with a subtle red cast. Plant habit is cascade, which would
make this lovely gem perfect for a hanging basket. Bryce marked the potato and
showed it to his boss Susie Thompson on the next day, with the result that it’s
been selected for evaluation. I’m keeping my fingers crossed – if all goes
well, this potential future ornamental potato introduction might some day be
available at garden centers near you!</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj74tI3hqxjOPoTIuGdWgfpu9-brJfbLuBaBpM3W5ACUeruJ9tuXXXW-Qia32sCbihYz36sZ53ZXQPGTPH9W3f_o9Gvh9rrnpd2SSh5IxxhNZ_q9PdI83hksxCy54NUsND0-9WFgvmeObijzf31fcsbumiALfbGWikzjV_r_ZKvkX3AaZFRiGVdkrnr=s1600" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj74tI3hqxjOPoTIuGdWgfpu9-brJfbLuBaBpM3W5ACUeruJ9tuXXXW-Qia32sCbihYz36sZ53ZXQPGTPH9W3f_o9Gvh9rrnpd2SSh5IxxhNZ_q9PdI83hksxCy54NUsND0-9WFgvmeObijzf31fcsbumiALfbGWikzjV_r_ZKvkX3AaZFRiGVdkrnr=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Asunta "Susie" Thompson, Associate Professor NDSU Plant Sciences (September 5, 2019; pic courtesy of Mary Baker)</span></td></tr></tbody></table><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">I

dedication on October 30, 2004. I accepted and flew to Fargo, where I attended
Friday night’s Harvest Bowl activities along with fellow AHS Region One members
and their friends Bryce Farnsworth, Don Martinson, Barbara Laschkewisch, John
Becker, Amber Langford, Central North Dakota Daylily Society President Karen
Schock, Canadian Prairie Daylily Society President Janice Dehod and her husband
John White, and Terrie Mann. At 9:00 am the following morning, I had the honor
and privilege of speaking with NDSU President Dr. Joseph A. Chapman, NDSU
Vice President and Dean of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources
Patricia A. Jensen, J.D., and Central North Dakota Daylily Society President Karen
Schock during the NDSU arboretum dedication. Unfortunately heavy rain before
and during the weekend forced the dedication ceremony to move indoors to
Loftsgard Hall.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfTGCbRnxl9fWLPzWjvcLhxKjTNidg1ft1dvBF1udagmyaKys1skAvAPZCoKxhAgnXmOom0UKkLHW9_WbcrKFsrQPPM87wFh0ES6GeK7PLF1TqwD2g00THcvFNGXSLR4CorKvbfi7vF-PznjrAtHZsA8kkJmznybhKe3zwcntg4kUPjnpL6AIWPTT0=s2048" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1179" data-original-width="2048" height="230" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjfTGCbRnxl9fWLPzWjvcLhxKjTNidg1ft1dvBF1udagmyaKys1skAvAPZCoKxhAgnXmOom0UKkLHW9_WbcrKFsrQPPM87wFh0ES6GeK7PLF1TqwD2g00THcvFNGXSLR4CorKvbfi7vF-PznjrAtHZsA8kkJmznybhKe3zwcntg4kUPjnpL6AIWPTT0=w400-h230" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial;">pic courtesy of Mary Baker</span></td></tr></tbody></table></p><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">As
there were no daylilies in bloom and much of the foliage had gone into
dormancy, the well-designed layout and beautiful structure of the new arboretum
was quite apparent despite the weekend’s rain. The enriched soil will grow
NDSU’s daylilies to their fullest potential. The AHS Historic Daylily Garden
sign is gorgeous and visible from quite a distance, as is the plaque
acknowledging donors. There is ample room for additional daylilies in both the
historic daylily area as well as the area featuring modern daylily cultivars.
Both areas combine to comprise NDSU’s AHS Display Garden.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Thanks,

Each pretty daylily bloom is more than just its face; that face is attached to the rest of the plant. Garden Judges look at the entire plant.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.2667px;">Garden Judges Workshops 1 and 2 instruction provides the knowledge and tools to consistently and impartially evaluate daylily performance in garden settings. Garden Judges annually vote the ADS Awards & Honors ballot. The Awards and Honors system relies heavily on Garden Judges, because Garden Judges select a majority of the ADS Cultivar Awards each year. Most awards are based on cultivars observed in the Garden Judge’s own region, so it is important to have Garden Judges in each region. Currently each region is allowed to have up to 20% of their membership as Garden Judges.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.2667px;">There is a $5 fee to take each workshop for credit, and a $3 fee to audit a workshop.

