Presented by the Central Iowa Daylily Society
Friday and Saturday, March 27th - 28th
Marshalltown Community College, rooms 612 & 614
3700 S Center St, Marshalltown, IA 50158
Jason Delaney of PHS Daffodils will be our keynote speaker for Friday
night.
Michael Grossman and Kathleen Nordstrom will be giving their long
programs on Saturday.
Some of you know how prominent Jason is in the daffodil world, but what
many do not know is that he has hybridized daylilies as well. He sees
one of his roles as a conservator of important lines of daylilies, and
has amassed large collections of daylilies by historically prominent
hybridizers.
Pollen Dabbers has enjoyed short programs by Michael and Kathleen for
years. Their long programs are particularly rich because we are invited
to see where they both started, and where they have come: Michael is
producing remarkable northern hardy toothed hybrids, and Kathleen's
pattern daylilies are groundbreaking.
We plan to have a deep bench of regional hybridizers as well. If you are
a hybridizer and want a spot on the program, please email me at
pf1371113@gmail.com
We hope you will join and start spring right with weekend of daylily
fellowship.

President, Central Iowa Daylily Society
