Letter from the Region 12 President
Another year has begun and another bloom season is upon us. I hope you and your loved ones are all safe and healthy. What a start to a year! Every year we say that this year is crazier than the last. This year will be the top for quite some time. Unfortunately we won’t be able hold the regional meeting this spring because of the virus and shows have been cancelled. At least we have the daylilies.
You will probably notice that the newsletter is not as nice as in the past but we are without a newsletter editor and we have to make do with what I can do. Would love for a creative person with an eye for detail to take over the position.
I would like to offer a big thanks to the North Florida Daylily Society for hosting a great Fall Regional. Lots of
fun and good to see all of the familiar daylily faces. I hope everyone has had a chance to check out the redesigned Region 12 Website by James Fennel. If you see or talk to James, let him know how much we appreciate it.
In this newsletter you will find the ballot for the next Region 12 President. Please make sure you vote. Either mail or email your vote to Opal Howell, her address and email address are on the ballot.
Because the shows have been cancelled our club is holding a virtual show on our show date of May 2nd. Each person participating will email or post to Facebook five pictures of daylilies blooming that day. It’s not a show but we can at least interact a little and see some pictures of pretty flowers. Let me know what you club is doing to keep in touch during this time.
Lastly, I ask you to mark your calendar for September 18th and 19th. The Central Florida Daylily Society will be hosting the Fall Regional at Mead Gardens. More details to come.
See you in the garden

Director’s Corner
I want to do a special thanks to Sharon Agosta and Marsha Crisler for all their help with the Tallahassee Club, Region 12 and ADS. We work together with the auctions for the club and the region and a lot of other activities. I have been treasurer for Region 12 for about 20 years in addition to being Director for the past 3 years. Region 12 Bank Account Fraud: I made a check out for $14.95 and mailed took it the local post office for mailing. The check was intercepted and wiped clean and cashed for $13,500.00. I discovered this after receiving the bank statement realizing the error. I went straight to the bank and told them what the problem was. I also contacted the local police and the Post Office. We did get the money back, after 4 months! My personal opinion as lessons learned: The checking account should only have a small amount of money. The majority amount of money should be in a savings account. You only have 60 days to notify the bank if there is a problem. The bank, the police nor the post office were not very helpful. Not for Profit accounts are considered business accounts and it could be up to 6 months before you get the money back. Use writing pens that will not wash off.
Make a complaint to FDIC (Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation). The Registrar for ADS is looking for the missing pictures for the William Munson daylilies and any other old daylilies you are growing. If you grow any of the Munson Daylilies, please check the ADS Portal for any missing pictures. If you grow any of these and have pictures, please forward the pictures to the Registrar.

We have had an unusually warm/hot start to spring here in north Florida. We are so fortunate to have a club that has so many strong, giving members, always willing to provide assistance and guidance to making our club one of the best in Region 12. Unfortunately, the recent spread of Covid-19 has limited our effectiveness as a club on a daily, weekly, monthly and quarterly basis. We had so many productive and fun activities cancelled during this time of “social distancing”.
On February 29, 2020, several of our members were available to expand the knowledge and beauty of daylilies through a plant sale at the Duval County Extension Office. We were able to sell over 100 pots of planted material and made $450.00.
The following functions either have already been cancelled or potentially will be cancelled:
04/04/2020 - Plant Sale at Blooms Galore
04/19/2020 – North Florida Daylily Society – Monthly Meeting (April)
04/25/2020 – Bus trip to Orlando area
05/09/2020 – North Florida Daylily Society Show

BAY AREA DAYLILY SOCIETY
The BADS club ( Bay Area Daylily Society) is only meeting for dinner or lunch every other month or so since last spring. Since the break out of Covid 19 we haven't been able to meet.
We still have a active Facebook page. We are sure many of you daily fans are excited to see the bloom season start that you take photos of that first bloom. We would like you daylily fans out there to post a photo of this season's first bloom on our page. Feel free to share personal garden photos on our page as well. We would love to see a video virtual tour of daylily gardens on our page as well. Stay safe in your gardens and keep visitors six feet away.
—Dennis Hoffman, BADS President
Central Florida Daylily kicked off our 2019-2020 season in September with a presentation by Jeff, Liz and Alex Salter. We got to see some of their new intros plus some of their seedlings being evaluated for future introduction. We also brought some great auction plants. Dan Hansen from Ladybug was our October Speaker filling us in on what he has for his 2020 intros and also what he looks for in his hybridizing. November's speaker was Floyd Sewell who gave us a wealth of information on growing our favorite flower, Daylilies of course. The club had our annual Christmas pot luck dinner and gift exchange in December. The New Year brought us Bruce and Kathy Fowler of Kathy's Daylilies located in Moultrie, GA followed in February by our speaker Nicole DeVito from Nicole's Daylilies. The club also participated in February at the Seminole County Garden Expo located in Sanford FL. We brought some Daylilies to sell and they were very popular selling out in a couple of hours. The club received a lot of questions on Daylilies and also our club. Our March meeting speaker was Tom MacCubbin, horticulturist, author and host of "Better Lawns and Garden" radio show for over 18 years. Tom spoke about different plants that do well in Florida and what time of year we should be planting them. The club also started work on our display garden located at Mead Garden in Orlando. The plans for our bed were designed by our Club member Fred Sutton and with the help of Martha Clouse and volunteers from Rollins College the sod was stripped and Fred put down compost for us. Sadly, we had to cancel our

With all this “doom and gloom”, there are several positive things that are happening here at NFDS:
• Our club has achieved 50% AHS membership. This is extremely important for hosting an accredited show.
• Preparing to submit an order for NFDS shirts and hats.
• Preparing to secure and purchase $500 worth of plants from hybridizer in Region 12.
• Setting up a “zoom” presentation platform in hopes of being able to socially interact during a time of “social distancing”.
One of the many things I enjoy about our club is we have many members who are “master” gardeners.
During our March meeting, we were blessed with presentations by Connie Gladding and Floyd Sewell on the topic of “introducing and maintaining companion plants in our gardens”. The presentations were followed by a raffle of many of these companion plants.