Garden Judges learn to evaluate foliage, plant vigor, scape height, bud placement, overall beauty and distinction of the bloom and plant, resistance to disease, form, and bloom substance.

As a hybridizer, the Garden Judge’s method of evaluating daylilies assists me with selecting seedlings for registration. I examine balance and proportion of scapes to foliage, branching and spacing of buds on branches, foliage, vigor, flower substance and sun resistance, color clarity, etc., and especially look for distinction. As a collector, I want to grow daylilies that make beautiful, healthy clumps and bloom over a long period of time. Garden Judge training provides the tool kit to analyze overall performance of my seedlings, registered cultivars, and the many beautiful daylilies from other hybridizers that dazzle in my garden.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0in;"><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="font-size: 10pt; line-height: 14.2667px;">It is an honor to represent my region as a Garden Judge.

The lone shady oasis belonged to a neighbor couple who had emigrated from Germany along with their iris collection. While an eight-year-old boy, gary would watch John, a cobbler, work in his shed on leather shoes and harnesses. When John tired of gary, he told gary about the bear hiding in the basement. gary would quickly retreat to the adjacent house, where Pauline welcomed him with freshly baked cookies they enjoyed in her beautiful garden, where it always felt cool on the hottest of days.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygThifFRR305TEPfddjW08VXUMVNcReYpOIpH6p2tf0ehvTO9lb69h713ZuP2bi4OSl2rJS7lyONGt0MJQj_S1XCtWDu9yOZlsPk-FEMzqf3Ctx02KFZVVO3Cq31_1ZQEPQzWa7_8mNQ/s960/gary+rita+and+family.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="640" data-original-width="960" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhygThifFRR305TEPfddjW08VXUMVNcReYpOIpH6p2tf0ehvTO9lb69h713ZuP2bi4OSl2rJS7lyONGt0MJQj_S1XCtWDu9yOZlsPk-FEMzqf3Ctx02KFZVVO3Cq31_1ZQEPQzWa7_8mNQ/w640-h426/gary+rita+and+family.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">gary and Rita Schaben and family (pic courtesy of Chad Schaben)<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">After moving to Minnesota, gary’s sister-in-law gave him some Hemerocallis fulva to plant in a wet area of the garden. gary liked its vigor and hardiness and then discovered that daylilies also came in yellow. In 1989, gary’s mother-in-law told him that the gentleman from whom she rented pasture land, Marion Hagerstrom, grew and created daylilies in all sorts of colors. gary frequently visited Marion, and Marion gave him lots of seedlings to play with. Gary quickly became enamored with daylilies; as a result, gardening took on a whole new meaning. In addition to physically working in the dirt and designing artistic beds, he became hooked on creating his own daylilies. Sadly, gary’s first promising seedlings bloomed the summer after Marion passed away.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Personal and Cultivar Awards</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">gary did quite a bit of hybridizing with daylilies before his involvement began with his local club, the Hemerocallis Society of Minnesota (now known as the Daylily Society of Minnesota or DSM), and the American Hemerocallis Society (also known as the American Daylily Society or ADS). It started when gary learned about a seminar at the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum by Norm Baker, who owned and operated a nearby daylily nursery. gary joined DSM and ADS, and he quickly became an active member of both societies.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Kathy Lamb met gary and his wife Rita through DSM, and Mary Baker met them while attending ADS regional events. gary served as ADS Region One Publicity Director, a position he held for five years from 2000-2004 while Mary was regional vice president (now known as regional President or RP) and Kathy was regional newsletter Editor. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Over the years, gary and Rita generously contributed many daylilies and extensive time to local and regional events.

