Have just taken a "dream" trip I've wanted to take for 15 years to the Florida Daylily Mecca. Google Daylily Mecca and then click on some of the garden links to see the gorgeous flowers I got to walk amongst with my DH (also my driver, map reader and tour director). It was unusually cool for Florida in May, though not cool, and yes, even with a hat and hiding in shade, I got sunburned. By the end of the week I was so tired I was confusing the words digitizer and hybridizer. Hey! Both great designers with fabulous colorations. I am so inspired, but can't stitch yet because I have a "few" daylily holes to dig. I highly recommend this trip, especially if you are in the Southeast. It's all near Disney, though combining Disney with daylilies would be way overloading your brain.

This sounds as if you had a whole lot of fun, specially in the company of DH, (driver, map reader and tour director)

He's done Senior Adult Travel Ministry, so he's good at driving, making accommodations, map reading, and helping me out of the car and over curbs! Also, has a good eye for the restaurant that will take a bus, not so useful nowadays.

They'd better! I spent three weeks before going, moving my rock wall to enlarge the garden area and prepare holes for the flowers (more rocks). Not to mention the embroidery money I spent...

Lucky lady! I would have loved to go with you since I love daylilies and most other flowers. I'll skip Disney though.
