Wow, I had no idea Daylilies had the ability to have blue! A well known hybridizer lives down the road here, I am going to have to have a talk with Bill! I think I could find a bit of room here somewhere for one of these beauties. Great pic!

Bill should be able to recommend a good 'blue' one!
As you can see by all the other images, the color can vary depending on yemps, culture etc.
The first image I took in PF was in the hybridizers garden in FL. She has a great small flowered blue program.

I'll have to give him a call then. He is a very interesting person, very passionate about his hybrids. I confess, I have never been interested in Daylilies before. These photos have opened my eyes!

He will get you going! Tell him Sue Brown said hello ;-)
He used to breed and sell bearded iris (he registered over 100 of them) here in San Jose until he sold his 1 acre and moved out there and started with daylilies. http://mytown.mercurynews.com/archives/wgresident/10.08.97/CoverStory.html
