My Story

I am a small scale breeder of Daylilies in the Spider and Unusual Form Categories. It's a hobby actually that pays some of the expense itself.

I began collecting Daylilies back in 1999, all forms and colors at first and was introduced to the Spider and UF forms back in 2003 with a gift of CHESAPEAKE CRABLEGS and MADE IN DIXIE.

I started tinkering with breeding in 2000 and boy did I find I had a lot to learn! First of all there are two genetic forms and they will not (under normal circumstance) interbreed, that would be Diploids and Tetraploids (the latter have twice the number of chromosomes).

One of the first crosses I made in my new found passion was with WILSON SPIDER crossed with a lost tag melon colored open form seedling, while not an award winning combination it did show me what WILSON SPIDER could produce. From there I crossed WS with just about everything, the cross that led to my first hopeful registration was WILSON SPIDER x ORCHID MAJESTY; in 2014 I out-crossed it to SCANDINAVIA a gorgeous near white bred by Brian Mahieu (who had by then become my Mentor). In 2016 the first seedling from this crossed bloom and blew me away! Then the following year another seedling made it’s first appearance and again this seedling stopped me in my tracks! Diligence was paying off as I had several really nice seedlings bloom out in 2017. This was great, but also presented a problem; no space left for new seedling from future breeding. The answer was obvious, start selling off some of the older seedlings as well as ones from newer crosses that didn’t make the cut for future breeders.
