OPEN GARDEN DAYS: FRIDAY JUNE 06 & SUNDAY JUNE 08, 2025, 8:30AM – 1:00PM
Please plan to join us and visit the garden especially on these days. We will have light refreshments and water and look forward to a great bloom season. The garden looks better than ever and bloom should be on time for these dates. If visiting on other dates, please call ahead to make sure we will be here.
Spring & summer 2025: We are concluding our spring digging and shipping schedule as we enter June and our bloom season. We have moderate bloom now with lots of scapes getting ready to bloom in the next few days. It should be a very good bloom season and the whole garden is looking great. Please stop by to visit during bloom season although please do call ahead to make sure we will be here except for the two open house days, June 06 & 08. We will be here and open all day.
We continue to keep our website updated to reflect our available inventory for fall 2025, and have added quite a few new listings this year as we noted in the spring. We did release 8 new intros last fall, so please take a look at those. If you have questions regarding daylilies we may have, please do email us. windyhill101@yahoo.com
We will dig fall orders starting the first of September through October. If you have a special situation, please email to work out a plan.
Our hybridizing efforts continue to show progress as seen on our Futures page. We add pictures each year to the futures page. Patterns are making some progress and broken colors in UF’s are our dreams.
As many of you know, Wanda is the “Hummingbird lady”. Like the daylilies, they will soon be back. A couple weeks after all the normal hummingbird visitors had left last fall, we were surprised one morning to see a Rufus Hummer looking in our side door window. She looked much the same as a Ruby Throated, just brown. Our first non-Ruby Throated sighting. An interesting bit of hummer info, they seem to like Harris Teeter sugar better than other brands. At first I thought it was Wanda’s imagination, but it does seem to be true. Wanda now has the neighbors feeding the local hummers and they say the same thing, use Harris Teeter sugar. Go figure!. Also, just for fun, I ask Wanda to keep track of how much sugar she purchased for the hummers in 2022. 220 pounds!! Amazing..
Thanks, Raymond & Wanda Quinn
