| The Connecticut Daylily Society (CDS) is a non-profit group of perennial enthusiasts who meet several times a year to discuss our favorite flower-- the daylily! We are affiliated with the American Hemerocallis Society, a national organization we urge all daylily enthusiasts to join. Most of our meetings are held at the Avon Senior Citizens complex (directions below). We feature guest speakers from all over the country who speak on daylily-related topics. Programs may include Power Point presentations of the latest introductions, or other garden issues, such as pests or fertilization techniques. Daylilies are wonderful perennials! Here in Conn. We have varieties that can start blooming in late May. Others will start in August. Heights can range from ten inches to over six feet! Flower size can vary from an inch or two up to a foot or more. They are so diverse in their attributes, so easy to care for, and incredibly beautiful, that no garden should be without them. Meetings are free and open to the public. A pot luck dish or desert is encouraged. Come join us for a meeting to learn more-- and hear some great speakers! |
