Dad's Dream was chosen by my father as the finest daylily to bloom in my 50,000-seedling field one year. He selected the daylily while I was in Florida looking at some of the great future introductions there. ''If you don't introduce this, you've got rocks in your head,'' he told me. I was surprised to find something so good blooming so early. This can be the showiest daylily in any garden where it is grown well. The colors are brilliant and the edging and eye are very dark. | | |