He looks at daylilies from the bottom up, avoiding “to die for” blooms on plants that fail to thrive. His real passion is for vigorous, hardy cultivars with great plant habit, excellent branching, healthy foliage, and overall plant proportion and balance. If all that is in place, he then looks at the blooms, selecting for clear color as well as excellent form and substance.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">gary’s favorite hybridizing direction is for complex patterns with fancy faces. His second love is working with spiders and unusual forms, which he admires for their gracefulness. Fancy, full-formed whites also intrigue him, and he works on these a little at a time.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">gary never worked toward yellows, but his white program produced some outstanding yellows with large size, excellent form, and substantial green infusion. While visiting gary’s garden, Mary fell in love with ‘Metabelle Beth’ (tet, 2005), which has a Marion Hagerstrom red seedling as a grandparent. ‘Metabelle Beth’, named for gary’s granddaughter, is a pale cream buttermilk polychrome with a pink blush, shocking green throat, heavy substance, perfect form, well-branched scapes, and a bud count of 35 to 42. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwhjQ9ZIk9iDHGBXOVK5l53ReuCZwwThyGo5jSU5Fc56oUmmEXYKZDq3-IZDiVB9GAj0CEz5JIl9je4064gsyfnF_3Ui64doW2B7g_UCgeRhfnOielaLtu-LNpIy_wPV8Sh-QrOpulM5k/s2048/Metabelle+Beth+FFO+6.20.2016.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1921" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwhjQ9ZIk9iDHGBXOVK5l53ReuCZwwThyGo5jSU5Fc56oUmmEXYKZDq3-IZDiVB9GAj0CEz5JIl9je4064gsyfnF_3Ui64doW2B7g_UCgeRhfnOielaLtu-LNpIy_wPV8Sh-QrOpulM5k/w600-h640/Metabelle+Beth+FFO+6.20.2016.jpg" width="600" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'Metabelle Beth' (pic courtesy of Mary Baker)<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Another outstanding cultivar in the yellow family is ‘Lemon Shadows’ (tet, 2006), with 6-inch bright lemon yellow blooms and fringed edges. ‘Our Friend Craig’, named after the late Craig Stahl, is out of ‘Concrete Blonde' X 'Just Another Yellow' and features flowers ranging between 6 and 7 inches with an intensely green infusion. When Mary first noticed that one, Rita asked, “Have a little yellow with your green?” Mary feels her late hybridizing mentor Oscie Whatley would be pleased with the incredible, perfect yellows gary has created in his quest for whites.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Full Formed Near Whites</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We love ‘Apostle of Hope’ (tet, 2001), out of ‘Admiral’s Braid’ X ‘Angel’s Smile’, for its many green-throated gold-edged blooms presented beautifully on well-branched scapes. gary says the cornerstone in his white tetraploid hybridizing program is his lovely pale yellow sculpted seedling TOV, out of ‘Just Another Yellow’ and ‘Great White’.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">‘Emma’s Song’ (Schaben/Rice, tet, 2003) is one of the most refined edge-no-eye cultivars we have ever seen. Fertile both ways, each graceful cream white flower becomes lavender at the edge with a clear green throat that complements the flower nicely. Mary used ‘Emma’s Song’ in her hybridizing program, and it is the pollen parent of two of her 2013 registrations ‘Megan’s Smile’ and ‘Princess Molly’. </div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">gary’s outstanding tetraploid seedling T98O-1, registered in 2007 as ‘Pioneer Panache’, is a creamy white polychrome as radiant as a pearl. ‘Pioneer Panache’ grew en masse in Kyle Billadeau’s lovely 2007 ADS National Convention tour garden. ‘Pioneer Panache’ features 6-inch nicely rolled back blooms with tremendous green throats on vigorous plants. gary generously designated that all sales proceeds from ‘Pioneer Panache’, available for sale for the first time during the 2007 ADS National Convention, will go to ADS Region One—yet another demonstration of gary's continual support for our region.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Spiders and Unusual Forms</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">A significant parent in gary’s diploid spider and unusual forms hybridizing program is his outstanding award-winning cultivar ‘North Wind Dancer’. A beautiful garden plant in its own right, ‘North Wind Dancer’ has produced spectacular seedlings for gary and many other hybridizers. ‘North Wind Dancer’, out of ‘Lola Branham’ and a seedling, is a bud builder that blooms over a long period of time, and it frequently passes this characteristic as well as its gracefulness to its kids.