2007 Annual Meeting : John Rice of Thoroughbred
Daylilies |
|
John & Annette Rice breed for hardiness, high bud
count, good branching and vigor. John's favorite color is purple and
many of his introductions are in that hue but he recognizes that orange,
yellow and gold are the colors that carry best visually in the garden so
he also works in those colors. Annette concentrates on diploids and has
produced some impressive unusual colors in that realm. Their "claim to
fame" could be said to be their 2006 introduction 'Bass Gibson', which
is much sought after by hybridizers and leaves a definite impression on
all who see it. John & Annette generously donated five of their
introductions to our "Guest Plant" program. Click
