The
Color Encyclopedia of Daylilies $49.95
by Ted Petit & John Peat
A vast array of daylily hybrids has been developed from only a small group of
species in the Genus Hemerocallis. Hundreds of new daylilies are introduced each
year, and no other book describes and illustrates so many of the hybrids in one
place. The parent species are also included, but the focus is on the amazing developments
that have been achieved through hybridization.
Close-up photographs show the detailed characteristics that hybridizers look for
and work for. Each photo is accompanied by a thorough description of the
daylily's color, size, bloom season, and parentage. In addition to the pictorial
encyclopedia, the book offers extensive information on cultivation and
hybridization.
296 pp, 1264 color photos, 8.5 x 11", hardcover