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></span><span style="font-family: arial;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTJyL17VM0iGFskccVIF16mDak9t-vm0QULr_RGFn455CcsuVDB1On5xTH3FWgteae1FvxnvDrGb9hSpQnfW-VX-DqZo3vHWK3Q8f-uZ_P21OZdPRf2gs5I66kkSmWzESBXsOEcxrPDw/s1860/North+Wind+Dancer--Phil+Greenawalt+Judie+Treangen+pic+cropped.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1332" data-original-width="1860" height="458" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkTJyL17VM0iGFskccVIF16mDak9t-vm0QULr_RGFn455CcsuVDB1On5xTH3FWgteae1FvxnvDrGb9hSpQnfW-VX-DqZo3vHWK3Q8f-uZ_P21OZdPRf2gs5I66kkSmWzESBXsOEcxrPDw/w640-h458/North+Wind+Dancer--Phil+Greenawalt+Judie+Treangen+pic+cropped.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'North Wind Dancer' (pic courtesy of Phil Greenawalt and Judie Treangen)<br /></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">We also love ‘North Wind Drifter’ (dip, 2001), a full sibling to ‘North Wind Dancer’ with a different look yet equally dramatic effect. ‘North Wind Drifter’ has ramrod straight 44-inch scapes featuring many beautiful well-spaced 8 1/2-inch bright lavender pink blooms that draw attention from afar.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">‘North Wind Billet Doux’, named for Kyle Billadeau, is from (‘Indian Giver’ X ‘North Wind Dancer’). Although its blooms are smaller, gary feels that ‘North Wind Billet Doux’ might be an even better parent than ‘North Wind Dancer’. In gary’s words, ‘North Wind Billet Doux’ would “grow on an ice cube.” It begins blooming earlier and continues blooming longer than ‘North Wind Dancer’ in Mary’s garden. gary describes it as a “gracefully ruffled violet lavender with pale lavender edge and patterned eye of gray, lavender and blue over chartreuse throat and green heart.”</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsnsgeg_Pidca1XIZnSE9EPPjzrN9c-WxDTbiJh3KvE6CVy3WmRqYN33aoSkrYQlJxrsejInYaV_SPEJvERRSgQ9uSf2PLjmL0xwgeDdbnRFO5gGXjgkR0uwz-reTS58fFhXUAO2oOljg/s819/North+Wind+Billet+Doux+6.26.2012.png" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="819" data-original-width="815" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsnsgeg_Pidca1XIZnSE9EPPjzrN9c-WxDTbiJh3KvE6CVy3WmRqYN33aoSkrYQlJxrsejInYaV_SPEJvERRSgQ9uSf2PLjmL0xwgeDdbnRFO5gGXjgkR0uwz-reTS58fFhXUAO2oOljg/w636-h640/North+Wind+Billet+Doux+6.26.2012.png" width="636" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">'North Wind Billet Doux' (pic courtesy of Mary Baker)<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></td></tr></tbody></table><div style="text-align: left;">Other exciting daughters of ‘North Wind Dancer’ (with ‘Susan Weber’ as the pollen parent) include ‘North Wind Curly Joe’ (dip, 2006), a soft clear pastel pink becoming cream and then green in the throat on twisting, curling flowers over 8 inches in size, and its very different sibling ‘North Wind Moe’ (dip, 2006), featuring 7-inch-plus diameter pinched crispate flowers in screaming hot clear pink.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">gary’s ‘North Wind Larry’ (dip, 2006), out of (‘Noel Weston’ X ‘Marked by Lydia’), is the third of “The Three Amigos” gary introduced in 2006. ‘North Wind Larry’ features ruffled yellow flowers with delicate beige overlays on multiple branched scapes that present the blooms well.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Complex Patterns on Fancy Faces</b></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">gary initially used his greenhouse to get something really dormant with dramatically patterned eyes. Out of (tetra ‘Exotic Echo’ X ’Flameburst’), he produced ‘Surfing on the Styx’, a 4-inch red with a variable smoky black eye pattern that changes with the weather. ‘Surfing on the Styx’ has five- to six-way branching and a high bud count. Its dormancy and hardiness are dominant, and it is incredibly fertile both ways. gary has crossed it with a variety of cultivars, beginning a line of patterned faces on ultra hardy plants.