OCALA AREA DAYLILY SOCIETY
Not much going on with our club, we have discontinued meetings till September. We are continuing to partner with the Pioneer Garden Club of Ocala building a daylily garden at the Ocala Art Park. We planted the two pots of Ophelia Taylor plants CJ and Virginia Gregory donated at the park. We would like to create a display of Ophelia’s plants at the garden if we can locate and obtain more plants hybridized by her. Ophelia lived in Ocala and was a member of the Pioneer Garden Club.

TALLAHASSEE DAYLILY SOCIETY
Opal's Green Thumb
We all know Opal Howell - a stalwart figure in the national daylily society. She has been around long enough to know a good plant from one that needs to be discarded - registered or not! When you visit her home in Tallahassee the first thing you notice is she doesn't have a lawn mower. To her, grass is a weed and every square foot of her yard is dedicated mostly to daylilies, some camellias and a few other flowering plants.
Her "green thumb" skills are evident in the health of her plants. She likes variety in her daylily patch and seldom keeps more than half a dozen of any one flower. Why? Because she is always either giving them to club members or contributing them to our club's annual sales event in May. Unfortunately, this year's sales event has been cancelled - another CoVid-19 casualty.
Typically, Opal will give a new daylily plant two years to show its best features - lush, broad leaves; thick scape stalk that supports numerous buds and a near perfect, fully-opened flower. If it makes through the first criteria, come splitting-time it better show a robust root system or she is likely to toss it onto the compost pile. Also, she hates a plant that is susceptible to Rust - what's the point? Who really has time to be treating a daylily with multiple chemicals throughout the year? Not her.
She wants all daylily growers to consider using some of the oldest known varieties with natural disease and pest resistance to restore vitality to the plant - roots, leaves, scapes and flowers! Let's strive to keep this beautiful flowering species at the top of the list

TALLAHASSEE DAYLILY SOCIETY Now for a quick update on the TDS Veterans Cemetery daylily project. The first year of growth in this 100 ft X 10 ft bed saw all plants blooming nicely throughout spring and summer 2019. Irrigation has been regular and the bed is being tended by community volunteers. The groundskeepers learned a lesson in herbicide spray-drift on a windy December day when several areas of the Cemetery started showing plant stress a few days later - including our bed of daylilies!. At first, club member Dan Adkison and I weren't sure what the problem was. After
conferring with the Cemetery director he confirmed the hit from herbicides and noted they will be taking greater precaution in the future.
Fast forward to March 2020 and the flower bed was looking much better with scapes starting to show on many varieties. They looked so nice that the director was interested in knowing when they could be split to plant a second bed. Even though the TDS club will not be meeting this year, members concurred that the new bed preparations should begin in summer so it would be ready to accept new fans for planting in November 2020. Stay Tuned for another news flash covering the bloom season of 2021.

Region 12 Garden Judge Liaison report for spring 2020 newsletter
At this writing Florida is under a stay at home order because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Exceptions include “Participating in recreational activities (consistent with social distancing guidelines)”. Clearly gardening and garden visiting fall under this exception. According to my reading of this ADS garden judges are not precluded from doing their annual appraisal of daylily cultivars. All Region 12 daylily gardens (private and commercial) should be welcoming of visitors as usual.
If the May 23 Regional meeting is held as scheduled, the Garden Judge Clinic II will be conducted by Jeff and Elizabeth Salter. Judges needing to complete the clinic for reappointment have another option if they are not able to attend or if the meeting is cancelled. ADS sent out the following:
Hello AHS Garden Judges,
As you probably know, some regions have canceled their spring meeting, some are considering the same, and the National Convention is not a certainty.
Garden Judges II workshops (required for about 80% of those up for 2020 reappointment) are usually a part of each of these events.
In light of that, it has been decided to give a one year extension to all Garden Judges that are up for Reappointment in 2020.
A memo to this effect will be included with the Awards
Ballot that will be mailed to all active Garden Judges soon by the Awards and Honors Chair, Rhonda Veroeven.
This does not apply to those that are up for reappointment beyond 2020.
Anyone that has completed the Garden Judges I workshop and has not yet attended and completed the Garden Judges II workshop will be given an extra year to fulfill their obligation for an Appointment as a Garden Judge, as outlined in the Judging Daylilies In The Garden Handbook.
Claude Carpenter, Garden Judges Records Chair
In addition, Clinic I will not be available at the May meeting. However an online clinic is held periodically. Go to the ADS Members Portal for details.
See you in the gardens.

If you have a high interest in daylilies and want to learn more about the characteristics of daylilies, including bloom size, bloom form and are interested in learning what makes a great show flower or what is considered a fault in an exhibit, then exhibition judging is for you! Many hybridizers and enthusiastic exhibitors also find that taking the judges training gives them an advantage in exhibiting and registering exceptional daylilies. Judging Daylilies is a wonderful study of the daylily on a very intimate, detailed level. A keen eye and ethical mind are required! What are the steps I need to follow to become a exhibition judge?
•You must be an AHS member in good standing for at least two consecutive years to start judges training.
•You must successfully complete two clinics. These clinics may be offered by clubs in your area or at Regional and National meetings.
•To become a Senior Exhibition judge, you must satisfy several practical hands on requirements, all described in the Exhibition Judges handbook.
Why should I consider becoming a Exhibition Judge?
AHS members may download the Exhibition Judges Handbook for free from the Members Portal Exhibition Judges Materials page.
