Field Trip to Woodside Garden, for Daylily Dazzle Days, with Renowned Hybridizer - Dr. Darrel Apps

* This place was absolutely amazing!  Twelve of us went down in three vans, and there was no extra room coming back, as we seemed to buy just a few daylilies.  Most especially, Darrel spent more than an hour with our group, walking through his gardens and hybridizing fields - answering all our questions and giving insight into selecting the best plants out of tens of thousands of possibilities.  Look for another trip back to Woodside Garden next year!