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">From gary’s ‘Surfing on the Styx’ line came the exquisite ‘Ciara Marie’ (tet, 2006) as well as a future registration. ‘Ciara Marie’, from (‘Surfing on the Styx’ X ‘Magnificent Rainbow’), is named for the granddaughter of Karen Schock, an ADS Region One friend from North Dakota. ‘Ciara Marie’ produces many heavily diamond dusted violet lavender blooms with a patterned eye, small silver edge, and deep green throat on very well-branched scapes. Flowers are fertile both ways. gary’s future registration out of (‘Surfing on the Styx’ X ‘Tie Dyed Moon’) features large flowers with an amazing eye pattern present on the sepals as well as the petals on vigorous, very dormant plants.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The work of Steve Moldovan inspired gary to cross his award-winning ‘Debbie’s Vows’ with Steve’s 'Mountain Majesty’ to create the beautiful ‘Paha Sapa Thundercloud’, which consistently reblooms in Kathy’s garden. gary feels that ‘Paha Sapa Thundercloud’ is the prettiest bi-tone he grows. ‘Paha Sapa Thundercloud’ is a rich purple with lavender sepals and a lovely, graceful form with an exotic broken eye pattern. It is fertile both ways, hardy, and very vigorous, and is yet another gary says “could grow on an ice cube.” Curt Hanson grows ‘Paha Sapa Thundercloud’ in his garden and feels it is spectacular.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">The cross ‘Paha Sapa Thundercloud’ X ‘Gerda Brooker’ produced the elegant ‘Paha Sapa Dream Catcher’ (tet, 2005). The triple-edged blooms, presented on well-branched scapes, tend to dramatically change color depending on weather and soil. Per gary’s web site description, “I have seen this eye so blue it will take your breath away with lavender cream petals, and then I have seen it pink/peach with red violet edging and more of a purple eye; sure wish it would stay blue but that tends to come with cooler temperatures I think, or it could be that it just has an attitude.” Whatever the color, it’s always striking and is fertile both ways.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">‘Captain Jack’ (out of ‘Pioneer Panache’ X ‘Julie Newmar’) features an incredible high contrast eye pattern, dramatic edges, and shark’s teeth on a plant that has proven to be winter hardy in gary’s zone 4a garden.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Linda started hybridizing daylilies four years
ago. Two raised backyard beds next to the patio contain her selected seedlings.
Linda’s hybridizing goal is for large, strongly patterned daylilies with clear
colors. Four of Linda’s tetraploid seedlings will be future registrations—CCXMB,
EOLXDD, CCXNW, and BBXBA.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Scott hybridizes, too, and his goal is to
produce beautiful daylilies that bloom well in shady conditions. When the
Fergusons started hybridizing, they quickly ran out of room. Linda and Scott
currently rent a garden plot at a nearby church where their new seedlings are
planted.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 11.5pt;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">When Linda’s mother passed away five years ago,
Linda wanted to memorialize her. She found Paul Owen of Slightly Different
Nursery, who has a “Name a Daylily” program, where customers can buy an entire
group of a seedling, and Paul takes care of the registration process. Linda’s
mother’s favorite color was bright red, so Linda purchased all of Paul’s tetraploid
seedling later registered as JESSIE’S LOVE (Owen/Ferguson, 2014) to honor her
mother, Jessie. JESSIE'S LOVE has 6.25 inch blooms on 28 inch scapes with four-way branching and 24 buds. It begins flowering during midseason-late and helps extend the daylily bloom season.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

four rare small trees plus various types of shade-loving plants including
hosta, ferns, heucheras, epimediums, dwarf iris, and spring-flowering bulbs. </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt;">Over 27 different ornamental grass varieties grow here, and many tolerate
shade. A few sunny areas contain daylilies but mostly showcase plants that
attract butterflies and pollinators. A water feature highlights the front yard. </span></div>

Daylily Society (ADS) Display Garden in Omaha, Nebraska. What began as an iris
collection gradually shifted toward daylilies. Phyllis attended an agricultural
display in Mead, Nebraska in 1997 hosted by the University of Nebraska. The
Nebraska Daylily Society (NDS) staffed a booth and gave a daylily to new
members. Phyllis joined NDS in 1997, and has been a member ever since. Phyllis enjoyed attending all ADS Region One
meetings since 1998 plus several Region 11 meetings and three ADS National
Conventions.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
